<span>strawberries and vegetative reproduction, strawberries have long stems called stolons. Wherever a stolon touches a ground it produces roots, this provides growth to a new plant irrespective if the stolon is broken off from the parent plant. When this occurs, every plant that grows from a stolon is genetically identical to the parent plant</span>

Answer:

Genetically identical.

Explanation:

<em>As the strawberry plants are grown by vegetative propagation it is a form of asexual reproduction.</em>

During asexual reproduction, the offsprings are produced from only one parent and hence, their genetic material is also contributed by only one of them this is because the parent cell is simply going to divide into two cells which are going to be genetically identical.

<em>Due to this reason the offsprings are also genetically idnetical. </em>

A 30-year-old female who is sexually active complains of a large amount of milk like vaginal discharge. A microscopy slide revea
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Most likely Bacterial vaginosis (BV)

Explanation:

BV is a sexually associated health problem in women caused by a change in the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina.  

This happens when the population of the good bacteria called <em>lactobacillus</em> reduces, giving room for the multiplication and growth of bad bacteria. The good bacteria keep the vagina a bit acidic, thereby preventing the growth and multiplication of bad bacteria.  

A woman that is sexually active is predisposed to having BV. White vaginal discharge that appears milky is one of the symptoms of BV. A vaginal pH 6 affirms it is mostly a BV, as the pH level that is greater than 4.5 would favors the population of bad bacteria.

The 30-year-old female who is sexually active and complains of a large amount of milk like vaginal discharge, with the vaginal pH at 6.0, is mostly likely having Bacteria vaginosis (BV)

In an animal cell, what is the function of the lysosomes?

i.e. by fusing with vacuoles from inside the cell. 
This could include digesting worn-out organelles so that useful chemicals locked-up in their structures can be re-used by the cell.</span><span><span>Break-down 'digestion' of materials from outside the cell (heterophagy)</span>
i.e. by fusing with vacuoles from outside the cell.
This could include breaking-down material taken-in by phagocytes, which include many types of white blood cells - also known as leucocytes. Specific mechanisms of heterophagy can be:<span><span>phagocytic - by which cells engulf extracellular debris, bacteria or other particles - only occurs in certain specialized cells</span><span>pinocytic - by which cells engulf extracellular fluid</span><span>endocytic - by which cells take-up particles such as molecules that have become attached to the outer-surface of the cell membrane.</span></span></span><span><span>Recycle the products of biochemical reactions that have taken place following materials being brought into the cell by endocytosis (general term for this 'recycling' function: biosynthesis) </span>
Different materials (chemicals) are processed in different ways, e.g. some structures may be processed/degraded within lysosomes and others are taken to the surface of the cell.</span><span>Completely break-down cells that have died (autolysis)</span></span>

In general, the functions of lysosomes involve breaking-down i.e. processing to 'make safe' or make use of, or removing from the cell e.g. by exocytosis, useless and potentially harmful materials such as old worn-out parts of the cell or potential threats such bacteria. Lysosomes can therefore be thought of as the rubbish disposal units within cel

Compared the Mendelian Dominance, how to incomplete dominance and codominance increase the number of phenotypes? Provide an exam
REY [17]

Answer/Explanation:

<h3>Incomplete dominance</h3>

In incomplete dominance, one allele is not entirely dominant over the other, so heterozygotes (organisms with two different alleles for the gene) show an intermediate or blended phenotype.

For example, consider flower colour.

  • If the allele for red flowers (R) was dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), then there are three possible genotypes (RR, Rr, and rr) and two possible phenotypes. (Red (RR and Rr) and white (rr)).
  • However, if the allele for red flowers (R) was incompletely dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), then there are three possible genotypes (RR, Rr, rr), and three possible phenotypes (red (RR), white (rr), and pink (Rr))
<h3>Co-dominance</h3>

In incomplete dominance, two alleles are both expressed, one is not dominant over the other. Therefore, heterozygotes (organisms with two different alleles for the gene) express both traits.

For example, consider flower patterns.

  • If the allele for spots (F) was dominant over the allele for stripes (f), then there are three possible genotypes (FF, Ff, and ff) and two possible phenotypes. (Spots (Ff and ff) and stripes (ff)).
  • However, if the allele for spots (F) was co-dominant to the allele for stripes (f), then there are three possible genotypes (FF, Ff, ff), and three possible phenotypes (spots (FF), stripes (ff), and spots and stripes (Ff))
