How can a punnett square predict the traits of offsprings

Biology

Anna35 [415]3 years ago
3 0

A punnet square predict the traits of offspring genetic crosses and test crosses.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In pea plants, the traits or characteristics inheritance is been observed and studies by Gregor Mendel. A model was proposed by him, in which the characteristics or traits are specified from genes. Genes can take different alleles or versions. The appearance of an organism can be determined by the dominant alleles. These hides the characteristics of recessive alleles.

The law of segregation is, When gametes are made by an organism the copy of one gene is passed to each gametes. The combinations of allele which is genotype, and the phenotypes which are the characteristics that are observable can be predicted by a Punnett square. This is done by  genetic crosses. In order to predict whether the organism is heterozygous or homozygous can be determined by a test crosses.

What are the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? Focus on cells from microscopy lab?
pishuonlain [190]

Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus. Eukaryotes can be single-celled or multi-celled, such as you, me, plants, fungi, and insects. Bacteria are an example of prokaryotes. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelle.

There are several key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells are found in multicellular plants and animals, whereas prokaryotic cells are found in bacteria and archaea which are ususlly unicellular. I have summarised the key differences below:

Prokayotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum or mitochondria.

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, instead they have circular DNA that is free in the cytoplasm.

Prokaryotic cells have smaller ribosomes than eukaryotic cells.

Prokaryotic cells have a cell wall. Their cell wall is made from a different material to a plant cell, a glycoprotein called murein.

Prokaryotic cells may also have a protective layer called a capsule, flagellum to aid in movement and one or more plasmids.

How does calcium form an ion?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: By losing its two outermost electron

Explanation:

Calcium is a element that belongs to group 2 in the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 20, and an electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 2.

Hence, to form an octet structure, it gives off its two electrons as shown below:

Ca <----> Ca2+ + 2e-

Thus, by losing its two outermost electrons, a positively charged calcium ion (Ca2+) is formed
