Answer:

The cross of a heterozygous fly with a homozygous fly can be shown as follows:

r r

R Rr Rr

r rr rr

The results show that there is a 50% probability that the flies produced will have red eyes. Their genotypes will be heterozygous.

The results of the punnet square show that there will be a 50% probability that the offsprings will have brown eyes. Their genotype will be homozygous recessive.

A homozygous trait can be described as a trait which has same alleles for the gene which encodes the trait. Heterozygous means that both the alleles for the trait will be different.

What are the labels of the transmission electronic microscope image of a chloroplast

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Transfer RNA (tRNA) precursors undergo endoribonucleolytic processing of their 5' and 3' ends. 5' cleavage of the precursor transcript is performed by ribonuclease P (RNase P). While in most organisms RNase P is a ribonucleoprotein that harbors a catalytically active RNA component, human mitochondria and the chloroplasts (plastids) and mitochondria

Which component of a virus is lacking in a cell

luda_lava [24]

The question says, 'which component of a virus is lacking in a cell. The answer is capsid. virus capsid are protein shell of a virus, they envelope the virus and protect it from harm. Cells does not have capsid, they have rigid cell wall instead. The rigid cell wall protect the cell from harm and also give the cell shape.

Contribution of prophase stage of mitosis cell division to growth of plant

seraphim [82]

Answer: Spindle Formation

Explanation:Mitosis begins with prophase, during which chromosomes recruit condensin and begin to undergo a condensation process that will continue until metaphase. In most species, cohesin is largely removed from the arms of the sister chromatids during prophase, allowing the individual sister chromatids to be resolved. Cohesin is retained, however, at the most constricted part of the chromosome, the centromere (Figure 9). During prophase, the spindle also begins to form as the two pairs of centrioles move to opposite poles and microtubules begin to polymerize from the duplicated centrosomes.

Compare the ATP production process in photosynthesis with that of cellular respiration. Give at least one difference and one sim

lukranit [14]

1) Both involve electron transport chains.
2) Chemiomosis allows ATP synthase to produce ATP. 
3) Both take place at some point within an organelle (mit. = CR, chloroplast= photo.) 
4) Both utilize ATP for energy at some points. 
5) Both provide power for cellular activities. 
5 Differences 
1)Cellular respiration depends on oxygen as a substrate. 
2)Photosythesis utilizes 2 electron transport chains (not just 1). 
3)In Photo. , energy is provided by photons and not catabolic processes as in cell. resp. 
4)Photosynthesis involves the production of NADPH (CR involves NADH and FADH2) 
5)Photosynthesis involves CO2 and H20 as substrates (splitting h20 provides the electrons for the process).
