B

Gene flow is the transfer of genes/alleles from one population to another.

Explanation:

Gene flow adds to genetic diversity of the population into which the gene transfer occurred. In this case the pollen carries different forms of genes and alleles from the population it came from and when it cross-fertilizes with the new population, it adds to the genetic pool of the new population.

Another example of gene flow is through migration - the individuals of  from one population join another population and continue to mate randomly in the new population. The immigrants come with new alleles of genes that become amalgamated into the new population by cross-breeding.

What structure brings tRNA and mRNA together
tester [92]
Translation requires some specialized equipment. Just as you wouldn't go to play tennis without your racket and ball, so a cell couldn't translate an mRNA into a protein without two pieces of molecular gear: ribosomes and tRNAs.<span>Ribosomes provide a structure in which translation can take place. They also catalyze the reaction that links amino acids to make a new protein.</span><span>tRNAs (transfer RNAs) carry amino acids to the ribosome. They act as "bridges," matching a codon in an mRNA with the amino acid it codes for.</span>Here, we’ll take a closer look at ribosomes and tRNAs. If you're not yet familiar with RNA (which stands for ribonucleic acid), I highly recommend checking out the nucleic acids section first so you can get the most out of this article!Ribosomes: Where the translation happensTranslation takes place inside structures called ribosomes, which are made of RNA and protein. Ribosomes organize translation and catalyze the reaction that joins amino acids to make a protein chain.

Match each leukocyte to its normal percentage in a differential cell count. A. 50-70% B. 20-40% C. 2-8% D. 1-4% E. &lt; 1% basop
Vsevolod [243]

Answers:

A. 50-70% - neutrophils

B. 20-40% - Lymphocytes

C. 2-8% - monocytes

D. 1-4% - eosinophils

E. < 1% -  basophils

Explanation:

The blood differential test is used to estimate the percentage of each class of white blood cell (WBC) present in the blood and to indicate the presence of abnormal or immature cells.

The Test is Performed by taking of blood sample which is smeared onto a glass slide, then it's stained with a unique dye to indicate the class of white blood cells.

The Five class of white blood cells are

Neutrophils

Lymphocytes (B cells and T cells)

Monocytes

Eosinophils

Basophils

The different class of white blood cells are given as a percentage:

Neutrophils: 40% to 60%

Lymphocytes: 20% to 40%

Monocytes: 2% to 8%

Eosinophils: 1% to 4%

Basophils: 0.5% to 1%

Band (young neutrophil): 0% to 3%
