Explanation:
The planet Mars has two moons. Phobos and Delmos (i) phobos has period `7` hours, `39` minutes and an orbital radius of `9.4 xx 10^(3) km`. Calculate the mass of Mars. (ii) Assume that Earth and mars move in a circular orbit around the sun, with the martian orbit being `1.52` times the orbital radius of the Earth. What is the length of the martian year in days? `(G = 6.67 xx 10^(-11) Nm^(2) kg^(-2))`
Answer:
The phenotypic variation for the trait is continuous
Explanation:
Genetically speaking, quantitative traits are controlled by many genes, classes are not easily distinguishable and there is a continuous distribution of the phenotype. These characteristics refer to measurements of quantities (weights, volumes, measurements: kg, m, cm, g, m2, etc.).
In other words, quantitative characteristics are those that exhibit continuous variations and are partly of non-genetic origin; that is, they are greatly affected by the environment.
Answer:
It is only nucleotide phosphates e.g. adenosine triphosphate (ATP) that stores energy for all cell's use. It is also a molecule that is similar to one of the nucleic acids in DNA and RNA.
Transposable elements are considered to be responsible for vast range of genome diversity and gene silencing.
Explanation:
Transposable elements are short sequences of DNA that have the ability to move from one location to another in the genome. During this process they copy themselves.
The entire process carried out by transposable elements to copy themselves and move from one location to another is called transposition.
Transposition may result in mutation and is potentially a major source of genome diversity and change. If a transposon inserts itself into the coding region of a gene,it interrupts the coding sequence and inactivates the gene expression.
In addition to this, a transposable element may contain transcription or translation termination signal that will block the gene expression downstream of insertion site.
