If you have a pet cockroach with a brown body, how could you find out if it is

Biology

Answer:

by testcrossing with a homozygous recessive partner

Explanation:

<u>If a pet cockroach exists whose zygosity is unknown, this can be determined by a test cross. A test cross involves crossing an organisms whose zygosity is unknown with a partner that is homozygous recessive for the same trait.</u>

Let us assume that brown body is represented by the allele B, the dominant allele. The homozygous recessive version would be bb.

The genotype of a brown cockroach whose zygosity is not known can be denoted as B_, where '_' can be a 'B' or a 'b'.

When B_ is crossed with bb:

B_   x   bb

Progeny

2 Bb

2 _b

The phenotype of Bb would be brown (since B is dominant over b) while the phenotype of _b would depend on the zygosity level of the cockroach.

If the unknown genotype is BB, then _b becomes Bb and the phenotype will be a brown body. This means that all the progeny will appear brown. (<em>see the first attached image for the Punnet's square</em>)

In other word, if the unknown genotype is bb, then _b becomes bb and the phenotype will be a alternate color (non-brown) body. This means that 50% of the progeny will appear brown while the remaining 50% will be in the alternate color. (<em>attached</em>

What are new stars that are found in the spiral arms and formed from recycled dead star material known as?
Arada [10]

Answer:

population I stars.

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

The luminosity of a star can be defined as the total amount of light radiated by the star per second and it is measured in watts (w). Also, the apparent brightness of a star is a measure of the rate at which radiated energy from a star reaches an observer on Earth per square meter per second. The apparent brightness of a star is typically measured in watts per square meter.

Some of the examples of stars are; Canopus, Sun (closest to the Earth), Betelgeus, Antares, Vega etc.

New stars that are found in the spiral arms and formed from recycled dead star material are known as population I stars. Also, it comprises of association and clusters formed a million or billion years ago in the spiral arms of Milky Way galaxy.

A galaxy can be defined as a collection or group of many billions of stars and other planetary body which are existing independently.

Which describes the basic structure of a fatty acid?
True [87]
Fatty acids and glycerol best describes the basic structure of lipids. Fatty acids is one of the major components of triglyceride. It is a form of lipids that is used to store energy. Fatty acids are composed largely of a chain carbon atoms bonded with hydrogen atoms. At one of the ends of fatty acids is called carboxyl group. In terms of number of carbons, they are typically an even numbers.

If you were to repeat the Meselson Stahl experiments, but rather than use N15 and N14, you use P32 and P31, how would the result
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

The CsCl gradient centrifugation in Meselson Stahl experiments is done to separate the bands of the DNA containing isotopes on the basis of difference in the density.

In the experiment, bacterial cultures were grown in the medium of 15N and 14N but if we repeat the experiment with P32 and P31 instead of 15N and 14N and centrifugation is performed then the banding pattern will be the same as of the previous experiment as the method of the replication is same that is semi-conservative.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
