Why are the cells from an embryo so special

Biology

Nuetrik [128]3 years ago

Building off of the last answer; stem cells are essential in possible cures for destroyed tissues/cells because they can almost mend the damaged spot, which is why stem cell research is very prominent recently. The cells don't have a set function developed yet, so they can be used for a boatload of things until they 'specialize' and they're not as useful anymore.

Embryonic stem cells are special in that they can generate all cell types in the body; they are "pluripotent".

One of these embryo stem cells represent a potentially unlimited source of cells.

when you perform a dihybrid cross with two heterozygous individuals for the two traits, what is the expected phenotypic ratio?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

9:3:3:1

Explanation:

A dihybrid cross tracks two traits. Both parents are heterozygous, and one allele for each trait exhibits complete dominance *. This means that both parents have recessive alleles, but exhibit the dominant phenotype. The phenotype ratio predicted for dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1. (There's a calculator on google that show the outcomes just to let ya know) hope it's correct .

A population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium with respect to a gene, "yellow," which has 2 alleles, y and Y. Y, the wild type a
Anton [14]

Answer:

The frequency of the Y allele is 0.7

The frequency of the y allele is 0.3

The frequency of the YY homozygote is 0.49

The frequency of the Yy heterozygote is 0.42

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium,

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where,

p = frequency of dominant allele

q = frequency of recessive allele

p² = frequency of dominant homozygous genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

q² = frequency of  recessive homozygous genotype

Here,

yy = q² = 0.09

frequency of y allele = q = √0.09 = 0.3

frequency of Y allele = p = 1-q = 1-0.3 = 0.7

p² = YY = (0.7)² = 0.49

2pq = Yy = 2 * 0.7 * 0.3 = 0.42

Name the protein which fills the cells of the stratum corneum and gives the skin its strength.
yKpoI14uk [10]

Keratin is an intracellular fibrous protein that gives hair, nails, and skin their hardness, strength, and water-resistant properties. The keratinocytes in the stratum corneum are dead and regularly slough away, being replaced by cells from the deeper layers

Hope this helped!

Good luck :p
