Describe the process by which coral polyps and algae create a coral reef.
xenn [34]
Coral reefs are built by coral polyps as they secrete layers of calcium carbonate beneath their bodies.  And inside each coral poly lives single-celled algae called zooxanthellae. So basically in simplistic terms, coral polys create coral reefs and algae is in coral polys which also goes into coral reefs when they are made.

MissTica

Answer:

Explanation:

Lets start with an explanation of cancer. Cancer is the uncontrollable division of cells. It is a genetic desease that is caused by changes in the genes that control cell division.

CRISPR can be used to combat these changes and change these cancers to be benign.

If you sorted 200 flies by eye color and body color, how many whole flies out of that 200 would you expect to exhibit each of th
mafiozo [28]

9:3:3:1 is the ratio.

From the given data,

We have a 9.8 two, ratio since we have 49/5, 15/5, 18/5, and 5/5.

This ratio resembles nine a little bit, which is what we inferred from the opposition's score.

When the two relevant genes exhibit independent assortment, this is the result. Therefore, the chromosomes/genes are not connected.

We are finally getting a ratio of 9:3:3:1

In flies, two possible outcomes for the body color phenotype is black and brown.

Whereas in eye color we have white eye and red eye.

Here, white eye is recessive and red eye is dominant

<h3>What does the independent assortment law entail? </h3>
  • According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, the alleles of two or more distinct genes are independently selected into gametes.
  • In other words, an allele for one gene does not affect the allele for another gene that a gamete acquires.

<h3>Where can I find independent assortment?</h3>
  • Meiosis I of gamete production, when homologous pairs line up in random orientations at the center of the cell as they prepare to split, provides the physical foundation for the law of independent assortment.

a bacterium has a faulty lac operon in which there is a structural defect in the operator. in this bacterium:
wariber [46]

A bacterium has a faulty lac operon in which there is a structural defect in the operator. In this bacterium there is a structural problem with a segment of DNA that binds a repressor.

  • A protein known as a repressor binds to an operator site. The operator in this instance (and numerous others) is a section of DNA that lies just downstream of the RNA polymerase binding site or overlaps with it (promoter). In other words, it lies between the operon's promoter and its genes.
  • The repressor protein inhibits the synthesis of messenger RNA by attaching to the promoter region of the gene(s) (mRNA). The control of gene expression in cells requires repressor proteins.
  • Thus, by physically impeding the RNA polymerase's ability to operate, these repressor proteins stop the gene from being transcribed.
