Geology is a branch of natural science that studies rocks, how they form, etc.

This field of study enabled us to know the age of Earth, the different layers that make up earth amongst many other things.


Hope it helped,

Imagine you do a test cross between a purple-flowered pea plant having serrated leaves (a dominant trait) and a white-flowered p
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

genes for flower color and edge shape are linked. They do not assort independently.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • test cross between a purple-flowered pea plant having serrated leaves and a white-flowered pea plant having smooth edges.
  • serrated leaves → dominant trait
  • smooth edges → recessive trait
  • purple color → dominant trait
  • white color → recessive trait
  • F1: 4 purple-serrated:1 purple-smooth:1 white-serrated:4 white-smooth.

There are two genes involved in the cross. The expected ratios are 1:1:1:1 because we assume genes assort independently. However, we see a different phenotypic distribution. When phenotypic ratios differ from the expected ones, it means that genes are linked.

To know if two genes are linked in the same chromosome, we must observe the progeny distribution. If individuals, whose genes assort independently, are test crossed, they produce a progeny with equal phenotypic frequencies 1:1:1:1. But if instead of this distribution, we observe a different one, that is that phenotypes appear in different proportions, we can assume that genes are linked in the double heterozygote parent

Why is a frameshift missense mutation more likely to have a severe effect on phenotype than a nucleotide-pair substitution misse
Aneli [31]

Explanation:

A single nucleotide-pair substitution missense mutation causes a change of a single amino acid into another. Aa a result, the produced protein will have an almost normal sequence except for one amino acid.

On the other hand, a frameshift mutation changes the Open Reading Frame (ORF) of the ribosome. The ribosome moves along the mRNA every three nucleotides (codons) and translates them into amino acids that will form the nascent protein. If there is a frameshift mutation (an insertion or deletion of a number of nucleotides not multiple of three) the ribosome will "read" the mRNA differently and will identify different codons than the wild-type sequence, so a large number of amino acids will be different in the mutated protein.

) which is not a major function of the kidney? which is the normal ph range of urine in humans?
inysia [295]
I am not sure what the answer(s) for, "which is not a major function of the kidney?" is but I can guess that your answer for that question might be, regulation of blood cell size. Also, the normal ph range of urine in humans is 6! I hope this helps!
