Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is- Law of independent assortment.

According to the Mendel's law of independent assortment, the allele ( alternative form of a gene that corresponds to a trait) pairs of different genes segregate independent of each other during the process of gamete formation. This means that different traits are transmitted independently from parents to their offspring.

Thus, Law of independent assortment is the right answer.

According to Mendel’s law of independent assortment, the alleles of a pair segregate into the same or different gamete, and their separation is not influenced by each other.

Further Explanation:

The law of independent assortment explains that when the genes are sorted into different gametes, the receipt of an allele from gene 1 by the gamete is independent of which allele it receives from gene 2. Therefore, the sorting of alleles into gametes is an independent and random process.

For example, in a dihybrid cross, two true-breeding pea plants are crossed. One plant has seeds with yellow color and round shaped (YYRR) while the seeds of the other plants are green in color and wrinkled in shape (yyrr). As the plants are homozygous, the gametes thus formed would be YR for round, yellow seeds and yr for wrinkled, green seeds. Therefore, after the fusion of these gametes, the progeny would be all RrYy (round, yellow seeds).

Such cross defines that the allele for yellow color is dominant over the allele specifying green color while the wrinkled shape is recessive as compared to the round shape (dominant). As a result, all the seeds in the F1 generation were all yellow and round.

When the F1 generation was self-crossed, the following progenies were observed in the F2 generation:

Parent: RrYy X RrYy

Gametes: RY, Ry, rY, ry

Refer Table 1 attached below:

Four types of seeds are formed:

Round, yellow: RRYY (1), RRYy (2), RrYY (2), RrYy (4)

Round, green: RRyy (1), Rryy (2)

Wrinkled, yellow: rrYY (1), rrYy (2)

Wrinkled, green: rryy (1)

The different combination shape and color of seeds in the F2 generation indicated that the allele segregates independent of each other and combine randomly.

Which traits are codominant or incompletey dominant? ( these traits don’t have a clear dominant or recessive , the heterozygous

ankoles [38]

Answer:

Codominant- traits don’t have a clear dominant or recessive

incomplete dominance- the heterozygous condition shows a “blending” or a “middle” condition

Explanation:

In codominance, the traits are expressed equally in the phenotype thus they don't have a clear dominant or recessive state. For example the ABO blood group alleles. The alleles A and B are codominant each being expressed equally.

In incomplete dominance the traits show intermediate expression where one allele expresses itself more strongly than the other. An example in man is seen in the inheritance of the disease sickle cell anaemia. Heterozygote who carry the sickle cell gene are said to have sickle cell trait and as such the carrier allele (HBa) has a stronger influence on the phenotype than the dominant alle (HBs).

.Answer:

1. s-waves

2. s-waves

3. p-waves

4. p-waves

5.surface waves

Explanation:

A P-wave is one of the two main types of elastic body waves, called seismic waves in seismology. P-waves travel faster than other seismic waves and hence are the first signal from an earthquake to arrive at any affected location or at a seismograph. P-waves may be transmitted through gases, liquids, or solids.
a surface wave is a mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media. A common example is gravity waves along the surface of liquids, such as ocean waves. Gravity waves can also occur within liquids, at the interface between two fluids with different densities
S-waves, secondary waves, or shear waves (sometimes called an elastic S-wave) are a type of elastic wave and are one of the two main types of elastic body waves, so named because they move through the body of an object, unlike surface waves.

Classify each component according to whether it is present in a plant cell only, an animal cell only, or both plant and animal c

Oxana [17]

The plant cells contains- cell wall, central vacuole
the animal cell have- cilia cetrosomes
Both plant cells and animal cells contains - cytoplasm and mitochondrion
The main structural differences between plant and animal cells are the additional structures found in pants. The structures include, the cell wall, the chloroplasts and also the vacuoles. The similarity between them is that they both contain plasma membrane, a nucleus, a nucleolus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, peroxisomes and the microtubules.

Which type of gene therapy results in alteration of the DNA of a gamete or a fertilized ovum?

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The correct option is: e. Germline gene therapy

Explanation:

The germline gene therapy, GGT is the modification of the germ cells. In this therapy, a functional gene is introduced into the genomes of the gametes. Such a modification of the germ cell results in all the cells of the organisms to get modified. This change can therefore be passed on to the next generations. Many countries such as Canada, Germany and Switzerland, have prohibited the use of the germline gene therapy on humans.
