To control the crossing of traits. He wanted to make sure that certain variables in his experiments remained unchanged. If they had changed, the experiment would have to be scraped and redone.

Answer:

The correct answer is "to control the crossing of the traits to maintain a pure strain".

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel is considered the father of genetics for his studies of  inheritance in pea plants. Mendel studied how the pea plant's traits are transferred trough generations by cross-pollination. However, in nature pea plants are usually reproduced by self-pollination at which the progeny is produced by a single plant. Mendel prevented his plants from self-pollinating to control the crossing of the traits to maintain a pure strain. By doing so, Mendel assured that the only reproducing method that he was studying was cross-pollination.

A researcher genetically engineers a mouse strain by deleting the mouse lyst gene and replacing it with the polar bear lyst gene
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The transgenic mouse must present fur without pigmentation, or with reduced pigmentation.

Explanation:

As seen in the question above, a group of scientists genetically engineers a mouse strain by deleting the mouse lyst gene and replacing it with the polar bear lyst gene. This will modify the genotype of the mice making them transgenic mice different from ordinary mice.

As you may already know, polar bears have pigment-free fur, for that reason, these animals have white fur, allowing them to camouflage themselves in the environment in which they live.

When the genes of these bears are not added to the genome of a mouse, we can expect the mouse fur to change, appearing without any type of pigmentation, becoming totally white, or, appearing lighter than normal.

What type of body shape and tail shape do the triggerfish and hawkfish have? select one:
Dima020 [189]
Triggerfish and hawks fish. They have depressed body shape and their tail is diphycercal. Their tail shape gives them manoeuvrability and their body shape allows them to fit into small places on the reefs which makes them good for adaptations.
Shark fish; they have fusiform body shape and heterocercal tail shape and their good adaptation help them to be top predators and need speed to hunt down their animal.
Stingray; they have depressed body shape and diphycercal tail shape. Their good adaptation helps them to timid fish who feed and hide along the bottom.

Explain how DNA is semiconservation
balandron [24]
According to the semiconservative replication model, which is illustrated in Figure 1, the two original DNA strands (i.e., the two complementary halves of the double helix) separate during replication; each strand then serves as a template for a new DNA strand
