Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Genes are passed on from generation to generation. When a male and a female produce an offspring, the offspring would get half of their genes from their mother, and the other half from their father.So your parents get half of their genes from their parents, (which in this case, are your grandparents) and they pass them on to you. Unlike your parents, you get traits from both sides of your family, some from your mother's side and some from your father's side.

This is why you share similar traits as your grandparents and at the same time,there is also a chance that you also share some (of course not all) traits with your direct cousins, because they also share some traits to your grandparents.

Answer: Kidney

Explanation:

Kidney is a structure that is located toward the dorsal side of the body, lateral and superior to the hamstring but inferior to the heart.

The kidneys are a pair of bean shaped organs that are located at the downward part of the rib cage. The body of humans consists of two kidneys one kidney on each side of the spine and they're responsible for the filtering of excess water, waste products, and other impurities out of the human body.

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

e. Red segregated from brown in meiosis I, and straight segregated from curled in meiosis I.

Explanation:

A cross between two flies heterozygous for both genes produced an offspring with the phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. This ratio is expected according to Mendel's law of independent assortment, which states that alleles of the same gene assort independently during gamete formation.

Before meiosis starts in flies, a single diploid cell duplicates its DNA, so each chromosome has 2 sister chromatids that contain the same information.

During meiosis I, the homologous chromosomes separate into two daughter cells. The chromosome number is reduced by half, but each chromosome has two sister chromatids.
During meiosis II, the sister chromatids separate and each daughter cell from meiosis I divides into two new daughter cells (to get the total of 4 haploid cells).

In a heterozygous fly, each homologous chromosome contains a different allele, and the sister chromatids are copies that carry the same allele. For that reason, both traits were segregated during meiosis I.

What is the point at which DNA strand is unzipped so that it can form new complimentary strands?

Sloan [31]

DNA is unzipped by helicase at the origin of replication. There are several origins of replications in eukaryotic DNA replication, while only one in prokaryotic replication.

Foreshadowing means

Readme [11.4K]

Foreshadowing means B. hinting at things that will occur later. Sometimes authors may introduce a symbol or a character so as to show the readers that something awaits them in the following chapters, but he or she will not reveal immediately what that actually is. The other examples don't really make any sense and do not refer to what foreshadowing actually is.
