Answer:
a. The allele for round seeds is dominant to the allele for wrinkled seeds.
Explanation:
Mendel found that when two pure breeding plants that differ from each other with respect to one genetic trait are crossed, all the progeny express the phenotype of one parent. The phenotype of the other parent is not expressed in the progeny. He concluded that the genetic trait that is expressed in the F1 generation is dominant over the other which is masked in this generation.
A cross between pure breeding plants for round seeds and the wrinkled seeds obtained all the round seeded progeny. This meant that the phenotype "round" was dominant over the phenotype "wrinkled". If the allele "R" gave round phenotype and the allele "r" imparted wrinkled phenotype, the allele "R" was dominant to the "r".
Cells that have no mitochondria are unable to convert oxygen into energy, found in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). All multicellular eukaryotic organisms, including plants and animals, have mitochondria in some cells, but prokaryotes and some single-cell eukaryotes do not have mitochondria.
Answer:
There are different types of proteins present which are made of amino acid sub-units. Proteins play various important functions in an organism's body. Some of these functions are:
- Growth and maintenance of cells and individuals.
- Antibodies are proteins which provide immunity.
- Enzymes are proteins which catalyze different reactions.
- Many proteins allow movement of substances inside and outside of the cell membrane. They are known as carrier proteins.
- Many proteins serve as structural proteins.
Answer:
The correct answer is- Histone
Explanation:
DNA is approximately 2.2 m long thread which has to be adjusted in a microscopic nucleus so DNA must be in a supercoiled form to be present in the nucleus and this supercoiling of DNA is done on histone protein.
Histone protein is a positively charged protein that is made up of eight proteins so it is called histone octamer. Each histone has 2 copies of each protein that is H2A, H2B, H3, and H4.
DNA is negatively charged and histone protein is positively charged therefore DNA wraps around histone protein which causes the packaging of DNA. So the correct answer is histone protein.
