Classify each of the following as homozygous dominant, heterozygous, or homozygous recessive.

1 answer:

7 0

First, we will elaborate the terms that are being used.

Heterozygous:
This means that the organism has a set of alleles which are different from one another. One copy may be for the dominant trait and the other for the recessive one.

Homozygous:
The organism has two copies of the same allele

Dominant:
An allele that will express itself even if only one copy of it is present. These are usually represented by capital letters.

Recessive:
An allele that requires both copies to be expressed. These are usually represented by lower-case letters.

A: Heterozygous

B: homozygous recessive

C: Homozygous dominant

D: Homozygous recessive

E: Homozygous dominant

Define each of the following terms and explain how each of them can benefit the plant.

Aneli [31]

Answer:

definition with benefit is given below of

1st. gravitropism

2nd. phototropism

3rd. thigmotropism

4th. photoperiod

Explanation:

1st is gravitropism

gravitropism is process in which plant grow in the direction that gravity act

It is also called geotropism

and

Gravitropism is important for plants because it directs the roots to grow in the downward direction that is important for obtaining nutrients

2nd is phototropism

phototropism is the process in which plant growth directed by the light

and

we know plants need light to carry out photosynthesis

so Phototropism direct the growth of the stem and branch toward sunlight

3rd is thigmotropism

thigmotropism is the directional change in growth of plant in response to a touch stimulus

and

thigmotropism is especially important for climbing plant that is use support to climb up

4th is photoperiod

photoperiod is the physiological change in organism in the response to length of the day and night

and

it play important role to determining the physiological developmental process in the plant such as budding and tuberization

Much like a ball of yarn is made of strands of strings, this x- shaped structure is made of what?

kari74 [83]

Answer:

The X-shaped structure is made of strands of DNA.

Explanation:

The chromosomes are thread-like structures located in the nucleus of each cell in the body. In a human cell, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes found in the nucleus. Each chromosome is made up of strands of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones which gives support to its structure.

The chromosomes are X-shaped and are observed only in a cell undergoing division by mitosis or meiosis. Each of these X-shaped chromosomes consists of two identical sister chromatids. The sister chromatids are connected to each other by a region of the chromosome called the centromere. The centromere are located around the depression point of the chromosome which divides the sister chromatids into two regions: long arm called the q arm and a shorter arm called the p arm. During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to this region, and they eventually pull the sister chromatids apart to form two separate chromosomes, one for each daughter cell.

how would you distinguish between an independant variable,dependant variable,constants,and a control group?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Independent Variable is what you change in an experiment. A Dependent Variable is what you’re trying to find out. Constants are what you keep that same. Control Group is the standards to which comparisons are made.
