What limits the maximum size of a cell

Biology

Oliga [24]3 years ago

The primary limitation on the size to which a single cell can grow is a mathematical principle called the surface to volume ratio. As the size of a three-dimensional object grows, its volume increases more rapidly than its surface does, which causes metabolic problems for cells. Additionally, the amount of cytoplasm the nucleus can contain and the structural limitations on the cell prevent them from being larger as well.

In a hypothetical population of plants, flower color is determined by a single gene with two alleles. In a population of 500 pla
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Phenotype genotype Number of individuals

Red RR 245

Pink Rr 210

White rr 45

Number of alleles in total

R = 245 + 245 + 210 = 700 ---> 700/1000= 0.7 R frequency

r = 210 + 45 + 45 = 300 -----> 300/1000 = 0.3 r frequency

Predict (Hardy Weinberg) genotype frequencies=

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

p= 0.7

q=0.3

0.49 + 0.42 + 0.9 =1

According Punnett Squares in F1 we have=

Rr* rr = Rr 50% and rr 50%
