Briefly explain why only chromosomes of a homologous pair can have their alleles referred toas homozygous or heterozygous

Biology
1 answer:
tatuchka [14]2 years ago
6 0

This is due to the fact that only homologous chromosomes would have identical genes located at identical sites on those chromosomes. Otherwise, there would be no connection between the alleles of various genes.

Although the genes and loci of the two members of the homologous pair are similar, the alleles may vary.For instance, both allele possess the genes responsible for the attribute of eye colour. While the one has alleles for the blue-eye trait, other has alleles for the brown-eye trait. The homologous chromosomes are said to be heterozygous in this instance since the alleles are different.

On the other hand, when both alleles for a gene that codes for the blue-eye phenotype are present, it is said to be homozygous.

Why is the weight of an object more on Earth than on the Moon?
MissTica

The correct answer is:

Gravitational pull is greater on earth . As weight = mass × g so we have more weights on earth than on moon.

Explanation:

This is because gravitational force is immediately proportional to the mass of an object. Greater the mass, greater will be the gravitational force exerted by it and thus, more will be our weight. As the moon has secondary mass than the earth, it has a lighter gravitational influence and hence, we weigh less on the moon.

explain why a continuous increase in carbon dioxide levels will not cause the rate of photosynthesis to increase continuously?​
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

An increase in the amount of CO2 well increase the rate of photosynthesis, Carbon dioxide concentration will directly affect the rate of photosynthesis as it is used in the photosynthesis reaction.Increased amount of CO2 will increase the rate of photosynthesis to a certain limit, after which a further increase in its amount will no longer increase the rate any further. This is when the other factors necessary for photosynthesis, such as light, become "limiting reactants"; that is, those other factors also need to increase to bring about a further increase in the rate.

six molecules of water plus six molecules of carbon dioxide produce one molecule of sugar plus six molecules of oxygen

An increase in the amount of water leads to the increase in the amount of photosynthesis

The amount of water available to the plant will affect the rate of photosynthesis. If the plant does not have enough water, the plant's stomata will shut and the plant will be deprived of CO², and thus lower photosynthesis rate.

An increase in the amount of light well increase the amount of photosynthesis, if the light intensity increases the rate of the reaction will increase at a proportional rate until a certain level is reached, the rate of increases will then go down.

Other factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis :

1. Temperature

2. The availability of nutrients

How does the water affects the hydrophilic heads and the hydrophobic tails to form a lipid bilayer cell membranes?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The phosphate head of the phospholipid is hydrophilic because it is polar (having charge), and thus readily dissolves in water which is a polar solvent. The hydrocarbon chain tails of phospholipid are hydrophobic because they are nonpolar (uncharged), and thus remain undissolved by water. These hydrocarbon tails have an affinity for each other, orienting themselves to face each other in water, forming the hydrophobic …
