Brainstorming or CSET. C is your claim. S is your statement. E is your evidence. T is your tie-in.
Answer:
a. S represents allele for short hair while s represents allele for long hair.
b. Ss (male) × ss (female)
c. 50% Ss, 50% ss
d. 3 long hair (ss), 3 short hair (Ss)
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s).
a. Letter "S" will represent the allele for short hair while letter "s" will represent the allele for long hair.
b. According to this question, a heterozygous male is crossed with a long-haired female. The genotype of the male guinea pig is "Ss" while that of the female is "ss". (see attachment for the punnet square)
c. The possible genotypes of the offsprings in this cross are: Ss and ss, each carrying 50% each as they are produced in a ½ Ss: ½ ss.
d. Since 50% of the offsprings will be both short haired and long haired, If they have six babies, 3 of them will be short-haired while 3 of them will also be long-haired.
Answer:
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck
Explanation:
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was a French biologist which developed the first theory to understand how species change (evolve) over time. This evolutionary concept was published under the name of 'Theory of the Transmutation of Species' in the early 19th century. Subsequently, Darwin published his famous and widely accepted evolutionary theory in the book 'On the Origin of Species' (1859).
Answer:
Electron transport chain
Explanation:
Cellular respiration is the process whereby glucose is broken down in the cell to yield energy in form of ATP. This process, which is important to the metabolic functioning of every organism, occurs in three major stages namely: glycolysis, kreb's cycle and electron transport chain (ETC).
According to this question, a stage of respiration is described as follows:
- Two pyruvate molecules undergo a chemical reaction, combining with coenzyme A to form two acetyl-CoA molecules.
- Two carbon dioxide molecules and two NADH molecules are formed as a result of this process.
The process depicted above is KREB'S CYCLE of cellular respiration, hence, the stage of respiration that immediately follows the process is called ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN (ETC).
