The purple spots on the colorless background of corn kernels observed by Barbara McClintock were the result of the transposition of the Ds elements out of the color gene.

<h3>What are the genetic elements found in corn?</h3>
  • A transposable element is removed from one spot in the DNA and inserted into a different site in the DNA during the process of genetic transposition, which allows genes to shift their location on chromosomes.
  • The first recognized genetic instability was caused by genetic transposition.
  • The size of the tissue patch displaying the reversion phenotype increases as a reversion event happens earlier in the kernel development.
  • Barbara McClintock saw purple dots on maize kernels with an otherwise colorless background.
  • These spots were caused by the Ds components of the color gene being transposed.
  • The wild-type (purple) phenotype manifests itself in cells where Ds from the color gene "C" sequence has been lost.

Hence, Barbara McClintock discovered purple patches on the colorless backdrop of maize kernels due to the transposition of the Ds elements out of the color gene.

Why does the damage of the nervous system cause paralysis of the body?
Shtirlitz [24]
Paralysis is most often caused by damage in the nervous system, especially the spinal cord. The nervous system is what give signals to the different parts of our body so that if it is damaged signals and messages could not be transported. If the central nervous system is damaged, paralysis frequently affects the movement of a limb as a whole, not the individual muscles.

Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch. why can’t the same enzyme break down cellulose?
rusak2 [61]
Enzymes are (usually) specific to the substrates they bind to. Thus, each enzyme has one and only one substrate structure they can metabolize, so even substrates with similar structures cannot be broken down by an enzyme specific to one of them.

Phosphorus in rivers can lakes sinks to the bottom and over thousands of years becomes ______ again.
pshichka [43]

Your question isn't the most clear, but I think your answer is rocks, or more specifically phosphorous rich rocks because the phosphorous will mix with the sediments on the river's/lake's ground forming phosphorous rich rocks.

That means that It'll become a phosphate mineral and later become phosphorous again when the minerals weather.



Hope it helped,
