Answer: Positive effects: Disease prevention, agriculture, transplants, pharmaceuticals
Negative: Herbicides, pesticides, mutations
Explanation:
Answer: 2.3 g cm^3
Explanation: In this case the rise in level of water is same as the volume occupied by the stone.
a) Volume occupied by the stone = 70 cm^3 – 40 cm^3= 30 cm^3
b) Density = mass/volume
= 69g/30 cm^3 = 2.3 g cm^3
Answer:
Meiosis
Explanation:
Gene recombination refers to the mixture of genes from different individuals that occurs during sexual reproduction. Gene recombination is responsible for mixing between genes, which results in genetic variation in a bacterial population.
Genetic variability in a bacterial population occurs through three types of mechanisms: transformation, conjugation and transduction. However this genetic variation does not occur through Meiosis.
Transformation is the incorporation of free DNA by the bacterial cell. Conjugation is the process of transferring DNA from one bacterium to another, involving contact between the two cells. Transduction is the transfer of genetic material between cells, mediated by bacteriophages.
Answer: The alleles of a plant that is heterozygous for seed color can be represented as Y for dominant allele for yellow seed and y for recessive allele for green seed.
Explanation: A plant that is heterozygous for seed colour has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for seed colour. If Y represents the dominant allele for yellow seed colour and y represents the recessive allele for green seed colour, therefore the plant has a genotype of Yy. A dominant allele is one that has the ability to mask the effect of a recessive allele while a recessive allele is one whose effect is masked by a dominant allele. Dominant alleles are denoted with upper cases while recessive alleles are denoted with lower cases. A plant that is heterozygous for seed colour with genotype Yy will manifest outwardly as Yellow seed colour due to the presence of the dominant allele Y.
