Answer:

The correct answer is d. eukaryotes almost always produce polycistronic mRNA

Explanation:

mRNA can be polycistronic or monocistronic. A monocistronic mRNA contains the information of one gene only so a monocistronic mRNA code only one protein at a time but a polycistronic mRNA can code for multiple proteins at a time.

In eukaryotes, one transcriptional unit carries the information of only one protein so eukaryotes produce monocistronic mRNA but some eukaryotes are capable of having polycistronic mRNA.

In prokaryotes, many genes are transcribed as a unit to produce multiple proteins so prokaryotes produce polycistronic mRNA. Therefore the statement which is not true is d. eukaryotes almost always produce polycistronic mRNA.

If two traits among flowers, dwarfism and stem color, were on the same pair of chromosomes, would you expect an F2 generation of

sammy [17]

Answer:

Yes, there will still be a chance for the F2 generation to have a ratio 9:3:3:1

Explanation:

According to Mendel's law of segregation, alleles of a gene pair separate at the time of game formation.

According to the Law of independence, the alleles sort independently into the gametes.

Even if the two traits under study are located on the same chromosome, they will segregate and assort independently at the time of gamete formation.

Also, at the time of meiosis, one of the alleles will arise from each parent hence there will still be a chance for the F2 generation to have a 9:3:3:1 ratio.
