Answer:

The correct answer would be B). 75% purple, 25% white.

In Mendelian genetics, the cross between two heterozygous parents results in the production of offspring with a genotypic ratio of 1:2:1. They have a phenotypic ratio of 3 (dominant) : 1 (recessive).

The same can be explained with the help of Punnett square. Let us assume P (dominant) and p (recessive) be the alleles of the gene responsible for the color of flowers in a plant.

The genotype of parents would be Pp.

The cross would produce offspring with three possible genotype combinations which are PP, Pp, and pp in 1:2:1.

Plant with PP and Pp genotype will produce purple flowers and plant with pp genotype will produce white flowers.

Thus, 75% (3 out of 4) would purple-flowered plants and 25% (1 out of 4) would be a white-flowered plant.

Pp><Pp
= PP (purple homozygous)
2Pp (purple heterozygous)
pp (white)

purple= 3/4 . 100%
=75%
white=1/4 . 100%
= 25%

answer: b

Density is mass per unit of volume. Which pair of lab instruments would a student use to measure the density of seawater?
never [62]
<span>Unfortunately, we are not given with the choices in which we could have chosen our answers from. However, in order to determine the mass of an object, we use the balance or the weighing scale. Also, for the volume of the water by graduated cylinder. Then, we divide the mass by the volume. </span>

If cells in the process of dividing are subjected to colchicine, a drug that interferes with the formation of the spindle appara
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Colchicine inhibits the formation of microtubules by inhibiting tubulin, a protein required for microtubule synthesis. Microtubules in the form of spindle fibers during cell division pull the DNA from the center of the mother cell into the new daughter cells. If microtubules are not formed DNA will not move into new cells. Hence new cell formation will be inhibited in the metaphase stage. Thus the correct answer is option D.

Which type of RNA functions as a carrier of the genetic code?
gayaneshka [121]

All forms of RNA are intermediate molecules that are fabricated within DNA to perform cellular functions.

mRNA - messenger RNA carries selected portions of DNA used to fabricate polypeptides used to fabricate amino acids for protein.

tRNA - transfer RNA is comprised of select genetic code and transfers amino acids to ribosomes for assembly

rRNA - ribosomal RNA is comprised of select genetic code and makes the ribosomes

RNA is highly mutatable, highly reactive, non-reproductive, and highly specialized metabolically, and consequently totally unsuitable for consideration of any pre-DNA senario being posited for the origin of life.
