Answer:

The best response to the question: Identify a right statement explaining about Spo11, would be, A: Spo11 cleaves DNA only at specific DNA sequences.

Explanation:

Spo11 is a protein present in eukaryotic cells that is part of the process of cleaving, formation, recombination and repair of DNA double strands when the process of meiosis takes place. This ensures that the correct pairing of genes is present and that the resulting DNA strands will be functional. Although a lot is still not known about the exact process, it seems that Spo11 is one of the proteins responsible for producing the cleaving of DNA strands through a pretty complex chemical process. However, what it is known is that this protein can usually be found on the 5´ terminals of the DNA strands, and they cleave portions of it so that these portions can later be recombined with their pairs appropriately enough to make the new formed strands fully functional and their home cells also functional.

Salt is made up of a atom of sodium and a atom of chlorine. True or False
givi [52]
The statement is true. This is because the chemical formula for a salt compound (a compound is made up of two or more atoms of elements) is NaCl, where Na is Sodium, and Cl is Chlorine. Hope this helps!

mezya [45]

Options for the question are not given. They are as follows :

A.  Mate them and see what color the offspring are—that will be the dominant color

B.  Mate them and see what color the offspring are—the other will be the dominant color

C.  Mate them, and then mate their offspring to see what color the next generation is

D.  Mate them together, and then mate their offspring to see what color the next generation is—the other color will be the dominant color

Answer:

A.  Mate them and see what color the offspring are—that will be the dominant color

Explanation:

Out of the two colors, one will be recessive and one will be dominant. Recessive color will be homozygous since it is only expressed in homozygous condition. It is also given that in this cross the dominant color is also in homozygous condition.

When the guinea pigs mate, the resulting progeny will obtain one dominant allele from the dominant color parent and one recessive allele from the recessive color parent. The progeny will be heterozygous and show the dominant phenotype since the dominant allele will mask the recessive allele. Thus, the color which is visible in their offspring will be the dominant color.
