A haploid human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs. If the distance between each base pair is 0.34 nm (a nanometer is one b

illionth of a meter), in a cell that has just completed replication in S phase, what is the length of DNA in this cell, in meters, if all the chromosomes were strung together?

Answer:

The answer is 6.8 meters.

Explanation:

During the S phase of the cell replication, the DNA is doubled before the division of the cell which means that it is twice it's original length.

At 0.34 nanometers, 3 billion base pairs (3.000.000.000) comes up to 3.4 meters and during the S phase the length is doubled so it is 6.8 meters long.

I hope this answer helps.

In fruit flies, the allele for vestigial wings is recessive to the allele for normal wings. In a generation of fruit flies, 18 m
Zina [86]
Mendelian genetics one of the fundamental laws is The Law of Independent Assortment. The law states that parental traits are passed independently from parent to child. The recessive trait, vestigial Wings, occurs in an approximate phenotypic ratio of 1.3. In monohybrid Cross of heterozygous (Rr) parents the expected phenotypic ratio correlates with the given 1:3 result therefore l can conclude that the parents are both heterogeneous (Rr) for vestigial wings. Normal Wings-R, Vestigial Wings (Parent 1) Rr* Rr (Parent 2) R*R- RR- Normal Wings (Child 1) R*r Rr- Normal WIngs (Child 2) r * R - Rr- Normal Wings (Child 3) r*r- rr Vestigial Wings (Child 4) 1 Vestigial Wings: 3 Normal Wings

Describe and account for the relationship between the two population growth curves between hares and lynx.
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The lynx's principal food source is the snowshoe hare. These two species' population cycles are intertwined. When hares are abundant, lynx consume almost nothing else and kill two hares every three days. When hares are sparse, lynx eat mice, voles, squirrels, grouse, ptarmigan, and carrion.
