When plants make flowers, gene A is expressedin whorls 1 and 2, gene B is expressed in whorls 2 and 3 and gene C in whorls 3 and

4; gene D in contrast is expressed in 2,3 and 4. What is predicted to be the consequence of homozygosity for a null mutation in gene C?
a) no sepals

b) no petals

c) no petals or sepals

d) no gametes

Answer:

The correct answer would be option D) no gametes.

Explanation:

The ABC model of the flower was formulated to describe the collection of genetic procedures that determines floral organs in several plants. These species consist of four whorls which are sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. These whorls are expressed by the expression of a number of genes present in each whorl or verticli.

Gene A is solely responsible for the sepals while the co-expression of A and B genes are responsible for the petals. The identity of the stamens is expressed by B and C and the carpels require C and D genes to be active.

The homozygousity for a normal mutation in gene C will lead to inactive or lack stamens and carpels, which are male and female reproductive organs. These are an important structure for forming gametes.

Thus, the correct answer would be option D) no gametes.

Why conserve water? Because fresh water is rare and the process to clean water is expensive; therefore it shouldn’t be wasted. The next time you are tempted to waste water, think of all poor people who can’t afford clean water. Many children die and suffer everyday from dehydration and water that are unclean. :(

How long would it take
Valentin [98]
Solution:
4.2 x 10^6 bp/10^3 bp/seconds         = 4.2 + 103 s which is 4200 seconds and equivalents to 70 minutes

In addition, assuming a pause of 2 seconds for re initiating after completing every okazaki fragment and assuming the okazaki fragments average 1000 nucleotide long.  
4.2 x 10^6 bp/10^3 bp                        = 4200 okazaki fragments                           4200 * 2 seconds                               = 8400 seconds which is 140 minutes or 2 hours 20 minutes of pauses alone.                                                                        

Therefore, overall time would be pauses plus the 70 minutes so total time of 210 minutes. Assuming that the replisome completely disassociates from the DNA after every okazaki fragment and must spend one-minute rebinding.

4200 okazaki fragments. 60 seconds rebinding time per fragment:                        4200 x 1 minute = 4200 minutes rebinding time plus 70 minutes for actual replication. 4200 minutes is 70 hours which is almost 3 days.

NOT BIOLOGY ITS PHYSICAL SCIENCE how are the allotropes of carbon similar and how are they different?
Rashid [163]

Allotropes of carbon includes substances such as graphite, diamond or buckminsterfullerene.



They’re all similar in the thing that they’re all made out of carbon only.


However, their structure is different, such as graphite has a layer structure, diamond has a tetrahedral structure, and buckminsterfullerene has a spherical structure.  



Since they have different structures, they have different physical properties too. For example, diamond is hard because all the carbon atoms in the structure is held together by strong covalent bonds, while graphite are graphene layers that are held by weak intermolecular forces which makes the layers slide over each other easily thus making graphite soft.
