In clover plants, the pattern on the leaves is determined by a single gene with multiple alleles that are related in a dominance

igomit [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

a. 7

b. 7 (p1p1, p1p2, p1p3, p1p4, p1p5, etc

c. p7 is abundant

Explanation:

According the question the dominance of the big leaves is p7 > p6 >p5 >p4 >p3 >p2 >p1 where 1 represent least dominance and 7 represent most dominance

let represent the phenotype with the numbers 1 to 7 and genotype with a combination of these numbers so the genotype in respect of phenotype would be :

p7p7,p7p6, p7p5, p7p4, p7p3, p7p2, p7p1 - most dominant 7

p6p6, p6p5, p6p4, p6p3, p6p2, p6p1 - 6

p5p5, p5p4, p5p3, p5p2, p5p1 - 5

p4p4, p4p3, p4p2, p4p1 - 4

p3p3, p3p2, p3p1 - 3

p2p2, p2p1 - 2

p1p1- 1 least dominant

Thus, there are 28 different combinations or patterns of genotypes. 7 phenotypes patterns.

How can insulin deficiency lead to an increase in blood glucose concentration?

MakcuM [25]

When insulin is deficient , GLUT4 transporters are not inserted into the cell membranes , glucose is not transported into the cells and the blood glucose concentration increases.

Insulin deficiency provides more amino acid and glycerol substrates for glucose synthesis ie increased gluconeogenesis .

With a deficiency of insulin, there is both increased hepatic glucose production through increased glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis as well as decreased glucose use. The result is hyperglycemia.

During which stage of the cell cycle does the cell rest, grow, and copy DNA and organelles?

atroni [7]

The cell cycle or cell-division cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA (DNA replication) to produce two daughter cells. In bacteria, which lack a cell nucleus, the cell cycle is divided into the B, C, and D periods. The B period extends from the end of cell division to the beginning of DNA replication.
