Which of the following statements correctly describes how Mendel accounted for the observation that traits had disappeared in th

e F1 generation and then reappeared in the F2 generation?
A) Traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were "hidden" by the dominant ones in the F1.
B) New mutations were frequently generated in the F2 progeny, causing traits that had been lost in the F1 to reappear in the F2.
C) Members of the F1 generation had only one allele for each trait, but members of the F2 had two alleles for each trait.
D) The mechanism controlling the appearance of traits was different between the F1 and the F2 plants.

Answer:

A) Traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were "hidden" by the dominant ones in the F1.

Explanation:

Mendel discovered the fundamental theory of heredity: that inheritance involves the passing of genes (he called it discrete units of inheritance), from parents to offspring. Those genes are with two alleles in the genotype, one inherited from the father and other inherited from the mother.

When he cross-bred pure-bred parent (always produced offspring identical to the parent) plants dominant traits were always seen in the offspring, while recessive traits were hidden until the first-generation (F1) hybrid plants were left to self-pollinate. Mendel also noticed that in second-generation (F2) of the offspring 3:1 was ratio of dominant to recessive traits.

Answer:

The one treated with DNase and protease

Explanation:

<em>The samples that will transform yellow into purple if RNA is the genetic material are the ones treated with </em><em>DNase </em><em>and </em><em>protease</em><em> respectively.</em>

<u>The treatment of the heat-killed sample of the purple life with DNase will ensure that the DNA in the sample becomes degraded while treatment with protease will ensure that protein is degraded, leaving only the RNA. Thus, the RNA can be taken up by the yellow life form and become transformed into purple if indeed RNA is the genetic material.</u>

The sample treated with RNase cannot transform the yellow life into purple because the RNase catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components.

The following image shows a cell before and during the process of mitosis. Before it undergoes mitosis, the cell contains 2n chr
svlad2 [7]

The correct answer is B: The cells will have 2n chromosomes and be diploid.

Diploid cell have two of each chromosome, one from each parent. When diploid cell undergoes mitosis, the result is two identical diploid cells (when haploid cell undergoes mitosis the result is haploid cell). This means that during the mitosis, cells reproduce genetically identical copies of themselves.

What is the point at which DNA strand is unzipped so that it can form new complimentary strands?
Sloan [31]
DNA is unzipped by helicase at the origin of replication. There are several origins of replications in eukaryotic DNA replication, while only one in prokaryotic replication.
