Answer:

Green peas if it does not have a dominant allele for yellow peas.

Explanation:

In pea plants, yellow is the dominant allele color of peas and green is the recessive allele color of the pea. So the genotype that makes yellow color pea is YY or Yy and the genotype that is responsible for producing green color pea is only YY.

This shows that homozygous dominant or heterozygous dominant condition gives rise to yellow color pea and only homozygous recessive condition would give rise to green color pea plants.

Therefore if a pea plant has the recessive allele for green peas it will produce green peas if it does not have a dominant allele for yellow peas.

Why does the kidney need 1 million nephrons instead of one whole unit to carry out its function

Andreas93 [3]

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs on either side of your spine, below your ribs and behind your belly. Each kidney is about 4 or 5 inches long, roughly the size of a large fist. The kidneys' job is to filter your blood.

mafiozo [28]

The separation of the sister chromatids during the cell division occurs in the anaphase in mitosis and anaphase II in meiosis.

During the anaphase in mitosis, and the anaphase II of the meiosis, the chromosomes aligned at the center of the nucleus separates and the sister chromatids of the chromosomes starts moving towards the opposite poles as the spindle fibers starts contracting.

how can a mutaion affect protein synthesis by a cell? Do you think there are different consequence if it happens in a gamete cel

zmey [24]

Answer/Explanation:

A mutation alters the sequence of DNA. Therefore, the mRNA that is transcribed from the DNA has a different sequence.

This mRNA goes on to be read by the protein synthesis machinery in the cell. The protein synthesis machinery translates the sequence of the mRNA into an amino acid sequence, which makes up the protein.

If the sequence of the mRNA is different, due to a mutation in the DNA, then the cell will translate a different sequence into an amino acid. This alters the composition of the protein.

Mutations can be small, and affect only one amino acid, or they could be huge, and impact the entire protein.

Mutations have very different consequences in gametes vs non-gamete cells.

If a mutation occurs in a gamete, that means the mutation will be passed on to the next generation, as it is contained in the DNA in the egg or sperm that becomes fertilised to make a gamete.

However, mutations that occur in other cells are not passed on to the next generation. That does not mean they do not have effects. E.g. mutations in the skin caused by exposure to UV rays from the sun can contribute to cancer, but would not be passed on to the individual's children
