A hydrangea plant has blue flowers when grown in acidic soil, but has pink flowers when grown in basic soil. A clone of the pink

-flowered plant is grown in acidic soil and produces blue flowers. This change in flower color is most likely due to:
A. sexual reproduction in the plants, resulting in variation
B. asexual reproduction in the plants, resulting in variation
C. genes being expressed in different ways due to environmental conditions
D. a gene mutation that occurred after the clone was produced

<h2>C) is the correct option</h2>

Explanation:

The change observed in flower color is most likely due to genes being expressed in different ways due to environmental conditions

  • Genes control a particular trait or characteristic in an organism or plant
  • In the given plant (Hydrangea), it has blue flowers when grown in acidic soil and has pink flowers when grown in basic soil but the clone of pink flowered plant grown in acidic soil produces blue flowers
  • Here, acidic and basic soils are the external environmental conditions and difference in flower color is decided by the type of soil in which plant is grown

A gene is considered to be non-Mendelian in its inheritance pattern if it seems to "violate" Mendel's laws. Which of the followi
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

A gene transmitted to males from the maternal line and from fathers to daughters.

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel through his research on pea plants, came up with three laws which are:

  1. <em> The Law of Segregation of genes: Each inherited trait is defined by a pair of  gene alleles. Genes are randomly separated to the sex cells so that sex cells contain only one allele of the pair.  </em>
  2. <em>The Law of Dominance: An organism with alternate forms of a gene will express the form that is dominant. </em>
  3. <em>The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits are sorted separately from one another so that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of another. </em>

<em></em>

In His work, he established the basic patterns of inheritance and it wasn't until after his death that sex linked inheritance patterns were identified.

He believed that a pair of genes called alleles, were transmitted, each allele from one parent and both alleles transmitted from each parent constituted the complete pair in the offspring.

However, if different variants of the same gene were inherited from both parents, the dominant gene is expressed in the offspring (phenotype).

Since the basis of his work established genes being equally transmitted by both parents to offspring, the variations being due to dominance, genes transmitted from mother to son and from father to daughter, follows the Mendelian pattern of inheritance.

What is the role of primase is the process of bacterial dna replication? g?
DiKsa [7]
<span>Primase is the enzyme that synthesizes small fragments of RNA in the strand lagging in DNA replication. The primase does not need a primer to synthesize and the RNA residues are removed by DNA polymerase I, due to their exonuclease capacity and filled with DNA fragments also by DNA Pol I. Finally, all these discontinuous DNA segments are linked by a ligase.</span>
