Answer:
a. S represents allele for short hair while s represents allele for long hair.
b. Ss (male) × ss (female)
c. 50% Ss, 50% ss
d. 3 long hair (ss), 3 short hair (Ss)
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s).
a. Letter "S" will represent the allele for short hair while letter "s" will represent the allele for long hair.
b. According to this question, a heterozygous male is crossed with a long-haired female. The genotype of the male guinea pig is "Ss" while that of the female is "ss". (see attachment for the punnet square)
c. The possible genotypes of the offsprings in this cross are: Ss and ss, each carrying 50% each as they are produced in a ½ Ss: ½ ss.
d. Since 50% of the offsprings will be both short haired and long haired, If they have six babies, 3 of them will be short-haired while 3 of them will also be long-haired.
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
A biological species can be defined as the concept which includes the group of individual which lives in one or more population that can reproduce among each other to produce viable species.
Speciation is the phenomenon by which one group of species gets separated from another. The species gets diverge due to reproductive isolation or due to geographical isolation.
Hence, the correct answer is option C
Answer:
TRANSCRIPTION
Explanation:
Transcription is the first process that occurs in the expression of a gene. It involves the synthesis of a mRNA molecule from a DNA template. The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of an eukaryotic cell, is bound to by an enzyme called RNA polymerase in order to synthesize an mRNA molecule/strand.
RNA polymerase synthesizes a mRNA molecule using complementary base pairing rule i.e. Uracil base (U) is synthesized when Adenine (A) is read, Adenine when Thymine (T) is read, Guanine (G) when cytosine (C) is read, Cytosine when guanine is read. These nucleotide bases are then joined together via chemical bonding.
In a nutshell, RNA polymerase catalyzes the formation of a bond between the backbone sugar of one nucleotide base to the backbone phosphate of another nucleotide base in the metabolic process of TRANSCRIPTION.
Answer:absorption and secretion
Explanation:
The main function of epithelial cells with large amount of cytoplasm is absorption and secretion. They're usually present sweat and oil glands of the skin due to its secretive function.
A B C OR D it would most likely be D all of the above :)
