A group of six students has taken samples of their own cheek cells, purified the DNA, and used a restriction enzyme known to cut

at zero, one, or two sites in a particular gene of interest.
Analysis of the data obtained shows that two students each have two fragments, two students each have three fragments, and two students each have one only. What does this demonstrate?
A. The two students who have two fragments have two restriction sites within this gene.
B. Each of these students is heterozygous for this gene.
C. The students with three fragments are said to have "fragile sites."
D. The two students who have two fragments have one restriction site in this region.
E. Each pair of students has a different gene for this function.

Answer:

D. The two students who have two fragments have one restriction site in this region.

Explanation:

The DNA samples from the cheek cells were subjected to digestion with a restriction enzyme. This enzyme is an endonuclease and cuts the DNA at a specific sequence only. This sequence is called a restriction site. If the restriction site is not present in the sample DNA, the restriction enzyme cannot cut it. The presence of one restriction site in the sample DNA would cut it into two DNA fragments.

Similarly, the presence of two restriction sites in each DNA molecule would obtain a total of three DNA fragments per DNA molecule.

What is the significance of the fact that the human trachea is reinforced with cartilage rings?
White raven [17]

Answer:

Cartilage rings of trachea have protective role

Explanation:

Trachea is a tube, part of the respiratory system, which allows the passage of the air: from larynx to lungs (primary bronchi). It is enveloped with cartilage rings that prevent collapse of the trachea when there is no air. The cartilage "rings" are C-shaped, except one full ring-shaped - the cricoid cartilage which attaches trachea to the larynx.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer: True

Explanation:

The statement on Codominance is TRUE, while the one on incomplete dominance is also TRYE. So, the whole statement is TRUE.

In codominance, both phenotypes are expressed in homozygotes OR heterozygotes; but in incomplete dominance, the heterozygous exhibit a phenotype that is intermediate OR different from the two homozygotes.

So, TRUE is the answer
