LAMARCK's THEORY 
                                   
Jean Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) proposed a theory which was published in "<em>Philosophie Zoologique"</em> (1809).  This theory is simply known as Lamarckism. It has two main postulates:

1. Use and disuse of organs
2. Inheritance of acquired characters.

Example
             He explained his theory by giving the examples:
1. Neck length of Girrafes
2. Webbed toes of water birds, and
3. Wings of penguins

Explanation
               Lamarck explained that water birds use toe for swimming, with the passage of time webbed were developed in their toes. these features were then transferred to their offspring. 

Drawback
                Lamarck theory was based on natural observation. It did not explain the genetic basis of such characteristics.

During binary fission in a bacterial cell, a base pair is changed from adenine to cytosine. what has just occurred?
insens350 [35]

During binary fission in a bacterial cell, a base pair is changed from adenine to cytosine due to a random mutation.

Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction through which a bacteria divides and its body is separated into two new bodies.

If during binary fission in a bacterial cell, a base pair is changed from adenine to cytosine, it is because of a random mutation. A mutation is a genetic alteration or a change in the DNA sequence which results in the generation of a variant. Mutations in the DNA sequence which occur without any specific pattern is known as a random mutation.

Brown eye-color alleles are dominant over blue eye-color alleles, which are recessive. jenna has brown eyes. her husband, bill,
Vinil7 [7]
Brown eye-color is dominant while the blue-eye color is recessive. Therefore, the homozygous for brown color is BB and the homozygous for brown color is bb. Thus, the heterozygous will be Bb (brown color). Since James has blue colored eyes  a child of Jenna (brown color) and bill (blue color) then it means Jenna is heterozygous (Bb). Jenna is described  as being a carrier of the allele for blue eyes.

What characteristics of DNA results in cell differentiation in developing embryos?
Elina [12.6K]

Hi!


The correct option is B. Which genes are active.


Embryonic differentiation is a developmental process by which embryonic cells give rise to specialized cells and a diverse range of tissue structures. All of this unique cells essentially rise from a type of cells that are known as pluripotent cells.

But how do these pluripotent embryonic stem cells know which cells to differentiate into? This is where genes come into play. The cell has an inherent signalling ability that determines which gene is to be active and expressed. These specifically activated genes then translate into proteins for which it is specific, giving each cell, tissue and organ its particular identity.


Hope this helps!
