A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in DNA or RNA that codes for either a particular amino acid or tells the cellular machinery to start or stop using the code. It isn't located anywhere specific.
Answer:
17
Explanation:
In corn,
Smooth kernel (S) is dominant to rough kernel (s)
Purple kernel (P) is dominant to yellow kernel (p)
Since no information has been given about the cross here let us assume it to be a standard dihybrid cross.
The phenotypic ratio of dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1. 9/16 will show dominant phenotype for both traits, 3/16 will show dominant phenotype for one trait, other 3/16 will show dominant phenotype for the second trait, 1/16 will have recessive phenotype for both the traits.
Here,
Purple rough (P_ss) = 52
Yellow smooth (ppS_) = 50
Both of them show dominant phenotype for one trait so they each form 3/16 of the progeny.
If the total progeny was z, 3/16*z = 50
z = (50*16)/3 = 267
Total progeny = 267 kernels
Yellow rough kernels (ppss) = (1/16*267) = 17
So approximately 17 corn kernels will be yellow and rough.
The correct answer is - D) I and II.
When a fossil is found, one of the most important things that need to be looked at are the location where the fossil was found and how deep the in the ground the fossil was found.
The location of the place where the fossil is found is important as it can provide us with information about the environment of where the fossil lived, the geography of the place, was it land or water. Since reconstructions of the geological past have already been made, an experienced paleontologist will manage to use it without any problem.
How deep is the fossil found is also very important. The reason for that is that certain layer in the ground is a part of certain geological eon, era, period... By looking at the layer in which the fossil has been found we can relatively easily come to an information about its relative age.
