Answer:

<em>Plant cell wall</em>

Explanation:

Microtubules: These are hollow cylinders constituted by a protein called tubulin. They are important components of the cytoskeleton providing support and transport mediums to the cell.

Microfilaments: one of the fundamental components of the cytoskeleton, they are composed of filaments of the actin protein. Microfilaments are abundant in the region adjacent to the membrane, where they associate with other proteins to compose the cytoskeleton.

Cell wall: composed of polysaccharides and glycoproteins organized in a tridimensional <u>matrix</u>. The most important component is cellulose, composed of repeated glucose units joined between them. Each cellulose molecule contains about 500 glucose units.

Intermediate filaments: Insoluble, cytosolic, fibrous proteins that are present in every eukaryotic cell. They compose the cytoskeleton that supports the cellular structure and are involved in different metabolic and physiological processes. They participate in internal organelles organization.

Nuclear lamina: intercrossed net of intermediate filaments composed by lamins proteins. It is located in the nucleoplasm periphery in contact with the inner face of the nuclear cover.

Mendel crossed yellow-seeded and green-seeded pea plants and then allowed the offspring to self-pollinate to produce an F2 gener
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

C. The green allele is recessive to the yellow allele

Explanation:

Complete dominance occurs when one gene variant or allele referred to as the 'dominant allele' completely masks the expression of another allele referred to as the 'recessive allele' in heterozygous individuals, i.e., in individuals carrying one copy of the dominant allele and one copy of the recessive allele for a particular locus/gene (whereas homo-zygous individuals carry the same alleles for a given locus/gene). Mendel crossed pure lines of pea plants, i.e., homo-zygous lines for different traits such as seed color (yellow and green) and seed shape (round and wrinkled). In this case, the parental cross was YY x yy, where the 'Y' allele is dominant and encodes for yellow seed color, and the 'y' allele is recessive and encodes for green seed color. From this cross, Mendel obtained a hybrid F1 (i.e., all progeny was heterozygous with genotype Yy). An expected 3:1 ratio as observed in this case (6,022 yellow and 2,001 green seed >> 3:1 ratio) is characteristic of the progeny that results from mating between F1 heterozygous parents, where each parent has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, i.e., F1 parental cross: Yy x Yy >> F2: 1/4 YY (yellow color); 1/2 Yy (yellow color); 1/4 (green color) >> 3:1 ratio of yellow to green seeds.

What would be the consequences of the following?(A) A mutation of a promoter sequence such that the promoter is deleted.(B) A mu
balu736 [363]

Answer A)

The gene would not be transcribed. This is because the gene transcribing machinery would not be activated if the promoter sequence is not recognized. Transcription will not start.

Answer B)

The gene would not be transcribed. This will result in no RNA polymerase being formed. Hence, transcription and translation will not occur.

Answer C)

The mRNA would contain intron sequences, which would be translated into extra amino acids in the protein. A non- functional protein would be made.

Answer:

Without bats, say goodbye to bananas, avocados and mangoes. Over 300 species of fruit depend on bats for pollination. Bats help spread seeds for nuts, figs and cacao -- the main ingredient in chocolate. Without bats, we also wouldn’t have plants like agave or the iconic saguaro cactus.

All of the following are groups of vertebrae except ________, which is a curvature.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The answer is Pelvic.

Explanation:

The following are groups of vertebrae: cervical, thoracic, lumbar. The pelvis is not part of this group. The pelvis is located at the bottom of the trunk. It is a funnel-shaped cavity (musculoskeletal) that narrows downward, limited by the sacral bone, the coccyx and the coxals, thus forming the pelvic girdle and the muscles of the lower abdominal wall and the peritoneum.
