Seymour Benzer used phage T4 mutants, Experimental evidence that a gene is a linear sequence of nucleotide pairs. Some regions of chromosomes have "hot spots" for mutations. Benzer's experimental approach to fine structure mapping of the rII locus.  Generated 1612 spontaneous point mutations and several deletions in rII locus identified two complementation groups, rIIA and rIIB.  Mapped locations of deletions relative to each other using recombination.  Mapped locations of point mutations relative to the deletions. Tested for recombination between all point mutations within the same complementation group.

Answer:

We could feed them with another type of food free of silver salts.

Explanation:

When talking about a phenocopy, we are referring to individuals who genotypically should be expressing a determined phenotype, but due to environmental influence, they express another phenotype. This is a non-inheritable phenotype, so it is not considered a mutation.

If we grow thy flies feeding them another type of food that does not include silver salts, and let them mate and reproduce, they will express the real phenotype, because they will not be influenced by the food. In the following generation, there will be dark individuals carrying the dominant allele, and yellow individuals, with the recessive genotype.

The ____________ functions as a gateway through which chemicals and small particles, such as ____________ enter or leave the cel
Vilka [71]

Answer: cell membrane

such as water, micro-organism

physical process

simple diffusion, osmosis and filtration

such as potasssium permaganate in water,urea a liver waste diffuses from the body and the kidney help in filtering it out

physiological processs

active transport, phagocytosis and pinocytosis

such as soduim-potassium pump, exocytosis

Explanation:  transportation in and out of cell is done in different ways listed above but a barrier to this movement is the cell membrane which is an outer covering of the cell. it protect the cell and only some materials can penetrate the cell membrane e.g micro-organism, water e.t.c. the various physical and physiological processes are the various ways substance  cna be liquid, solid or gas are transported within or outside the  cell e.g food

If a swimmer cuts his foot on a seashell while wading in the ocean and bleeds into the seawater, his erythrocytes will shrink. W
Tom [10]

Answer:A) The ocean is hypertonic to the erythrocytes.

Explanation:cells shrink when placed in an hypertonic solution.

This shrinkage occurs does to the movement of water out of the cell and through the cell membrane.this phenomenon is called plasmolysis.

The movement of water out of this cell occurs through osmosis.osmosis is the movement of water from a region of high concentration of solute to a region of low concentration of solute, through a semi-permeable membrane.

In this case,sea water has a higher concentration of solute (hypertonic) and the blood cells has a lower concentration(hypotonic) .the cell membrane serves as the semi-permeable membrane and and a result water moves out of the cell

12345 [234]

Answer:

d. xylem and phloem

Explanation: plants possess vascular bundles.these are bundles which includes xylem and phloem tissues and transport useful substances to various plant cells.

New Xylem and phloem are formed from the vascular cambium which divides into new cells .

Xylem and phloem are thin and slender with pipe-like structure.

The xylem transports water and dissolved nutrients to the cells where they are needed.

The phloem transports the product of photosynthesis (sugar) to parts what they are used up or stored .

Xylem cells are dead and consists in vessels,trachieds and xylem parenchyma.

Phloem cells are dead and consists in sieves cell, companion cells, phloem parenchyma and phloem fibres.
