Answer:

The correct answer is C. aquaporins

Explanation:

The aquaporins can be described as integral proteins which are involved in the transportation of water. They are termed as aquaporin because each molecule of aquaporin has a pore in its centre. The adaptation of the blood cells of African lungfish depicts that the number of aquaporins decrease or increase as per the climate conditions. Hence, making the African lungfish to survive in harsh conditions.

Explain Mendel's law of segregation and how it predicts the 3:1 dominant-to-recessive phenotypic ratio among the F2 generation o
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Mendel is known as the father of genetics. He explained the law of segregation by the monohybrid cross. The monohybrid cross involves the cross of a single trait at a time.

Law of segregation explains that at the time of formation of gametes, the allele pairs get separated from the pairs of trait. The concept of dominance was also explained. The traits that express itself even in the heterozygous condition is known as dominant trait (T). The trait that can not express itself is known as recessive trait (t).

For example:

Parents TT        ×       tt.   (Laws of segregation)

Gamete   T                  t

F1 generation  Tt.

Selfing of F1 generation

Tt       ×        Tt

Offspring :   TT (tall) , Tt (tall) , Tt (tall) , tt (dwarf).

The phenotypic ratio is tall : dwarf (3 : 1)
