The term which describes the breaking down of body cells or substance is CATABOLISM.
The metabolic processes which occur in living things are of two types, these are anabolic and catabolic processes. The anabolic process involves the building up of needed materials in the body while the catabolic process involves the breaking down of waste materials in the body in order to eliminate them through excretion.

<span>catabolism This is a one part of metabolism, the other part is known as anabolism. Catabolism breaks down larger units into small ones , these can be amino acids, polysaccharides and even fatty units in the body. The products of the breakdown is either energy or another substantial end product for another process useful in the body</span>

Antarctic fish. To stop their blood from freezing, some fish that live in the arctic and Antarctic have special Antifreeze proteins.

If you count 52 purple rough corn kernels and 50 yellow smooth corn kernels how many people smooth corn kernels should you expec
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

17

Explanation:

In corn,

Smooth kernel (S) is dominant to rough kernel (s)

Purple kernel (P) is dominant to yellow kernel (p)

Since no information has been given about the cross here let us assume it to be a standard dihybrid cross.

The phenotypic ratio of dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1. 9/16 will show dominant phenotype for both traits, 3/16 will show dominant phenotype for one trait, other 3/16 will show dominant phenotype for the second trait, 1/16 will have recessive phenotype for both the traits.

Here,

Purple rough (P_ss) = 52

Yellow smooth (ppS_) = 50

Both of them show dominant phenotype for one trait so they each form 3/16 of the progeny.

If the total progeny was z, 3/16*z = 50

z = (50*16)/3 = 267

Total progeny = 267 kernels

Yellow rough kernels (ppss) = (1/16*267) = 17

So approximately 17 corn kernels will be yellow and rough.
