Biology
1 answer:
antoniya [11.8K]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer will be option C- A structure upon which proteins are assembled.

Explanation:

A ribosome is a complex molecule machine formed of proteins and rRNA molecules which acts as a site for the synthesis of the proteins.

These ribosomes are present in the cell as a free entity suspended in the cytosol or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Each ribosome is made up of a large and small component which translates the information coded in the mRNA in the form of codons to amino acids which join to form proteins.

Thus, option- C is the correct answer.

Gregor Mendel's research consisted of using parent pea plants that were pure breeds. What genotype(s) would be considered pure b
laila [671]

Answer:

The genotypes thatwould be considered pure breeds are BB and bb

Explanation:

The genotype of an organism refers to an organism's complete set of genetic material or genes.

Genes are units of DNA that carries information for a particular physical or functional trait or character in an organism. Some genes act as instructions to make proteins while some genes do not code for proteins. The proteins made by a gene expresses the traits and characters of that organisms. Genes for a particular trait may have one or more variants known as alleles.

In Gregor Mendel's research using pea plants, flower colour in a pea plant had two different alleles; one for red flower colour and one for white flower colour. If a plant had the same allele for flower colour, the plant was considered a pure breed.

For example, given B was the allele for red flower colour and b was the allele for white flower colour, a plant having the two alleles for white flower colour bb, is a pure breed. Similarly, a plant having the two alleles for red flower colour, BB is a true breed.

A 10 N book is held 2 meters above the ground. How much work is done?* 1p
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The work done is 20J

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Force, F = 10N

Distance, x = 2m

Work done, W = ?

We know,

Work = Force X distance

On substituting the value we get:

W = 10 X 2 J

W = 20J

Therefore, the work done is 20J
