people who are heterozygous for Cystic fibrosis would not display the trait but could potentially pass the allele on to their offspring.

Which is the first step that geologists must do to compare rock layers at distant locations? 1.find the absolute age of rocks at
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

2.compare a layer at one location to layers at other locations

Explanation:

Comparing rock layers in distant places can be a challenge for geologists since these layers may have different environmental factors that caused different transformations in them.

Therefore, when it is necessary to establish a comparison between layers of rocks in different ligands, geologists must establish steps to make an efficient comparison and have results consistent with reality. To do this, they must first compare a layer in one location with layers in other locations, assign relative age to a layer in one location, and identify index fossils in one or more layers in one location.

RNA primers must be present on which strand during DNA synthesis? See Section 15.3 (Page) . View Available Hint(s) RNA primers m
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Both leading and lagging strands

Explanation:

DNA replication is the enzyme of DNA replication that forms new DNA strands. However, the enzyme cannot start the process of synthesis of new DNA strands by itself but needs small primers. Primers are the small RNA sequences synthesized by RNA primase on both leading and lagging strands.

These primers are elongated by DNA polymerase by the addition of deoxyribonucleotides according to the sequence of the template strand. Since DNA replication on both lagging and leading strand is carried out by DNA polymerase, RNA primers are present on both lagging and leading strands.

A Pea plant that is homozygous for inflated pods are heterozygous for round seeds is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous f
Norma-Jean [14]
The answer is False!

P - dominant allele for inflated pods
p - recessive allele for inflated pods
PP - homozygote with inflated pods
Pp - heterozygote with inflated pods
pp - homozygote with inflated pods

S - dominant allele for round seeds
s - recessive allele for wrinkled seeds
SS - homozygote with round seeds
Ss - heterozygote with round seeds
ss - homozygote with wrinkled seeds

1. <span>A Pea plant that is homozygous for inflated pods are heterozygous for round seeds: PPSs
2. A</span><span> plant that is heterozygous for inflated pods and a homozygous for wrinkled seeds: Ppss

Let's look at their genotypes separately, and cross them that way:

Parents:              PP       x      Pp
Offspring:     PP      PP      Pp     Pp
All of the offspring will have the same phenotype (100% = 1). So, this trait does not affect phenotypic ratio

</span>Parents:              Ss       x      ss
Offspring:     Ss      Ss      ss     ss
Half of the offspring will have wrinkled seeds and half of them will have round seeds: 50% : 50% = 1 : 1

So, the phenotypic ratio is not  1 : 3

Can cells break down molecules in patients with cystic fibrosis
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

An inherited life-threatening disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system.

Cystic fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat and digestive juices. It causes these fluids to become thick and sticky. They then plug up tubes, ducts and passageways.
