Answer choices:
- A frame shift mutation in the X chromosome of a cheek cell
- A chromosomal mutation in the Y chromosome of a kidney cell
- A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
- A substitution mutation in the third chromosome of a uterus cell
Answers:
A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
Explanation:
Only mutations that affect the germ line are passed on to the next generation. Therefore, only mutations in the egg and sperm of an individual have the potential to affect the next generation.
Mutations in cheek cells, kidney cells, and uterus cells might cause cell death or cancer. This genetic material is not passed on to the next generation, only the egg and sperm contribute this material. Therefore, only mutations here will affect the generation.
Alternative energy sources are those that do not deplete natural resources and do not harm the environment.
Options A, B, and C are all fossil fuels, which we know can be depleted and harm the environment.
The only valid option here is D, Geothermal energy.
Geothermal energy is both renewable and environmentally friendly.
Answer:
Option (I) and (IV).
Explanation:
Fatty acids may be defined as the carboxylic acid that contains the long aliphatic chain. Fats are generally of two types - saturated fatty acid and unsaturated fatty acid.
The fatty acids are generally synthesized in the two carbon units. This helps in the proper synthesis of fat. The fatty acids that are most common in plants and animals are palmittic acid or the fats that contain C16 and C18 species predominate.
Thus, the correct answer is option (I) and (IV).
Answer:
40mm
Explanation:
each AABBCCDDEE = 55
each will contribute 55/5 = 11
thus, AaBBCcDDEe will be 5.5 + 11 + 5.5 +11 + 5.5 = 38.5, approx. 40mm
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Icebergs form when chunks of ice break off from glaciers
