Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

Robert Hook was the first person who identified the presence of a cellulose type of structure in plants. He observed some small pores when he was looking at a cork using his homemade microscope. These pores appeared to be in small compartments which are commonly known as cells. These cells were found only in plants. These are considered to be the microscopic structures that are not visible with our naked eye.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).

Answer:

This statement is true

Explanation:

The genetic code is required for the production of proteins with exception of some few mitochondrial proteins. The transfer RNA (tRNA) acts as an adaptor that enables to associate a messenger RNA trinucleotide sequence (known as anticodon) with its corresponding amino acid in the polypeptididic chain. The genetic code is considered to be a biochemical system capable of revealing the information contained in the DNA in order to synthetize a protein, which has been encrypted in the form of three nucleotides (i.e., codons).

A male is heterozygous for the trait that produces freckles on the skin, and he has freckles. if he marries a woman who is also

kakasveta [241]

F- allele for freckles
f- allele without freckles

1) The man is heterozygote and has freckles, its indicating that the allele for freckles is dominant.
A cross between him and a woman who is also heterozygote: Ff x Ff
it would result in the following probabilities:
- 1/4 - homozygote with freckles: FF
- 2/4 - heterozygote with freckles: Ff
- 1/4- homozygote without freckles:ff

Their son would have a probability of 75% of being born with freckles.

2) The cross resulted in this probabilities:
- 1/4 - homozygote with freckles: FF
- 2/4 - heterozygote with freckles: Ff
- 1/4- homozygote without freckles:ff
So, the chance of being born heterozygote for this gene is 2/4, which is the same as half (50%).
