It has been suggested that scientists should attempt to genetically engineer a plant to have black leaves so that it would perfo

Answer:

Black color absorb more light that other color.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process in which leaves absorb solar energy and use it to convert CO2 and H2O into chemical energy called glucose(food).  

As photosynthesis is dependent on the sunlight energy therefore it has been suggested to scientists that they should genetically engineer a plant to have black leaves as black color absorbs more sunlight than any other color. Black color absorb all the wavelength of sunlight and it does not reflect any.

So more light absorbance capability of black color should be the reason behind this idea.

Looking through a light microscope at a dividing cell, you see two separate groups of chromosomes on opposite ends of the cell.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Option D, telophase

Explanation:

Telophase is the last stage of mitosis cell division in which the duplicated genetic material gets arranged into two identical daughter cells. In generals, this phase begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have separated and arranged themselves on two opposite sides, or poles of the cells. After this, nuclear envelope begins to form around the chromosomes. After telophase, the cell undergoes cytokinesis to divide the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two daughter cells.

Hence, option D is correct

Answer:

When we talk about the inheritance of traits, or the passage of traits from parents to future generations down the line, we are not just talking about the visual (phenotypical) expression of those traits, but also, their underlying explanation, which is the genotype. A genotype is basically how the genes of the parents combine in such a way that the children inherit a set of traits from the parents, and express them phenotypically, or not.

In the case of blood types, we have four phenotypic groups: A, B and O. Each one of these types is characterized by the underlying set of genes that are responsible for what is expressed. While the O blood type presents a genotype ii, which is recessive, the A and B types will have the following genetic patterns: Ia Ia, or, Ia i (characteristic of the O genetic material) for the A type and: Ib Ib, or Ib i, for the B type. When there is a genetic conjugation from parents genetic material, regarding blood type, we would have these sets of genes combining. In most of the possible combinations genetically speaking, we have the recessive i gene appearing, including in the A and B dominant blood types. This means that when crossed, there will always be a chance of at least one offspring presenting the O blood type, even if one of the parents is dominant A, or B.

In answer: it is the fact that all three types present the recessive allele i, typical of the O blood type, that when pairings of genes happen between parents, the genetic characteristic of the O type may present itself in a dominant fashion, instead of the usual recessive pattern.
