Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus, whereas prokaryotic cells do not. In eukaryotes, the nucleus is just one of numerous membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotes, on the other hand, lack organelles that are attached to the membrane.
A carrier of a genetic disorder who does not show symptoms is most likely to be heterozygous for the trait and able to transmit it to offspring. This particular individual has inherited a recessive allele for a genetic trait or mutation but does not display that trait or show symptoms of the disease. They are referred to as genetic carriers. The chance of two carriers having an offspring with the disease or genetic disorder is 25%
Answer:
It takes up carbon through physical and biological processes at the ocean surface, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere dessolves in the water
Answer:
The F1 progeny is completely heterozygous for the <em>loci</em> of interest since they were obtained by mating between two pure-breeding plant lines. In the next generation, the backcross progeny will have homo-zygous individuals and therefore they will be more variable, resulting from meiosis in F1 hybrids
Explanation:
An F1 resulting from the cross between two pure-breeding plant lines will produce all hybrid individuals, all of them genetically (and phenotypically) identical. Meiosis in F1 hybrids is well known to produce homo-zygous genotypes and thus increases genetic diversity in progeny. For instance, for a single <em>locus</em>, the expected ratio of genotypes obtained from crossing two heterozygous parents is 1:2:1, i.e., one homo-zigous dominant individual, two heterozygous individuals (genetically identical to the parents) and one homo-zygous recessive individual; while the expected phenotypic ratio is 3:1 (i.e., 3 dominant expressing: 1 recessive expressing).
