Answer: a). AA

Explanation: Every trait is controlled by at least a pair of gene. Genes have different forms known as alleles. Alleles can be dominant or recessive. A dominant allele expresses itself in the presence of a recessive allele and masks the effect of a recessive allele. A recessive allele cannot express itself in the presence of a dominant allele and it's effect is masked by a dominant allele. Dominant alleles are usually written in upper cases such as A, T, while recessive alleles are usually written in lower cases such as a, t. The two alleles that determines a trait is called a genotype. A genotype can be homozygous if the two alleles are identical such as in AA or aa

and can be heterozygous if the two alleles are not identical such as in Aa, Tt.

Do all the days of the year have the same amount of daylight? yes or no how?

Ket [755]

Answer:

Explanation:

Atmospheric refraction raises the sun about 1/2 degrees upward in our sky at both sunrise and sunset. This advances the time of actual sunrise, while delaying the time of actual sunset. This gives several minutes of extra daylight, not just at an equinox.

Which vector would be the best choice for cystic fibrosis gene therapy and why?

Shkiper50 [21]

The vector that would be the best choice for cystic fibrosis gene therapy is adeno-associated virus for it has valuable reasons. First, it is huge enough to carry the gene, second, it will infect the right type of tissue, third, it will not cause an immune response and lastly, it infects the particular cells that divide irregularly. Therefore, this vector will definitely treat cystic fibrosis for it can target affected cells, which is a great help in the normal functioning of an organ.

thinking about how gene expression affect cellular differentiation , explain why a rabbit looks so much different as an adult co

Kaylis [27]

Ans.

Cell differentiation is defined as a process, by which less specialized cells, such as embryonic cells become more specialized. The process of cell differentiation is regulated by gene expression. Gene expression involves a specific group of genes that are turned on (expressed) or turn off (repressed) and dictates a cell's function.

A fertilized egg represents a single, non-specialized cell that develops into a complex, multicellular organism by cell differentiation. Thus, a adult rabbit looks so much different as compared to a single fertilized cell or zygote, due to cell differentiation, which is regulated by gene expression.
