If an individual homozygous dominant for widow's peak has a child with an individual heterozygous for widow's peak, what is the

chance that the child will have a widow's peak?

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

Let PP represent homozygous dominant trait for widow's peak &

Let Pp represent  an individual heterozygous for widow's peak.

If both traits cross together;  the chance that the child will have a widow's peak = ???

i.e PP × Pp

   |     P     |     P

P  |    PP   |     PP        

p  |    Pp   |     Pp

The progeny are: ( PP, PP, Pp, Pp)    

When a trait is dominant, only one allele is required for the trait to be observed. A dominant allele will mask a recessive allele, if present.

From our question, one  parent is homozygous dominant (PP) and the other is  heterozygous (Pp):  therefore  all their offspring will be  two homozygous dominant (PP) and two heterozygous  (Pp) and they will all possess a widow’s peak.

Therefore, the chance that a child will have a widow's peak = 100%

What is true about the lagging strand during DNA replication?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

There are not only one but two correct option, which are A and B.

DNA polymerases begin their synthesis at many points of initiation. Following the binding of specific proteins, the double helix opens to allow startup.


DNA synthesis begins on RNA / DNA primers consisting of primase and DNA polymerase a. The replication continues in one direction: in this sense one of the two strands of the DNA ("direct" strand) is traversed by the enzyme in the 3 '→ 5' direction, which allows the synthesis of another strand in the direction 5 '→ 3'. The DNA-ligases then provide the link between the different fragments of the new DNA.


The synthesis of the other strand ("delayed" strand) is more complex because the enzyme travels this strand from 5 '→ 3'. The primase and DNA polymerase α synthesize 30 nucleotide primers in front of the replication zone, and the DNA polymerase constructs small DNA fragments in the 5 '→ 3' direction (approximately 200 nucleotides; Okazaki). Ribonucleases destroy the RNA / DNA primers of the previous fragment and the fragments are then linked together by DNA ligase.

Which of the following normally occurs during mitosis?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

b. Replicated chromosomes line up on the equatorial plate.

Explanation:

Mitosis starts with the breakdown of the nuclear envelop and condensation of chromatids into visible chromosomes. Since DNA replication has occurred during the S-phase of interphase, each chromosome has two sister chromatids held together by a centromere. A chromosome with two sister chromatids is said to be a replicated chromosome.

Metaphase of mitosis includes the alignment of replicated chromosomes at the cell's equator. The process is assisted by the spindle apparatus. This is followed by splitting of centromere and separation of sister chromatids during anaphase.
