Answer:
The humble sunflower appears not quite of this earth. Its yellow crowned head sits atop its stalk like a green broomstick. Its seeds, arranged in a logarithmic spiral, are produced by tiny flowers called disc florets that emerge from the center of its head and radiate outward. But aside from being a biological marvel, the sunflower is also often in the scientific spotlight.
From understanding how new plant species emerge to studying “solar tracking,” which is how the flowers align themselves with the sun’s position in the sky, sunflowers are a darling in the field of science. However, researchers can only get so far in understanding a plant without detailed genetic knowledge. And after close to a decade, it has finally unfurled itself.An international consortium of 59 researchers who set their sights on the laborious task of sequencing and assembling the sunflower’s genome published their results in a 2017 study in Nature. This achievement will provide a genetic basis for understanding how the sunflower responds and adapts to different environments. “We are on the cusp of understanding sunflower adaptability,” says Loren Rieseberg, a leading sunflower expert at the University of British Columbia and a supervisor of this study.
With its genome assembled, scientists are hopeful for the next phase of the sunflower’s scientific career: as a “model crop” for studying climate adaptability in plants. This task is more complex and urgent now than ever. Climate change, according to a paper in the Annals of Botany, “will influence all aspects of plant biology over the coming decades,” posing a threat to crops and wild plants alike.
The significance of the spore formation during the reproductive cycle of the bacterium is that, it provide a defensive strategy against hostile and unfavorable conditions. The spore formation allows the bacterium to reproduce and spread even when the conditions are not favorable. The spore formation also make it possible for the bacterium to remain dormant over a long period of time during unfavorable conditions, waiting for the right conditions to become active again.
Answer: Environmental racism
Explanation:
Environmental racism is the process whereby, communities with poorer people and also has no political backup are been expose or experience unjust and disproportionately heavy exposure of poor and toxic chemicals, contaminated air and water, unsafe workplaces, and other environmental hazrd. Environmental racism is highly associated with factors that link poverty to poor health, including inadequate access to medical and preventive care, lack of safe play spaces for children, lack of access to healthful foods, absence of good jobs, crime, and violence.
Assuming the white phenotype is recessive. white: gg
I think the gray mouse is Gg because the offspring were pretty equally distributed in terms of color. See the punnet square below.
g g
G| Gg Gg
g| gg gg
If the Gray phenotype is recessive, then gray: ww but only if white is Ww because its about 50% chance for both.
Answer:
Apoptosis of the infected cell.
Explanation:
Lytic and lysogenic are the two different types of viral life cycle. In the lysogenic part of life cycle the virus remain in the latent stage. In this stage, the genetic material of the virus gets attached with the host genetic material and gets replicated with the host genome. This stage is called prophase stage.
In lytic part, the viral gene transcribe and produce viral protein from which new phage particles are formed which do apoptosis of cell and gets released from the cell to infect other cells. So to be able to remain latent in the infected live cell HSV virus should shut down the apoptosis process of the infected cells.
