Ans.

In vertebrates, genes responsible for the growth and development of limbs in developing embryos are known as Hox genes (homeotic-box genes). Along with limb development, these genes include a group of genes that control the head-tail axis and body plan of developing embryo.

A single mutation in a Hox genes can lead to formation of mutated Hox protein and turn off the growth of legs in an organism.

Thus, the correct answer is 'option B). a Hox gene.'

Where do male and female gametophytes develop in gymnosperms?

Ksivusya [100]

Gynmosperms are a group of seed producing plants, where the seed are grown on either the leaves (such as a ginko), or scales (such as a pinecone), and gametophytes are found in the same place as seeds, just in a different phase (2 ametes come together to make a seed)

Single Strand Binding Proteins are responsible for:

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

A. keeping the strands separated during replication

Explanation:

Prior to the process of DNA replication, the double-stranded DNA must first be separated into single strands by an enzyme called DNA helicase. This is done so that each DNA strand can serve as template for the synthesis of another.

After the unwinding and separation, the single strands still need to be kept apart during the synthesis of new nucleotides by DNA polymerase. This role of keeping the strands separated during replication is carried out by SINGLE STRAND BINDING PROTEINS.
