The answer is there (3). This is because a mitochondrion has it own DNA called mitochondrial DNA. Therefore the three genetic materials from different parents (mitochondria from donor mother, DNA from biological mother and DNA from biological father) would be present in the baby. Somatic nucleus transfer is the medical procedure used when the biological mother has mitochondria disorder which she would not wish to pass to her offsprings (which are inherited maternally).
Incomplete dominance means that an allele is neither dominant nor recessive. An example would be the alleles for the genes that decide the color trait of a Mirabilis plant. 1. B. We should take a red petunia plant and a white petunia plant and have them crossbreed.
Only plants need cell walls, animals do not. Cell walls help maintain cell shape in plants, while the cell membrane helps support animal cells.
Answer:
somatic cells have highly specific functions
Explanation:
In our body, the major part of cells is irreversibly differentiated into somatic cells. From a cellular point of view, this process of differentiation seems to be an evolutionary disadvantage. However, cellular differentiation is a process aimed at exploiting the genetic variation in order to obtain a highly specialized cell type that is capable of carrying out a specific cellular function. For example, keratinocytes are highly specialized epithelial cells that function by separating the organism from the surrounding environment.
