If a horticulturist breeding gardenias succeeds in having a single plant with a particularly desirable set of traits, which of t

he following would be her most probable and efficient route to establishing a line of such plants?A) Backtrack through her previous experiments to obtain another plant with the same traits.B) Breed this plant with another plant with much weaker traitsC) Clone the plant.D) Force the plant to self-pollinate to obtain an identical one

Answer:

C) Clone the plant

Explanation:

Cloning is the process by which genetically identical offsprings are obtained naturally or artificially. In nature, genetically similar individuals or offsprings are obtained from asexual reproduction.  

If a horticulturist succeeds in having a single plant with the desired trait than to establish a line of such plant she should clone the plant so that the plants which are obtained after cloning have the same traits which were present in the parent plant. Therefore the correct answer is C.

Identify and briefly describe three (3) of the main contributors to ground water pollution.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Water pollution may be defined as the contamination of the unwanted substance or pollutant with water that changes the normal characteristics of water. Three main contributors of ground water are as follows:

Chemical farming: The use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields and its direct run off in river and groundwater causes the water pollution.

Industrial waste: The industrial waste consists of harmful chemicals and heavy metals. The direct discharge of chemical waste in the lakes, ground water and ponds makes the water dirty and causes water pollution.

Effluent from waste water treatment plant: The effluent and the harmful chemical waste release from the waste water treatment plant is the major contributor to the ground water. The effluents mix with the ground water and changes the ground water property.

The following are the steps for B-cell activation. The steps are in an incorrect order.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

4. B cells become activated by interacting with helper T cells.  

1. B cells display antigens in MHC class II receptors on the cell surface.  

2. Antibodies released by plasma cells bind to the antigen so they will be destroyed by other cells of the immune system.

3.B cells rearrange their DNA to create a unique B-cell receptor.  

5. B cells undergo clonal expansion.

6. B cells digest antigens that bind to the antibodies on their surface.

Explanation:

B-cells get activated by interacting with helper T cells when they bind to the antigen to receptors i.e (MHC class II receptors on the cell surface) on the surface of the cell. Series of activities such as release by plasma cells which cause rearrangement of B cells causes the cell to divide and proliferate. The process through which daughter cells arise from a parent cell called clonal expansion.

At the end of meiosis II, how does the DNA in each of the four new cells compare to the DNA from the original cell?
Olin [163]

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a long chain molecule that plays a central role in life on earth. The information encoded in strands of DNA controls the genetic makeup of organisms. The DNA molecule has a backbone of sugars and phosphate groups off of which hang simpler units called nucleotide bases.
