Which of the following is an effect of a decrease in the surface-area-to-volume ratio of a cell?

Biology

Novay_Z [31]3 years ago

<span>When the surface area to volume ratio of a cell decreases, the amount of area available to pass material to the cell increases. This is because the surface area is now bigger in proportion to the volume. The inverse is true - when volume increases more rapidly than surface area, the area available to pass materials through it to the cell decreases.</span>

If round pea shape is dominant to wrinkled pea shape, which of the following genotypes
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

C. rr

Explanation:

The dominant genotype will always be denoted by the capital version, or in this case R.

The round pea shape is dominant to the wrinkled pea shape, which means that, in the Punnett Square, the combinations of RR, Rr, rR, will all come out to be round pea shape.

The last box, rr, would be the one that gives the wrinkled phenotype.

In this case, by ratio, wrinkled phenotype show up 25%

                    by ratio, round phenotype show up 75%.

which mechanism would be least likely to inactivate a tumor-suppressor gene? group of answer choices mutation deletion gene dupl
madreJ [45]

The mechanism that is least likely to inactivate a tumor-suppressor gene is chemical modification.

Tumor suppressor genes, also abbreviated as TSG, are the ones that check the cell cycle and regulate them. They inhibit any damaged gene from moving ahead in the cell cycle. If the tumor suppressor genes are inactivated anyhow, it can lead to cancer.

Chemical modification is the process of chemically modifying the structure of a protein. It is a beneficial process when used efficiently as it help to derive the product of interest. Therefore this process is least likely to cause inactivation of tumor suppressor genes.

Many species can reproduce either asexually or sexually. What might be the evolutionary significance of the switch from asexual
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

When an organisms reproduces asexually its offspring is identical, this means it has the same DNA code.

For example viruses look for specific protein types at cell membranes to "anchor" or "stick" and then inject their genetic material. If all the individuals of a  population have the same membrane proteins the whole population is vulnerable to be infected by the virus.

Sexual reproduction creates genetic variability due to mechanisms like crossing over and the assortment of chromosomes during meiosis. On top of it, different parents contain different information which leads to offspring with similar but different characteristics which can end up having different membrane proteins that can save them from the virus.
