To solve this problem on genetic dominance, we will need a punnet square.
Let's let P represent purple-flowered and p represent white-flowered.
We have one purple flowered plant with the alleles PP, and we have one white flowered plant with the alleles pp. Using a punnet square, we can determine the alleles of the offspring.
<u>P</u> <u>P</u>
p| Pp Pp
p | Pp Pp
As we can tell from our punnet square, all of our offspring will have purple flowers. This is because the purple-flower allele is dominant and the white-flowered allele is recessive.
Since each flower has a dominant and recessive allele, they are heterozygous.
Therefore, the solution to this problem is D.
Recall that apoptosis is programmed cell death—think of it as the cell deciding to self-destruct. So you might ask yourself, why would a cell need to die?
Remember that, in the cell cycle, there are certain checkpoints where a cell may stop and ensure everything is going smoothly. If something went wrong, the cell could potentially become cancerous, in which case it is much safer for a cell to undergo apoptosis rather than risk developing cancer.
Another example would be in the immune system. When cells get infected, cells called <em>cytotoxic t cells</em> go around and force these infected cells to undergo apoptosis in order to reduce the spread of infection.
Hope this helps!
Active transport moves molecules and ions from lower concentration to higher concentration with the help of energy in the form of ATP & passive transport moves molecules and ions from a higher concentration to lower concentration without any energy.
Answer:
Leydig cells, also known as interstitial cells of Leydig, are found adjacent to the seminiferous tubules in the testicle. They produce testosterone in the presence of luteinizing hormone (LH).
