A Punnett square summarizes how the processes of meiosis and fertilization contribute to inheritance of different alleles of a gene. So one major advantage is it can help determine certain things about a child by looking at the dominant and recessive genes and gives a percent of how likely they are to get that thing for example a punnet square may show what color a child’s eye color is likely to be upon birth

Answer:

One advantage of Punnett squares as a model of inheritance is that a Punnett square summarizes how the processes of meiosis and fertilization contribute to inheritance of different alleles of a gene.

Please find the answer to the blank spaces in each statement of the attached image in CAPS.

1. All energy comes from the SUN

2. Plants, algae and some bacteria capture energy by PHOTOSYNTHESIS in their CHLOROPLAST.

3. Plants, animals, fungi, protists, and most bacteria release energy by RESPIRATION in their MITOCHONDRIA.

Note:

- Photosynthesis requires CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) and WATER (H20) to make GLUCOSE (C6H12O6) and OXYGEN (02)

- Respiration requires GLUCOSE (C6H12O6) and OXYGEN (02) to make CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) and WATER

Explanation:

The image in this diagram is depicting how energy flows from the ultimate source, which is the SUN to other living organisms. Plants, algae and some bacteria have the ability to capture energy from the SUN using pigments in their CHLOROPLAST in a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS, which they use to synthesize their food. The process of photosynthesis requires CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) and WATER (H20) to make GLUCOSE (C6H12O6) and OXYGEN (02) gas.

However, on the contrary, virtually all living organisms including: Plants, animals, fungi, protists, and most bacteria etc. release energy via an organelle called MITOCHONDRIA in a process called RESPIRATION. The process of respiration requires GLUCOSE (C6H12O6) and OXYGEN (02) to make CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) and WATER.

What is the significane of a gene promoter and why is it important

Serhud [2]

This Allows organisms such as bacteria to rapidly adjust their transcription patterns in response to environmental conditions. in addition regulatory sites on prokaryotic DNA are typically located close to transcription promoter sites - and this plays an important part in gene expression
