Dr. Blackwell caused rats to stop breathing when he lesioned their MEDULLA.
When doctor Blackwell induced a lesion in the rats' medulla, he discovered that the rats stopped breathing. He explained this observation by saying that the medulla has functional role to play in the breathing process of rats.
The cells show characteristics of tumors.
Tumor cells have the ability to grow and proliferate in absence of adhesion or anchoring. This is particularly helpful during metastasis when a cancer cell travels through the bloodstream to another location.

A cancerous cell has a number of mutations that regulate cell division. In addition, they exhibit impairment in DNA repair system. Therefore, cancer cell divided fast. Since the DNA repair system is nonfictional, the cells do not pause division to repair the mutation.</span>
Answer:
Allele frequencies in the population is 0.6
Explanation:
The first step in testing whether a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is the frequency of an allele in a gene pool is the number of copies of that allele divided by the total number of copies of all alleles at that locus.

The plants that were allowed to self pollinate were the F1 plants.
The plants that are true breeding are P generation plants.
The plants where there were 3times as many tall plants as short plants are in F2 generation.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
This question is based on the Mendel’s Experiment. Sir Gregor Johann Mendel was the father of genetics who experimented on garden pea plants <em>Pisum</em> <em>sativum</em> to see whether the characters got mixed or not and to know the real cause behind different traits of same character in plants.
He took the pure homozygous tall and short plants separately which he called as parental generation or P generation. These plants were homozygous, hence pure breeding.
As these plants were crossed between themselves, then the F1 generation showed all tall plants. This is because of the heterozygous plants which showed character of dominant trait. These plants were allowed to self pollinate.
As a result of self pollination of the F1 plants, the F2 plants were 75% tall in number whereas the other 25% short, which gave the phenotypic ratio of 3:1.
