Offspring with a 3:1 ratio suggest that both parent that both parent that give rise to this offspring were both heterozygous. Heterozygous individual is someone who has two different allele at a locus whereby by one gene is dominant over the other gene. example of heterozygous parent is a parent Aa pair of alleles. In this pair gene A is dominant over gene a
Answer:
1) c. five
2) a. lysine and arginine
3) g. two
4) d. four
Explanation:
A nucleotide can be defined as an organic molecule which forms the building block of nucleic acid such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).
Basically, nucleotide comprises of the following parts;
1. Nitrogenous base: this includes adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C) which are mainly found in the DNA while adenine (A), guanine (G), uracil (U) and cytosine (C) are found in the RNA.
2. A phosphate group.
3. A penrose sugar: it is either deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA.
The two parts or chemical components of a nucleotide which do not change throughout the structure of DNA are;
I. Five-Carbon Sugar also known as deoxyribose and it has hydrogen on its second carbon.
II. Phosphate: this is the structural backbone that provides support to DNA.
Histones are a group of highly basic proteins that are mainly associated with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the nucleus of a living organism and then condense it to chromatin.
Histones include five main classes of relatively small basic proteins containing relatively large amounts of lysine and arginine. Nucleosomes are made of two each of four types of histones.
Answer:
In a comparison of birds and mammals, the condition of having four limbs is a shared ancestral character
<span>The correct option is C. Erosion is the process by which the earth surface get worn down. It involves the removal of soil, rocks or dissolved material from one location and its transportation to another location. Erosion can be caused by water, wind and glacier.</span>
Answer: A, C, and E are correct
Explanation:
Sympatric speciation is a random or naturally occurring event whereby organisms of the same species:
- live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e no single specie occupy
an area in isolation)
- DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory and practice non-random mating, which favors some genes results in an uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles previously common among the population.
- produce offspring with extra sets of chromosomes known as polyploidy, leading to show genetic variations
Finally, M. graminicola and S passerinii are Sympatric species based on the already given explanation.
