Answer;
Carbon
Explanation;
-The large diversity of shapes of biological molecules is possible because of the extensive presence of carbon in the molecules.
-The major classes of biological molecules that are important for all living things are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. These molecules differ in structure and function, in part, because of different functional groups.
All organic molecules contain carbon atoms. Biological macromolecules are organic, meaning that they contain carbon. In addition, they may contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and additional minor elements.
-Carbon qualifies as the foundation element for molecules in living things. It is the bonding properties of carbon atoms that are responsible for its important role.
Answer:
E (Red shows incomplete dominance over white)
Explanation:
This portrays a monohybrid cross involving a single gene coding for flower colour in snapdragon plants. According to the question, a purebreeding red flowered (homozygous) plant is crossed with a purebreeding white flowered (homozygous) plant to produce an all pink flowered offspring. This phenomenon is called INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE.
Mendel, in his experiments, discovered that an allele can mask the expression of another in a heterozygous state. He called the allele that masks DOMINANT allele while the allele that is masked RECESSIVE allele. However, exceptions like INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE, has occurred in the sense that an allele does not completely mask the expression of its allelic pair, instead an intermediate phenotype, which is a combination/blending of both parental phenotypes is produced.
In this case, the red flowered snapdragon (RR) does not completely cover up the expression of white flower (rr), hence a hybrid/heterozygous offspring is produced that combines the phenotypic characteristics of both parents to form an intermediate flower colour (pink). Hence, it can be said that Red flower is incompletely dominant over white flower or no allele/trait is dominant or recessive to another.
Answer:
In Meiosis, cells are divided twice to the give haploid cells ( four cells) with half the number of chromosomes in the original cell, while in mitosis, cells only divide once to give identical cell with the same number of chromosomes as its origin.
Explanation:
Meiosis is a process where a cell divides to give four cells, with the chromosomes half of that of the original cell. This cell division helps produce your genital cells like sperm and female egg. There are nine stages in meiosis.
Mitosis is a process of cell division where a single cell divides just once to produce two identical cells with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.
Answer:
The correct answer will be option-C.
Explanation:
The functional groups are the group of atoms which gets attached to the skeleton of carbon in a molecule and provides certain characteristics to the molecule. The main functional group includes hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino, phosphate, methyl carbonyl and sulfhydryl.
These groups could be acidic or basic depending upon them if their structure will be able to take H⁺ ions from solution or donate H⁺ ions. In the given question, the basic group among these is an amino group which has the ability to accept H⁺ ions from the solution and form NH₃⁺ ions.
Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
