8 0

Answer:

(b)-osmosis

Explanation:

Osmosis -

In terms of biology , it is a form of diffusion , which is linked to the cells of the body .

The process of diffusion when the molecules and the atoms move from the region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration .

This is done in the presence of a semi - permeable membrane , which allows only a certain substance or molecules to pass via it .

hence , the correct term for the given statement is (b) - osmosis .

Normal Gene:A T C AT A G G A A A AT AC
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Normal Gene: AUC  AUA  GGA AAA UAC

Mutated Gene:   AUC  ACA GGA AAU UAC

Explanation:

The transcription takes place in the nucleus. This process involve copying of DNA sequence into mRNA (messenger RNA) sequence. mRNA too consists of 4 nucleotides except the fact that in mRNA the thymine (T) is replaced by uracil (U). This involves the following steps:

  • Unwinding of DNA
  • Binding of RNA polymerase to the unwinded DNA.
  • Synthesis of RNA commonly mRNA
  • RNA elongation
  • Stop codon (UAA, UAG, UGA) initiating termination of synthesis of RNA

You want to identify dominant /recessive relationship for skin color for a new frog species that you found in the rain forest. A
noname [10]

Answer:

bright blue trait = recessive

yellow trait = dominant

Explanation:

let the letter B represent the gene for skin colour.

This means that the dominant gene is 'B' while the recessive gene is 'b'

A dominant gene is one that is exhibited phenotypically in the presence of both gene variants (heter0zygous state - Bb) while a recessive gene is only expressed phenotypically when it is in a h0m0zygous state (bb)

In order to find out the genotype of the parents, let us consider each cross one after the other.

1. A bright blue female and a bright blue male produce all blue progeny.

2. A yellow female and a yellow male produce a mix of both bright blue and yellow progeny

From statement 2, it can be deduced that the trait for yellow colour is dominant because a cross of the parents exhibiting this trait produces bright blue offsprings too, meaning that the genetic composition of the parents contains the gene that codes for yellow colour. Since these parents show a yellow colour in a heterozygous state, then the trait for yellow colour is dominant.

Therefore, the genotypes of the parents in each case include:

1. A bright blue female and a bright blue male produce all blue progeny. (bb × bb)

2. A yellow female and a yellow male produce a mix of both bright blue and yellow progeny (Bb × Bb)
