Biology
1 answer:

Answer:

B. There are several genes that control the color.

Explanation:

According to the description of the trait in this question in which the plant exhibits a wide range of colors from green to yellow, it shows that the trait for color in such plant is controlled by two or more (several) genes. This kind of inheritance is called a POLYGENIC INHERITANCE.

Polygenic inheritance is a kind of non-mendelian inheritance (does not follow the principles of Mendel) in which phenotypic traits of an organism is controlled by several genes. Each gene possess two alleles, which equally contribute to the phenotypic expression of such trait. Traits controlled by polygenes do not conform to Mendel's laws of inheritance as the offsprings exhibit a range of traits from the mixture of parental traits as stated in the question.

In polygenic inheritance, most of the offsprings exhibit the intermediate phenotype (between green and yellow) with few extremes (green and yellow) due to a combination of the genes in the parental phenotypes. Hence, based on the description in the question, there are several genes that control the color trait in the plant.

Learning objective: 12.08.05 describe the initiation and propagation of depolarization and repolarization.
denis-greek [22]
Depolarization is initiated when there is an influx of sodium inside the cell as opposed to repolarization, where potassium exits the cell (occurring after Na+ gates close). Remember that for every 3 Na+ in, there is 2 K+ out. This imbalance helps to stabilize the membrane.

What type of pathogens do antibiotics fight against
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:Antibiotics are powerful medicines that fight bacterial infections. They either kill bacteria or stop them from reproducing, allowing the body's natural defenses to eliminate the pathogens. Used properly, antibiotics can save lives. But growing antibiotic resistance is curbing the effectiveness of these drugs.

Select TWO events that occur when a neurotransmitter binds and activates an excitatory synapse.
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Key points

Neurons communicate with one another at junctions called synapses. At a synapse, one neuron sends a message to a target neuron—another cell.

Most synapses are chemical; these synapses communicate using chemical messengers. Other synapses are electrical; in these synapses, ions flow directly between cells.

At a chemical synapse, an action potential triggers the presynaptic neuron to release neurotransmitters. These molecules bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell and make it more or less likely to fire an action potential.
