What is chlorophyll? Why is it green? I

Biology

jonny [76]3 years ago

Answer:

<em>Chlorophyll is a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis. It's molecule contains a magnesium atom held in a porphyrin ring. The reason that chlorophyll is green is because it absorbs other colors of light such as red and blue, so in a way the green light is reflected out since the pigment does not absorb it. Hope this helps! Have a blessed day!</em>

Chlorophyll is a part of plants that makes food like sugars and starches in order for the plant to survive. The green pigmentation that it has comes from absorbing the red and blue light hues in the surrounding areas to reflect it back as green as blue and red make green.

In the life-cycle of the malaria parasite plasmodium, where does fertilization and formation of the zygote occur?.
daser333 [38]

Fertilization and formation of the zygote occur Within the body of mosquito.

Zygote, from the Ancient Greek (zygtós), "attached, yoked," from (zygoun), "to join, to yoke," A fertilization between two gametes produces  a eukaryotic cell. The genome of a zygote, which consists of the DNA from each gamete, is what makes up a new individual creature and holds all of its genetic material.

The zygote is the first developmental stage in animals with many cells. When an egg cell and sperm cell unite to produce a new, distinct organism, a zygote is created in humans and the majority of other anisogamous species. With the aid of mitosis, the zygote can divide asexually in single-celled organisms to create identical progeny. The chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) of a Chlamydomonas zygote is inherited uniparentally from the parent with the mt+ mating type; as a result, such cells are typically uncommon. The mapping of chloroplast genetics through recombination was made possible by these uncommon biparental zygotes.

It’s easy to understand why multiple bands would be present in the lanes containing DNA that has been cut with restriction enzym
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

These bands represent different confirmation of DNA

Explanation:

pGLO DNA is a plasmid DNA that is used as a vector for genetic engineering. Plasmid DNA is found in supercoiled confirmation in vivo. The double helix forms extra twists to easily fit inside the cells. During isolation of plasmid from the cell, nicks can be introduced in the DNA due to harsh isolating methods or contamination by nuclease. As a result the supercoiled confirmation is changed into circular confirmation. It is bulkier than the supercoiled form and travels more slowly. When both DNA stands get cut at the same place, the DNA gets liner confirmation. In the end, supercoiled DNA runs the fastest on gel followed by linear DNA and then the circular DNA.

Free earlobes are dominant over attached earlobes. What is the probability that a woman with attached earlobes (homozygous reces
AVprozaik [17]
<h2>The correct answer is explained below:</h2>

Explanation:

  • According to the question, free ear lobes are dominant over attached ear lobes.
  • Let the allele for free ear lobes be represented by F.
  • Let the allele for attached ear lobes be represented by f.
  • The genotype of the homozygous recessive woman (mother) having attached ear lobes is : ff.
  • The gamete produced by the woman is: f.
  • The genotype of the heterozygous man (father) with free earlobes is: Ff.
  • The gametes produced by the man are: F and f.
  • Mating the man with the woman we get the following offspring,

                                        F                                            f

                           f           Ff                                          ff

          Phenotype      Free ear lobe                   Attached ear lobe

  • The genotype and the phenotype of the probable children obtained is represented in the Punnett square above.
  • The probability that the parents would produce children with attached ear lobes is = \frac{1}{2} .
