What role would mitosis play in the body of an adult animal?

Biology

natulia [17]3 years ago
8 0
The answer to this question would be: <span>replacement of old and damaged cells</span>

The mitosis division will result in two cell that identical to the parent. Cell that undergoes mitosis division regularly called the labile cell. One of the labile cell is skin that will continuously divide to replace the dead skin cell. Therefore mitosis is used to replace old or damaged cell so the body can keep its function.

What is the main thing that drives water to move up from roots through the stem or trunk and to the leaves in plants?.
Sergio039 [100]

As water molecules from plant leaves evaporate, they attract the water molecules that are still present in the plant, aiding in the movement of water from the roots up through the stems. The water in a plant is transported from the bottom to the top by the combined effects of transpiration and capillary action.

  • Water molecules ascend up the cellulose tubes from the roots to the leaves because they tend to cling together (cohesion) and stick to the walls of tubes (adhesion). The water from the leaves then evaporates, aiding in the root system's ability to absorb additional water. We call this mechanism capillary action.
  • Water and minerals travel upward from the roots through the xylem due to a negative water potential gradient created by the evaporation of mesophyll cells in the leaves. Small perforations between vessel elements must be made to reduce gas bubbles in the xylem since they can obstruct water flow in the plant.

How do multiple alleles provide many different phenotypes for a trait
saul85 [17]
There are dominant and recessive alleles. when one allele from each parent combine, there are a couple different possibilities for traits. for example, whenever a parent gives off a dominant allele, you will automatically have that trait because it would have combined with another dominant allele, or it would have overpowered the other recessive alelle. you cam find these different combos by using a punnet square. but also, some traits, such as eyecolor, are determined by incomplete dominance, when the colors of your parents in their greenness combine in to a new color. or, you can have codominance when you have one of each eyecolor of your parents.

In Andalusian fowl, B is the gene for black plumage (head feathers) and B' (pronounced "B prime") is the gene for white plumage.
svet-max [94.6K]

INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE INHERITANCE:

<span>5.  In Andalusian fowl, B is the gene for black plumage (head feathers) and B' (pronounced "B prime") is the gene for white plumage.  These genes, however, show incomplete dominance.  The heterozygous (BB') condition results in blue plumage.  List the genotypic and phenotypic ratios expected from the following crosses:  a) black x blue  b) blue x blue  c) blue x white</span>

<span>6. </span><span>In snapdragons, petal color is determined by a single gene locus with two alleles making the "red" allele (R) incompletely dominant to the "white" allele (r).  Heterozygotes have petals, which are neither red nor white, but pink.  a) If a true-breeding red flower is pollinated with pollen from a white flower: What fraction of the seeds (F1 generation) would be expected to produce red-flowered plants?  What fraction of the gametes produced by the F1 plants would be expected to bear the R allele?  b) If two pink flowered plants are crossed, what genotypic and phenotypic ratios are expected among the offspring (F1 generation)?</span>
