DNA is the very basic structure of someone traits. That's is where everything about a person from their eye color to how tall they will be is explained. It is unique like a finger print. There is no one in the world that shares the same DNA. Not even identical twins have the same DNA. Sometimes similar but never the same.

DNA carries the "codes" that communicate what traits will be formed. The nucleotides in DNA are read and transcribed into mRNA which travels ot of the cells nucleus and then goes to a ribosome. In the ribosome, tRNA matches to mRNA with its anticodon. Each of the tRNA molecules are carrying an amino acid which are all connected by the ribosome to create an amino acid chain, which is a protein, which are traits in an organisms.

OLga [1]

Answer:

1/3 of black F2 progeny will be homozygous.

Explanation:

Here, BB = black coat color = true breeding dominant black strain

bb = white coat color =  true breeding recessive white strain

When true breeding black and white guinea pigs are mated to give F1 progeny:

BB X bb = Bb ( all black guinea pigs )

When two of the F1 guinea pigs are mated to give F2 progeny:

Bb X Bb = BB, Bb, Bb, bb

F2 progeny has 3/4 progeny as black (BB and Bb) . Out of them 1/3 are homozygous and 2/3 are heterozygous.

Hence, 1/3 of black F2 progeny will be homozygous.

A cell with a diploid number of 2n = 8 undergoes mitosis. How many
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

8

Explanation:

Mitosis, a type of cellular division, involves the division into two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. They are genetically identical in the sense that the daughter cells contain the exact same DNA sequence as the parent cell and also, the chromosome number does not change.

In this case, a cell is said to have a diploid number (2n) of 8 chromosomes. It will therefore, undergo mitosis to produce two daughter cells with 8 chromosomes each. For this reason, mitosis is called MULTIPLICATION DIVISION.
