In some genetically engineered corn plants, a Bt gene was added to a chromosome. The Bt gene specifies a protein called Bt that

is lethal to certain flying insect pests that eat the corn plants. If the corn plant is is heterozygous for the Bt gene (one homolog has the introduced Bt gene and the other does not), what proportion of the sperm would carry the Bt gene? Is the presence of the Bt gene (a mutation) dominant or recessive to its absence (the wild type)?

Answer:

The  proportion of the sperm would carry the Bt gene is 1/2

The presence of the Bt gene is dominant

Explanation:

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) transgenic crops include, ammong, others, cotton, corn, and potatoes. The Bt transgenic crops are aimed at killing insect pests that feed plants and thus reduce crop yields

Based on depth and distance from the shoreline, how many zones are found in ponds and lakes?
spayn [35]

Answer: Five

Each pond or lake have typically five zones in common.

1. The littoral zone: It is the shore area of the pond or lake. It is a transition zone between the dry shore area and the open water.

2.The limenetic zone: It is the open water area of the lake or pond. This is the portion of water that receives sunlight light.

3.The euphotic zone: It is the zone where, algae and other plants grows. Also, this zone favors the growth of aquatic animals such as fishes, because oxygen levels are higher as this zone traps the atmospheric oxygen.

4. The profundal zone: It is the zone located below the limentic zone. This zone is not penetrated by sunlight. The size of the zone depends upon the age and water clarity of the pond or lake. It exhibit low fish and plant population because of the lack oxygen present in this zone.  

5. The benthic zone: It is the zone which is found at the bottom of the lake or pond. It consists of organic sediments and soil. This zone involves decomposition activity of the dead organic matter obtained from dead algae, plants, fish and animal wastes.

Which statements are true for a protein whose genetic sequence has 11 codons?
slega [8]

Answer:2.)One start codon and one stop codon are used for its synthesis.

3.)The piece of genetic code used for its production contains 11 codons.

Explanation: A codon is a nucleotide sequence on the mRNA that is made up of three nucleotides molecules. A codon is a nucleotide sequence that codes for a specific amino acid. Every amino acid is coded for by at least one codon. Some amino acids are coded for by more than one codon.

During protein synthesis, every protein is synthesized using one start codon and one stop codon. A start codon signals the beginning of translation while the stop codon signals the end of translation. The start codon codes for methionine while the stop codon codes for no amino acid. Therefore, a protein whose genetic sequence has 11 codons is synthesized using a piece of genetic code containing 11 codons.
