The distribution of melanosomes in cells is tightly regulated in animals that rapidly change color. dark-colored cells have mela

nosomes scattered throughout the cytoplasm while light-colored cells have them aggregated near the nucleus. how could cells use microtubules and motor proteins to change the distribution of melanosomes?

Microtubules originate on the centre of the cell taking the positive end to the periphery of the cell, while the negative end remains turned to the centre of the cell. The melanosomes move along these microtubules using motor proteins desiganted kinesins and dyneins. The kinesins are responsible for moving the melanosomes to the positive end of the microtubule (periphery of the cell) generating dark-colored cells, whereas dyneins move the melanosomes to the negative end of the microtubule (centre of the cell) generating light-colored cells.

Dry heat will always be a lower temperature than moist hea

Advantages of Dry Heat sterilization

Reliable, nontoxic.

Low cost and is easy to install.

As the instrument remains dry after sterilization, there are no chances of corrosion.

Not harmful to the environment.

Disadvantages of the Dry Heat Sterilization

It requires more time for sterilization.

Exposure to the higher temperature may be harmful to the instrument.

Round (R) seed shape is dominant to wrinkled (r) seed shape in pea plants. If an RR plant is crossed with an rr plant, what is t
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. All round seeds

Explanation:

If an RR plant is crossed with an rr plant than all the phenotype will produce round seed and the frequency of the Round seed plant to wrinkled seed plant would be 4:0.

                       R     R

                  r   Rr    Rr

                  r   Rr    Rr

So all the phenotypes will be heterozygous dominant for the round seed which means that all phenotypes will have a single dominant allele for round seed which is enough to express round seeds in the phenotypes.
