Nucleotide Structure.

The basic building block of DNA is the nucleotide.

The nucleotide in DNA consists of a sugar (deoxyribose),

one of four bases

(cytosine (C),

thymine (T),

adenine (A),

guanine (G)),

and a phosphate.

Cytosine and thymine are pyrimidine bases, while adenine and guanine are purine bases.

Why is soil erosion important to agriculture?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Soil erosion causes siltation in rivers, dams, etc. In some areas, huge river deltas are formed (such as River Nile delta) because of soil erosion. Such places are good for agriculture but not good for urbanization. However, some people do not care about it, they just want to construct buildings on alluvium type soils.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) Plants</em>

Explanation:

Option A is false because the cell cannot be an animal cell. This is because an animal cell does not possess a cell wall.

Option B is false because the cell cannot be a bacterial cell. This is because a bacterial cell does not have a nucleus. Their genetic material is dispersed inside the cytoplasm.

Option C is correct because all the organelles, a cytoskeleton, mitochondrion, nucleus, cell wall, and ribosomes, are present inside the plant cells.

Suppose the human trait for hair type is controlled by a simple dominant and recessive relationship at one locus. Curly hair, C,
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

A) The frequency of the dominant allele, C = 0.4376

B) frequency of the heterozygous genotype, Cc = 0.2461

Explanation:

Given -

Curly hair, C, is the dominant allele, and straight hair, c, is the recessive allele

Number of students with curly hair is 37

Thus frequency of genotype "CC"

= q^{2} = \frac{37}{117} \\= 0.3162

Thus, frequency of allele "q"

= \sqrt{0.3162} \\= 0.5623

As per Hardy Weinberg's first  equation-

p+q=1

Substituting the value of q, we get -

p+0.5623=1\\p= 0.4376

As per Hardy Weinberg's second equation -

p^2+q^2+2pq=1\\

Substituting the values of "p" and "q" we get -

0.4376^{2} + 0.3162+2pq = 1\\2pq = 0.2461\\

Hence,

A) The frequency of the dominant allele, C = 0.4376

B) frequency of the heterozygous genotype, Cc = 0.2461
