Glycerol and other organic compounds with an -ol ending are called

1 answer:

7 0

If an organic compound has -ol at some point in its name (such as Glycerol, Methanol, hexan-2-ol) then it contains one or more Hydroxyl Groups. This functional group consists of a Hydrogen bonded to an Oxygen, and the Oxygen is also bonded to some point on the Carbon chain.

The name for this series of compounds is the Alcohols.

Bond [772]

Answer:

a) The genes present on separate chromosomes exhibit indepedent assortment.

b) The genotype of tall and purple flower parent= TTPp

The genotype of short and purple flower parent: ttPp

Explanation:

a) In a dihybrid cross, if the genes are present on the same chromosome, they will not exhibit independent assortment. The genes present on the same chromosome are called linked genes. Linked genes are inherited together. The absence of independent assortment of a linked gene gives more of parental types in F2 progeny. Therefore, if genes are not present on a separate chromosome, Mendel’s ratios deviate.

b) Alleles for tallness and purple flower are dominant. In the progeny, all the plants are tall. This means that the dominant tall plant is homozygous. With respect to flower color, the trait exhibits segregation of dominant and recessive alleles and both purple and white flower progeny are obtained. This makes both the plants heterozygous for the flower color gene.

The genotype of tall and purple flower parent= TTPp

The genotype of short and purple flower parent: ttPp

What would cause an individual to have a mutation in all of their cells?

Stella [2.4K]

Answer: These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if an error is made as DNA copies itself during cell division. Acquired mutations in somatic cells (cells other than sperm and egg cells) cannot be passed to the next generation.

Hope that helped

This happens when there is a noteworthy contrast in temperature between two sections of a liquid. At the point when this temperature distinction exists, hot liquids rise and cool liquids sink, and after that streams, or developments, are made in the liquid
