Biology

Answer:

Meiosis

Explanation:

A diploid organism receives two forms of gene called ALLELE, one from each parent. These genes are passed on by parents to their offsprings as chromosomes on long strands of DNA.

According to Mendel's law of segregation, these alleles get separated into gametes during meiosis. Meiosis a cell division that results in daughter cells (gametes) that has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes i.e. similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent pair up. These chromosomes (homologous) contains the same genes coding for the same trait but may be in different forms (alleles). The chromosomes containing these alleles get randomly separated into individual cells (gametes) during anaphase of meiosis.

Hence, a gamete receives one allele for each trait.

Olin [163]

Answer: a) RY/ry

b) The unknown individual has colored protein granules and green colored leaves.

Explanation: a) Examining the progeny, we have individuals that are colored and green, which are the dominant gene of each trait. Since one of the parents is homozygous recessive, to "create" an offspring with those characteristics (color and green), the unknown parent must have at least one dominant allele of each: R and Y. There are also, individuals with the recessive trait, so the unknown parent must be heterozygous for both characteristics. In short, the unknown parent is RrYy.

There are 3 ways of showing <u>linkage notation:</u>

1) Two lines: each one representing a chromosome and showing the corresponding gene;

2) One line: genes on the same side are on the same chromosome;

3) Slash: genes on the same side are on the same chromosome:

So, the representation of the unknown parent is: <em><u>RY/ry</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

b) The phenotype of the individual is a plant which has <u>colored protein granules and green colored leaves</u>

True or false Increasing the number of inhibitors will decrease the overall rate of reaction.
vichka [17]

Explanation:

By definition, inhibitors slow down chemical reactions. So if you were to add an inhibitor to a reaction, you would cause the rate of reaction to decrease. The opposite idea of inhibitors are enzymes. These speed up chemical reactions, thus increasing the reaction rate
