Answer:
Streak Test
Explanation:
A streak test is used by geologists to help determine the powdered color of a mineral. They usually use a white or black plate, scrape a sample of the mineral onto the plate, and voila!
P.S. I also had a question like this on a test before.
That's correct - it's a square where on one axis, the paternal allele (allele = one of the possible forms of the same gene), and on another the maternal allele is listed. Often, it's also indicated whether an allele is recessive or dominant.
Then, in the table that results, all the possible "combinations" of allele between the paternal and maternal party are created. If you count how often a certain combination appears, it indicates the likelihood of that combination.
See the picture (though it is directly from Wikipedia, please note). The likelihood of BB is 25%, of Bb is 50%, and of bb 25%.
Answer:
You should probably use the third picture to support that your hypothesis was incorrect.
Explanation:
I do not know what your project was, but it seems as though you were able to gather that the state of matter is liquid throughout the experiemnt using the last picture. If your hypothesis was that the state of matter would change, then the third picture would show that this is wrong, as it remains in a liquid state.
Answer:
Cystic fibrosis mutation is recessive to normal allele because only one functional or normal allele is enough to produce a functional protein. So, if mutation is present in one allele then also, a normal protein can be made from normal allele. The presence of normal protein prevents the expression of disease.
In addition, mutated allele only results in the loss of function of protein which can be compensated by the expression of normal allele. It does not add any toxic effect to the protein. Consequently, the disease is inherited in autosomal recessive fashion.
In contrast, Huntington mutation not only alters the structure of the functional protein but also adds toxicity to it. The altered protein is enable to interact with 100s of other proteins and inhibit or decrease their function. So, if only one allele is present then also, the mutated protein will be produced and it will result in the phenotype. Consequently, it is inherited as autosomal dominant fashion.
