The question is incomplete and the complete question is
Suppose that ear length in rabbits is controlled by two additive genes, each of which has two alleles. A true-breeding female (aabb) with 6-cm ears is mated to a true-breeding male (AABB) with 16-cm ears.
Answer:
AABb or AaBB
Explanation:
We know that,
aabb genotype - 6 cm
AABB genotype- 16-cm
To calculate the length of earlobe contributed by each allele in a genotype is :
1. length of aabb/4 or 6/4= 1.5 cm (a and b contribute for 1.5 cm each)
2. Length of AABB/4 or 16/4= 4 cm (A and B contribute for 4 cm each)
Now to have the earlobe to be 13.5 cm long then the genotype must be
13.5 = 4+4+4+1.5 or A+A+B+b or A+a+B+B
Therefore, the genotype will be-either AABb or AaBB
Dominant- determines the dominant character, more frequently found in the population, produces the complete polypeptide, does not require the presence of a similar gene, more likely to be inherited, more prone to produce diseases
recessive- responsible for the recessive character, expresses the recessive trait, produces an incomplete polypeptide, requires the presence of a similar gene, less likely to be inherited, less prone to produce disease
Answer:
c) A cell must have the appropriate receptor before it can bind to the hormone.
Explanation:
Hormones are chemical signals that are secreted into the circulatory system acting as regulators within the body, and even though they can reach any part on the body, <em>only certain types of cells are equipped to respond, these cells are known as target cells, when the hormone reaches a cell with an adequate receptors it triggers a signal transduction and then a response.</em>
Therefore the correct answer is c.

Answer:
Hydrogen bonding is caused by the tendency of some atoms in molecules to attract electrons more than their accompanying atom. This gives the molecule a permanent dipole moment – it makes it polar – so it acts like a magnet and attracts the opposite end of other polar molecules.
Answer:
With respect to the composition of DNA, in an analysis it can be found that the proportions of nucleotides are A + C = G + T (option a).
Explanation:
The proportion of nucleotides in a DNA molecule can be established according to the sequence of these nucleotides on both complementary strands, since the purinic bases of one strand are complemented by the pyrimidinic bases of another:
- <em>Adenine is complemented with Thymine A=T</em>
- <em>Guanine is complemented with Cytosine G=C</em>
From this we can deduce that in a DNA molecule with two chains there will be the same amount of adenine and thymine, as well as the same number of guanine with respect to cytosine, so:
<em> A + C = G + T</em>
An example of this would be a known DNA molecule (hypothetical), with 5 molecules of Adenine and 7 molecules of Guanine. In this case there are 5 Thymines, complementary with Adenine, and 7 Cytosines like Guanine:
<em> A + C = G + T</em>
<em> 5 + 7 = 7 + 5</em>
