Three types of genetically engineered plants are: 

I) Corn- Corn contains phosphorous mineral which plays an essential role in the growth and maintenance of body tissues

II) Soy-Its function is to promote essential amino acids for human nutrition.

III) Alfalfa- This is a source of Vitamin A, C, E and K4 along with minerals such as calcium, potassium, and iron protein. It encourages healthier hair growth and strengthens hair.

In a hypothetical population of plants, flower color is determined by a single gene with two alleles. In a population of 500 pla

blondinia [14]

Answer:

In the F1 generation

RR = 0%

Rr = 50% (or 0.5)

rr = 50% (or 0.5)

Explanation:

A pink flowering plant has the genotype Rr. It is heterozygous for the allele. The alleles for this gene appears to show incomplete dominance, as the heterozygous phenotype is a blend of the two homozygous genotypes.

A white flowering plant has the genotype rr. It is homozyogous for the white allele

A punnet square of the cross is shown.

The resulting punnet square shows that only Rr and rr genotypes are possible, at a ratio of 50:50 (or 1:1). Therefore, the genotype frequency of Rr is 50%, and rr is 50% in the F1 generation. This can also be written as 0.5. It is not possible to get a red plant, as the genotype RR can not come from this cross

What makes the structure of Carbon so unique? Why is Carbon considered the building block of all life? (3 sentence minimum answe

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The carbon atom has unique properties that allow it to form covalent bonds to as many as four different atoms, making this versatile element ideal to serve as the basic structural component, or “backbone,” of the macromolecules.

All living things contain carbon in some form. Carbon is the primary component of macromolecules, including proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. Carbon's molecular structure allows it to bond in many different ways and with many different elements.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Granulosa cells

Explanation:

Foliculogenesis is a dynamic and complex process through which the follicle goes through many stages of development in a short period (approximately 60 days in humans and some chimpanzees).

The stages classification is based on morphological changes such as follicular size or diameter, the number of follicular cell layers, etcetera. These classifications might vary among authors but could be denominated as:

Primordial follicle

Primary follicle

Secondary follicle and

De Graaf follicles (This is the one shown in the image)

Through each stage, there are certain modifications in the oocyte, follicular cells, and connective tissue. As the oocyte grows, the follicular cells might reach a size twice or three times bigger than the ones of the primordial follicles. Their shape also changes and they adopt an aspect of stratified epithelium. Their cytoplasm gets a granulous aspect, after what these cells receive the name of granulous cells. The De Graaf follicle characterizes for having a space named follicular antro that displaces the oocyte to one of the sides.

The oocyte at this point gets surrounded by zona pellucida and corona radiata .

The follicular antro (The highlighted structure) separates the oocyte from the externally located granulosa cells or follicular cells.
