Risk of large scale production:
1. With an increase in production, there can become managerial problems. Workers can become lax, making of decisions become difficult and communication between workers become hard.
2. A large scale operation, needs technical tools like machines. Finance to buy machines can become a problem and hamper growth.
Risk of Genetically modified plants
1. They can become contaminants. The cross pollinated plants and seeds can travel, and contaminate the gene pool. Thereby, threatening future generations of plants.
2. They can produce side effects. Engineered plants, can lead to development of new toxins, carcinogens and deficiencies of nutrition.
Answer:
b. di uses across a synaptic cleft from a neuron to a muscle cell.
Explanation:
A neurotransmitter is di uses across a synaptic cleft from a neuron to a muscle cell. Neurotransmitters are chemicals which enable neurotransmission. In reaction to an impulse a motor neuron axon secretes a neurotransmitter and causes the muscle fiber to contract. It is a chemical messenger which passes on the signals across the chemical synapse.
Answer: option "A" One seed develops from each ovule.
Explanation:
Ovules are the female reproductive part of the plant which is internally covered by the nucellus and integuments further helped in fertilization and development of seed.
After fertilization, ovule is the part of the plant develops into seed, after a period of time food tissue is developed inside it consisting the seed coats called integuments.
pollen grains or sperms are being transferred through the pollen tube to the embryo sacs from integuments only, which results into the fertilization and development of seed.
Answer: 1/16, or approximately 6.25% (see explanation below)
Explanation:
Answering this question requires two steps.
First, we need to figure out the probability that this couple will have a child with albinism in the first place. We know the following:
- Both parents are unaffected.
- The couple has already had one affected child.
- Albinism follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.
Let ( M = normal gene ) and ( m = mutated gene ). Since the condition is recessive, the affected child can be assumed to have a “mm” genotype. Barring the possibility of a de novo mutation (which are assumed to be rare), the affected child must have inherited one ”m” allele from each parent. Since both of them are unaffected, however, we can assume that they are both carriers (genotype “Mm”). In conclusion, 1/4 of their offspring (25%) <em>for any given pregnancy</em> may be expected to have albinism. See the resulting Punnett square:
<u> | M | m </u>
<u>M | MM | Mm </u>
<u>m | Mm | mm </u>
Note that the question asks about the probability that not one but two consecutive births result in affected children. Since it can be assumed that both events are independent (meaning: the outcome of a pregnancy does not influence the outcome of following ones), we may apply the rule of multiplication for probabilities. The final answer is therefore 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16.
