1. The main aim of the Human Genome Project was to determine the DNA Sequence of every human gene.

2. Variation in skin colour is an example of polygenic inheritance

This Human Karyotype is unusual because it has an extra chromosome at chromosome 21.

Klinefelters syndrome is shown in the second figure

Explanation:

1. The Human Genome Project's main goal was to sequence all the 30,000 genes and 3 million base pairs in their makeup for the early detection of diseases, gene therapy and molecular level studies.

2. Human skin colour is determined by the pigment melanin. The Dominant allele is responsible for dark colours as it produces more melanin. The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene and Tyrosinase enzyme codes for the human skin colour. Polygenic inheritance are the traits which are controlled by one or more genes.

<u>figures:</u>

<u>The extra chro</u>mosome at the 21st chromosome pairs is called trisomy 21 or Down's Syndrome. It is due to the abnormal cell division/meiosis resulting in an extra X chromosome. This leads to thechanges the in physical development of  the individual.

Klinefelter's Syndrome: There are 47 chromosomes and 2 or more X chromosomes in this syndrome of males. The resulting male suffering from Klinefelter would be sterile and have poorly developed testicles.

In plants, which of the following are produced by meiosis?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c. Haploid spores.

Explanation:

In the plants, spores are normally unicellular and haploid and produced by the process of meiosis in the sporophytic body of the plant.

These haploid spores undergo the mitotic division and develop a new individual called gametophyte that forms gametes eventually.

Thus, the correct answer is option C. Haploid spores.

Glands that release sweat into hair follicles are called __________.
Agata [3.3K]
<span>Apocrine sweat glands release sweat into hair follicles. Unlike the more common eccrine sweat glands, these are found only in the armpits, anogenital region, ears and eyelids of humans. Unlike eccrine sweat, apocrine sweat doesn't really contribute to cooling the body. Apocrine sweat contains more chemical compounds than eccrine sweat; these feed bacteria on the skin which produce a detectable odor. Apocrine sweat glands become active at puberty and are most active in times of stress and sexual excitement.</span>

The following best describes which process:
Viktor [21]

Answer: transcription

Explanation: Transcription is a process by which an mRNA is synthesized using a DNA template. It is the process of copying the genetic message encoded in a DNA into an RNA. This process is catalyzed by an enzyme known as RNA polymerase. The RNA polymerase requires a DNA template, four oligonucleotides (ATP, UTP, CTP, and GTP) as precursors for RNA synthesis. The newly synthesized mRNA is complementary to the template strand of DNA in the sense that wherever adenine is found in the DNA template strand uracil occurs in the mRNA strand, wherever thymine occurs in the DNA template strand, adenine is found in the mRNA strand and wherever guanine occurs in the DNA template, cytosine occurs in the mRNA strand.
