Answer:
C. 1/2
Explanation:
Please see the attached Punnett square and probability.
1/2 = 2/4
Answer:
example of active transport is the sodium-potassium pump, which moves sodium ions to the outside of the cell and potassium ions to the inside of the cell.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Conjugation is one of the processes employed by bacteria cells for genetic exchange. It involves the transfer of genetic material from one bacterium (donor) to another bacterium (recepient) via direct contact.
The donor bacterium carries a DNA sequence called Fertility factor or F-factor, which allows it to synthesize a tube-like stucture known as pilus (plural - pili). The pili that performs this function in bacteria is called CONJUGATE PILI. The pilus draws the mating pair (donor& recepient cell) close to each other to form a wall-wall contact triggering the formation of a mating bridge. This bridge enables the transfer of genetic material, usually in form of a plasmid (a small circular piece of DNA capable of replication independently of the bacterial chromosome).
In bacterial conjugation, the process involves a small portion of the genome of the donor cell getting inculcated into the complete genome of the recepient cell. Hence, conjugation is of immense importance to bacteria, as it is an avenue to confer certain genes e.g. antibiotic-resistant genes.
Answer:
Axon hillock
Explanation:
Neuron or nerve cell is excitable cell of the nervous system which consists of cell body or soma (karyon), dendrites and an axon. Dendrites are short, numerous filaments responsible for the signal receiving. On the other hand, axon is long ant it originates form the cell body from the swelling called axon hillock. At the end of an axon there are axon terminals from which neuron can transmit a signal another cell.
Answer:
D. Sequence of nucleotides in the DNA of the cell.
Explanation:
Proteins are a type of biomolecules in living systems responsible for many phenotypic characteristics in organisms. Proteins are synthesized by a process called gene expression, which encompasses transcription and translation.
Using the central dogma of biology to trace, DNA (genes) contains information that encodes the production of proteins in the body. Therefore, the sequence of nucleotide bases in the DNA of a cell determines the sequence of mRNA that will be produced during transcription and ultimately, determines the specific type of proteins (amino acid chain) that will be produced in a cell during translation.
