<span>While the open ocean produces little in terms of biomass, it contributes a great amount to the biosphere because of its serving as a habitat for small, primary producers as well as playing a big role in geochemical cycling.</span>
Answer:
Dominance
Explanation:
Mendel discovered certain principles that governs heredity or inheritance when he conducted experiments. In his experiments, he discovered that an organism receives two copies of a gene called allele, from each parent.
He discovered that one allele of a gene has the ability to mask or suppress the expression of its allele variant in the same gene. He called the allele that masks or is expressed, DOMINANT allele, while the allele that is masked, RECESSIVE allele. Based on this observation, he named his first principle, LAW OF DOMINANCE.
In this case, he crossed a purebreeding round-seeded pea plant and a purebreeding wrinkled-seeded pea plant, he noticed that in the F1 generation, all the offsprings possessed round seeds. This led to the conclusion that the allele for round seeds masks the phenotypic expression of the wrinkled allele in a heterozygous state. Hence, the allele for round seeds is dominant while the allele for Wrinkled seeds is recessive.
Answer:
Binds to extracellular structures and is important in cell recognition and lubrication of the cell surface.
Explanation:
They form a peri-cellular matrix around the cell and is observed as a fuzzy cell coat under a microscope. Glycocalyx molecules are mostly made up of carbohydrates bonded with lipids and proteins. They are significant in cell adhesion especially in tissues and for protection in prokaryotes. These molecules are also important in cell-to-cell communication and recognition.
