What does it mean that starfish are symmetrical?

Biology
1 answer:
aalyn [17]4 years ago

When something is symmetrical it means that, if you were to cut it perfectly in half, each side would be like a perfect mirror image of the other side.

Or folding the halves together would match perfectly.

I hope this helps!

En un cruce entre peces naranjas y peces grises se obtiene una generación (f1) de 50% peces grises . Realice el cruce y explique
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Uno de los progenitores es heterocigoto para color naranja (Nn) y el otro parental es homocigoto recesivo para gris (nn). Al haber una cruza entre un homocigoto recesivo y un heterocigoto, la 50% de la progenie expresa color naranja (Nn), mientras que el otro 50% expresa color gris (nn).

Explanation:

<u>Datos disponibles:</u>

  • Cruce entre peces naranjas y peces grises
  • 50% de la F1 son peces grises
  • Naranja dominante sobre gris

Podemos nombrar el alelo dominante para color naranja <em>N</em>, y al alelo recesivo  para color gris <em>n</em>.

Para que en un cruce entre dos fenotipos distintos, el 50% de la primer camada exprese uno de estos fenotipos, entonces uno de los parentales debe ser heterocigoto, mientras que el otro parental debe ser homocigoto recesivo. De esta forma 50% de la primera generación expresara uno de los fenotipos, mientras que el otro 50% expresará el otro fenotipo.

Supongamos que uno de los parentales lleva el genotipo <em>Nn</em>, y el otro parental es <em>nn</em>.

Cruce:

Parental)      Nn    x     nn

Gametas)   N    n       n    n

Fenotipos) Naranja     Gris

Cuadro de Punnett)      N           n

                            n       Nn         nn

                            n       Nn         nn

F1)  2/4 = 1/2 = 50% de la progenie tendrá genotipo heterocigoto, Nn

     2/4 = 1/2 = 50% de la progenie tendrá genotipo homocigota recesivo,    

     nn

     50% de la progenie será color naranja (Nn)

     50% de la progenie será color gris (nn)

Can someone explain the process of RNA editing?
Talja [164]
The process of RNA editing is the alteration of the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA after it has been transcribed from DNA, but before it is translated into a protein. RNA editing occurs by two distinct mechanisms:<em><u /><u>Substitution</u> <u>editing </u></em>and <u><em>Insertion/</em></u><em></em><u><em>deletion</em></u><em> <u>editing</u></em>.

<u><em>Substitution editing</em></u> is the chemical alteration of individual nucleotides. These alterations are catalyzed by enzymes that recognize a specific target sequence of nucleotides:

*Cytidine Deaminases that convert a C in the RNA to uracil.

*<em />adenosine deaminases that convert an A to inosine,which the ribosome translates as a G.<span>Thus a CAG codon</span><span> (for Gln) can be converted to a CGG codon (for Arg).

<em><u>*Insertion/deletion editing</u></em><em><u /></em><u /> is the insertion or deletion of nucleotides in an RNA.

These alterations are mediated by guide RNA molecules that base-pair as best they can with the RNA to be edited and serve as a template for the addition( or removal) in the target.</span>

what do you think will happen when i put a leaf discs saturated with a sodium bicarbonate solution and put it under a lamp ? wil
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

the leaf disk should float because bicarbonate is the source of its oxygen  for photosynthesis and it releases oxygen into the interior of the disk causing it to float.
