The probability that the plant will produce a gamete with a haploid genotype of wxyz is 0.0625

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

A certain species of plant has four unlinked genetic loci, w, x, y, and z. each genetic locus has one dominant allele and one recessive allele. for a plant with the genotype wwxxyyzz, What is the probability that the plant will produce a gamete (a mature haploid male or female germ cell that able to unite with another of the opposite sex in sexual reproduction forming a zygote) with a haploid genotype of wxyz?

The genotype is the genetic makeup part of a cell, and any individual, which determines one of its characteristics.  The differences between haplotype and genotype is, A haplotype is a set of DNA variations that are usually inherited together. These sets or haplotypes are located on one chromosom. Whereas the genotype is a single trait or multiple traits inherited together from a parent

The genotype of the plant is WwXxYyZz and has a 50% chance of passing each of the alleles of a gene, the dominant or the recessive.

The chance to produce the haploid genotype of a gamete Wxyz is 0,5 (W)* 0,5 (x)* 0,5 (y) * 0,5( z)= 0,0625

The plants that were allowed to self pollinate were the F1 plants.

The plants that are true breeding are P generation plants.

The plants where there were 3times as many tall plants as short plants are in F2 generation.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

This question is based on the Mendel’s Experiment. Sir Gregor Johann Mendel was the father of genetics who experimented on garden pea plants <em>Pisum</em> <em>sativum</em> to see whether the characters got mixed or not and to know the real cause behind different traits of same character in plants.

He took the pure homozygous tall and short plants separately which he called as parental generation or P generation. These plants were homozygous, hence pure breeding.

As these plants were crossed between themselves, then the F1 generation showed all tall plants. This is because of the heterozygous plants which showed character of dominant trait. These plants were allowed to self pollinate.

As a result of self pollination of the F1 plants, the F2 plants were 75% tall in number whereas the other 25% short, which gave the phenotypic ratio of 3:1.

Answer:

25 years

Explanation:

Ossification is the process of bone tissue formation. Osteoblasts are responsible for the process of ossification. It begins when the fetus is three months old and goes on till 25 years of age. Upper limbs get ossified first, followed by lower limbs, sternum and vertebrae.

There are two types of ossification processes. When bone is directly developed using the primitive connective tissue (mesenchyme) it is called as  intramembranous ossification, while in endochondral ossification cartilage is used as a precursor.

Sergio [31]
<h2>False is Right Answer</h2>

Explanation:

  • False is Right Answer.
  1. Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms, <em>for example, infections or microbes that are conveyed in blood and can  cause sickness in individuals.</em>
  2. There are a wide range of bloodborne pathogens including <em>intestinal sickness, syphilis, and  brucellosis, however Hepatitis B (HBV) and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are the two ailments explicitly tended to by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard.</em>  
  3. Washing hands when patient contact appears to be a basic answer for forestall the spread of microorganisms between patients.  
  4. <em>Hand washing (or handwashing), otherwise called hand cleanliness</em>, is the demonstration of cleaning hands to expel soil, earth, and microorganisms.
  5. The fundamental clinical reason for washing hands is to purge the hands of <em>pathogens (microscopic organisms, infections, or different microorganisms that can cause sickness).</em>
