Explain reproduction as attribute of Living Organism(long answer type question)​

Biology
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Reproduction (or procreation or breeding) is the biological process by which new individual organisms – "offspring" – are produced from their "parents". Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all known life; each individual organism exists as the result of reproduction. There are two forms of reproduction: asexual and sexual.

In asexual reproduction, an organism can reproduce without the involvement of another organism. Asexual reproduction is not limited to single-celled organisms. The cloning of an organism is a form of asexual reproduction. By asexual reproduction, an organism creates a genetically similar or identical copy of itself. The evolution of sexual reproduction is a major puzzle for biologists. The two-fold cost of sexual reproduction is that only 50% of organisms reproduce[1] and organisms only pass on 50% of their genes.[2]

Veins returning to the heart can close to prevent the backflow of blood. Which component in the veins contributes to this proces
givi [52]
Compared to arteries, valves have no pulse, have thin walls and have valves that prevent backflow of the blood. The pressure in the veins is less than that of the arteries, hence, there is no pulse. They are nearer to the surface of the skin. It also connects arteries and capillaries which transport blood all throughout the circulatory system.

If 1000 f2 offspring are obtained, how many flies of each phenotype are expected?
aniked [119]
<span>In Drosophila + indicates wild-type allele for any gene, m is mahogany and e is ebony. Female parents are m+/m+ and males are +e/+e. F1 are m+/+e, all wild type. F1 females are crossed with me/me males - the test cross. Offspring will be : non recombinant m+/me, mahogany wild type or +e/me wild type ebony. OR recombinant me/me mahogany ebony or ++/++ wild type. As the two genes are 25 map units apart, the percentage of recombinants will be 25% and therefore percentage parental types will be 75%. 75% 1000 is 750. There are two parental types, so you would expect 375 of each. Therefore, you would expect 375 m+/me and 375 +e/me. 25% of 1000 is 250 split between two recombinants =125 of each. Therefore you would expect 135 me/me and 125 ++/++</span>
