<u>Answer:</u>
A mating of two people of medium height (where three genes control height): AaBbCc x AaBbCc produce <u>Seven</u> distinct phenotypes determined by the number of genes inherited.
Option: (D)
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Traits are the characters that we observe. When the parents AaBbCc and AaBbCc are crossed then AABBCC and aabbcc are two different dominant and recessive genomes seen in the offspring.
- Offspring with AABBCC will be height whereas aabbcc will be dwarf. There will be offspring with different heights depending upon the dominant and recessive gene present in them.
- Another genome produced are AABBCc/AaBBCC/AABbCC, next will have four dominant and 2 recessive, next will have 3 dominant and 3 recessive AaBbCc, next will have 2 dominant and 4 recessive, one dominant and five recessive. All together offspring produced will be 64
Answer:
This question is not well structured. Based on understanding, the correct structure should be: How are the processes of photosynthesis and respiration opposites of one another?
They are opposite because photosynthesis uses the products of cellular respiration and vice versa.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are both metabolic processes that occurs within the cells of living organisms. Photosynthesis is the process where green plants synthesize food (sugar) in the presence of sunlight using carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). The general equation is as follows:
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
On the other hand, respiration is the process whereby cells of living organisms synthesize usable energy (ATP) for use by breaking down glucose (C6H12O6) in the presence of oxygen. The equation is as follows:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
Based on the observation of the reactants and products of each process, it can be realized that the PRODUCTS of one process is the REACTANTS of the other. In other words, photosynthesis makes use of CO2 and water as REACTANTS, which are the PRODUCTS of respiration while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen as REACTANTS, which are PRODUCTS of photosynthesis.
Answer: C. Cells in meiosis have unique genetic information
Explanation: Meiosis is the cell division that forms four daughter cells from one parent cell. It includes two successive divisions called as meiosis I and meiosis II. Crossing over during prophase I of meiosis I imparts new gene combinations to the daughter cells of meiosis. Hence, daughter cells formed by the end of meiosis have some new gene combinations, that is, unique genetic information.
Answer:
The correct answer is - to protect the cells of these secretory glands from pepsin.
Explanation:
Pepsinogen is an inactive form of enzyme pepsin that is released by specific cells called chief cells within the gastric lining Releasing the inactive form of pepsin in preventing the auto-digestion of protective proteins and the cells of these secretory glands in the lining of the digestive tract.
Pepsinogen is activated by acidic pH to pepsin of the stomach lumen and the cell lining of the stomach is protected by mucus lining.
