Answer: buccinator

Explanation:

The buccinator is a muscle that looks quadrilateral in shape. It is present between the internal of mandible and maxilla. It basically forms the anterior portion of the cheek and also forms the part of the oral cavity. The buccinator muscles compresses the cheeks against the teeth.

aliina [53]

Answer:

a. Bacteria cannot carry out splicing.

Explanation:

Human genes contain non-coding sequences called introns. Transcription of genes produces primary transcripts that undergo post-transcriptional modifications to produce mature mRNA. These modifications include removal of introns, the addition of 3' poly-A tail and 5' cap. The splicing of introns from primary transcripts is followed by ligation of protein-coding sequences exons to produce mature mRNA. The mRNA leaves the nucleus and serves as a template for protein synthesis.

Splicing of introns requires specific machinery such as several small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes, etc. which are not present in a prokaryotic cell. Therefore, a eukaryotic gene like the gene for human growth hormone is not expressed in a bacteria cell as these prokaryotic cells cannot carry out the splicing of introns from pre-mRNA.

When Mendel crossed yellow-seeded and green-seeded pea plants, what happened?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Offspring in F1 generation had yellow-seeded pea plants.

Explanation:

When Mendel used yellow-seeded and green-seeded pea plants as parents plants he noticed that all of the offspring of the first generation (F1) were yellow-seeded plants. In the next following generation (F2), phenotype ratio was 3:1 (yellow:green).

After this observation Mendel conclude that yellow-seeded plants are dominant over green-seeded plants. Since he used purebred plants, genotypes were:

P: AA  x  aa

F1: Aa Aa Aa Aa

F2: AA Aa Aa aa

AA and Aa are genotypes for the yellow seeds, while aa is genotype for green seeds.
