What are the genotypes of predicted homozygous offspring?

Biology
2 answers:
Anestetic [448]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The genotypes of a homozygous offspring are "AA" and "aa".

Explanation:

When we say that an individual is homozygous for a particular trait, we are saying that he has in his genotype two equal alleles for that trait. Since each cell has two equal alleles, all gametes of a homozygous individual are equal.

Considering, for example, the allele "A" to indicate melanin production in humans and the allele "a" to indicate lack of production, we can represent homozygous individuals as AA or aa. This means that we have recessive homozygotes (aa) and dominant homozygotes (AA). In this case the dominant homozygotes are capable of producing melanin while the recessive ones are albino.

The genotypes of predicted homozygous offspring will either be homozygous dominant (eg BB) with a dominant allele passed on by each parent or homozygous recessive (eg bb) with a recessive allele passed on by each parent.

Which of the following is a type of tissue in plants that is dead at maturity?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

The plant tissues are composed of three types of cells: parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma.

The parenchyma and collenchyma remain alive at their maturity but sclerenchyma loses their protoplasm and become dead. These cells deposit lignin in their secondary walls and form hard tissues of the plant-like hard shell of a coconut. Sclerenchyma provides mechanical strength to the plant.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Last week, you looked at both animal & plant cells. Both of these cells were ______. This week, you'll be looking at a diffe
Inga [223]

Answer:

"Last week, you looked at both animal & plant cells. Both of these cells were diploid somatic eukaryotic. This week, you'll be looking at a different, but very important, type of cell: sexual cells. Two gametes, one from a female & one from a male, merge during the process of fecundation/fertilization to form a zygote. All in the organism will develop from this initial diploid cell".

Explanation:  

There are two principal types of cells in the organism: Somatic cells that can not form any gametes, and germ cells that are in charge of gamete production. Both somatic cells and germinal cells will end their cycle dividing and becoming two daughter cells with the same genetic dotation after mitosis.

Somatic cells are any cell in the body excepting from sperm and egg cells. These somatic cells are diploid, they contain two chromosomes sets, each one inherited from each parental. Mutations in somatic cells affect the individual but the progeny does not inherit them. In this sense, these cells do not contribute to anything to inheritance terms through genetics.

Germ cells are the reproductive diploid cells, and the sexual organs (testes and ovaries) are the ones that produce them. These cells might suffer mitosis to form more sexual cells, and then a few of them suffer meiosis giving place to haploid gametes called sperm and egg cells through the gametogenesis process. Each germ cell produces 4 haploid gametes after meiosis.  

Gametes´destiny is to merge in the process of fecundation, during which a new diploid cell called zygote emerges through fertilization. The zygote is a complete cell from the structural point of view that suffer successive mitosis to form the new organism.

What does pH measure?
kogti [31]

Answer: Answer below

Explanation: pH is a measure  of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. What the pH scale measures is basically the concentration of hydrogen and hydroxyl atoms in a solution. So, the last option is the answer. Another thing to keep in mind is solutions with a pH under 7 are acidic, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, and solutions with a pH over 7 are alkaline or considered a base. I hope this helped! Good luck:)

Drag each label to the correct location on the diagram.
algol13

Diagram found elsewhere attached

Answer:

Clockwise from bottom

3. formation of mRNA in the nucleus

6. secretion of hormone  by tissue

4. initiation of DNA  replication because  of a signal given  by the hormone

2. synthesis of protein  molecule by mRNA  and tRNA

1. secretion of protein  by the cell

5. binding of the  hormone molecule  with its receptor  of the cell

Explanation:

The tissue in the top left releases a hormone. For example, a steroid hormone such as estrogen, which can impact gene expression at the level of transcription. This hormone then travels to a different cell to carry out its function. The hormone is able to enter the cell and binds receptors which recognise it. In this case, these receptors are present in the nuclear envelope. When the hormone has bound the receptor, it initiates a signalling cascade that the cell responds to.

In this case, the effect of the signal from the hormone is to initiate DNA replication. This is a common effect of hormones such as growth factors that signal the cells to proliferate.

The initiation of the signalling can  also affect how genes are expressed. In this case, an mRNA is produced in the nucleus, which is created as a result of transcription. This mRNA molecule then moves to the cytoplasm, where it becomes translated into a polypeptide sequence at a ribosome, with the help from transfer RNAs (tRNAs).

This polypeptide forms a mature protein by progressive folding and potential modifications, and is released by the cell to perform its functions.
