Answer:

Explanation:

A dominant allele produces a character that is expressed (phenotypically) to the total exclusion of the other allele's character. This means the dominant allele overshadows the recessive allele.

Homozygous allele is having the exact same alleles of a particular gene. For instance, having two dominant or having two recessive alleles in a gene.

Heterozygous allele is having two different allele of a particular gene. Here, both dominant and recessive alleles are present in the gene.

Genotype is the genetic make up of an individual organism

Phenotype is the physical characteristics of an individual expressed as a result of genotype.

From the above explanation. it can be deduced that

1) <u>Homozygous dominant:</u>

Genotype: YY

Phenotype: The pea plant is yellow because both alleles are expressed for yellow colour in the plant

2) <u>Homozygous recessive:</u>

Genotype: yy

Phenotype: The pea plant is green because both alleles are expressed for green colour in the plant

3) <u>Heterozygous:</u>

Genotype: Yy

Phenotype: The pea plant is yellow because the dominant allele here is Y which is the allele expressed for yellow colour

Homozygous Dominant: YY

- A pure yellow pea pod

Homozygous Recessive: yy

- A pure green pea pod

Heterozygous: Yy

A yellow pea pod.


Recessive traits are only displayed when the genotype contains two recessive alleles.

How do enzymes affect the activation energy of a reaction
Kitty [74]
Catalysts lower the Activation energy for reactions. The lower the activation energy for a reaction,the faster the rate. Thus enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy. Many enzymes change shape when substrate ms bind.

What do scientists use to divide the geologic time scale? Major divisions in the fossil records Major divisions in the sedimenta
IgorC [24]
The correct option is B: MAJOR DIVISIONS IN THE SEDIMENTARY ROCK LAYERS.
Geologic time scale refers to a system of chronological dating which relates geological strata to time. Geologic time scale is used by scientists to describe the timing of the events that had occurred in the past, thus the scale divides the earth history into units of varying magnitude. There are four basic block of time, these are eons, eras, periods and epochs.
In determine geological time, rock records provide evidence of past geological events and life forms.

In a cell with defective chaperones, Question 14 options: proteins would not be able to exit the ribosome. the concentration of
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

the concentration of misfolded proteins would be higher than normal.  

Explanation:

Chaperones proteins are required for the correct protein folding of proteins. These proteins were first discovered in bacteria. The level of chaperones is increased under thermic stress conditions, it is for that reason that they are also known as heat shock proteins (Hsp). For example, Hsp70 is a chaperon protein constitutively expressed under stress conditions that is involved in the folding of protein precursors and the refolding of misfolded proteins. In humans, Hsp70 is encoded by the HSPA1A gene, and its increased expression level is related to different health problems including neurodegenerative diseases, cerebral ischemia and epilepsy.
