A plant with round seeds is crossed with another plant with round seeds. Round are dominant over oval seeds. When two heterozygo

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This is a typical monohybrid cross involving a single gene coding for seed shape in a plant. The allele for round seeds (R) is dominant over the allele for oval seeds (r) i.e. the round shape will mask the expression of the oval shape in a heterozygous state (Rr).

Hence, in a cross between two heterozygous parents (Rr), alleles on chromosomes will randomly separate into gametes according to Mendel's law of segregation to produce gametes with R and r allele each. When these alleles from male and female parent combine, four offsprings with RR, Rr, Rr and rr genotypes will be produced.

RR, Rr and Rr genotypes will be phenotypically round-seeded while rr will be phenotypically oval-seeded. Therefore, 3/4 × 100 = 75% of the offsprings will be round-seeded.

(protein)?
belka [17]

Answer:

Since, the original DNA sequence has not been provided, the mutation can be an insertion/deletion or a frameshift mutation.

  1. Mutated DNA
  2. Frameshift mutation/ insertion or deletion
  3. All the amino acids  changed after the  point mutation​

Explanation:

Frameshift Mutation:

  • A frameshift mutation is the alteration in the reading frame of the DNA due to the addition/deletion of one or two nucleotides.
  • This type of mutation moves the mRNA sequence one or two bases forwards or backwards which disrupts the three base codons sequence required for translation into proteins.
  • The CT at the end of the sequence is indicative of a frameshift in the DNA reading frame.
  • Frameshift mutation affect all amino acids in a polypeptide chain as all codons are moved one or two steps forwards or backwards.

Describe the chemical components of DNA.
Slav-nsk [51]

DNA is composed of nucleotides, which are composed of three parts:

1. A five carbon carbohydrate (pentose)

Pentose is classified as a monosaccharide (simple carbohydrate), and its molecular formula is represented by (CH_{2} O)n. They are water soluble molecules with sweet taste. Monosaccharides may have from three carbon atoms (trioses) to six (hexoses). In DNA is present pentose (5 carbon atoms)

2. A nitrogenous base

Nitrogenous bases are ring-shaped compounds that contain nitrogen in their molecular structure. They are classified into two groups: purines and pyrimidines

The purine bases are adenine (A) and guanine (G). They are larger and contain more than one ring in their structure,.

The pyrimidines, cytosine (C), uracil (U) and thymine (T), are smaller and composed of a single ring.

3. One or more phosphate groups

A phosphate consists of a trivalent anion that contains one phosphorus atom and four oxygen atoms. Its molecular formula is expressed by (PO_{4} ^{-3}).

dexar [7]

I am not entirely sure what you mean by "responding variable" but I'm going to guess  it was the vinegar since it has been used as a  perservative for years.

Hope that helps in some way.
