Answer:

signaling processes

Explanation:

Neurons within the brain are constantly processing and transmitting information. Electrical impulses that pass from one neuron to another consume a lot of energy. So, sending, receiving and processing the signals are the main events of brain energy expenditure. Neurons also use the energy for the maintenance of themselves and the surrounding glial cells.

Glucose is the main energy source in the brain.

If a germ-line cell from a frog contains 10 picograms of DNA during G1 of interphase, then how many picograms of DNA would be pr

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cell cycle is composed of three states: interphase, cell division and resting.

The interphase is composed of 3 phases: G1, S and G2 (in this order). During this state the cell prepares itself for cell division. As part of the preparation the cell duplicates all its genetic material, that is, all its chromosomes. This duplication is done during the phase S.

During the meiotic cell division (composed of meiosis 1 and meiosis 2) a single diploid mother cell (with duplicated chromosomes) produces four haploid daughter cells. the meiosis 1 produces two haploid cells with duplicated chromosomes, and the meiosis 2 produces 4 haploid cells with normal chromosomes (no duplicated).

If a germ-line cell from a frog contains 10 picograms of DNA during G1, then this cell will have 20 picograms of DNA before the product of the first meiotic division, and will have 10 picograms at the begining of the meiosis 2 (i.e prophase II)

In a unique species of plants, flowers may be yellow, blue, red, or mauve. All colors may be true-breeding. If plants with blue

Zolol [24]

Answer:

F1) 100% bbRr, red flowered plants.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

flowers may be yellow, blue, red, or mauve
colors may be true-breeding
the cross of blue-flowered plants with red-flowered plants, produce plants that have yellow flowers
F2 generation: 9/16 yellow, 3/16 blue, 3/16 red, and 1/16 mauve.

Knowing that the phenotypic ratio is 9:3:3:1, we can assume that there are two genes involved in the flower color expression. We can name these genes B and R with a dominant and a recessive allele each (B, b and R, r respectively).

According to the first cross, we might establish the following genotypes:

1st Cross: blue-flowered plant x red-flowered plant

Parentals) BBrr x bbRR

Gametes) Br, Br, Br, Br bR, bR, bR, bR

F1) 100% BbRr, yellow plants

Parentals) BbRr x BbRr

Gametes) BR, Br, bR, br

BR, Br, bR, br

Punnett square) BR Br bR br

BR BBRR BBRr BbRR BbRr

Br BBRr BBrr BbRr Bbrr

bR BbRR BbRr bbRR bbRr

br BbRr Bbrr bbRr bbrr

F2) 9/16 yellow ---> 1/16 BBRR + 2/16 BBRr + 4/16 BbRr + 2/16 BbRR

3/16 blue ------> 1/16 BBrr + 2/16 Bbrr

3/16 red---------> 1/16 bbRR + 2/16 bbRr

1/16 mauve ----> 1/16 bbrr

So,

Yellow-flowered plants: BBRR, BBRr, BbRR, BbRr
Red-flowered plants: bbRR, bbRr
Blue-flowered plants: BBrr, Bbrr
Mauve-flowered plants: bbrr

According to these genotypes, the second cross would be like following,

2nd Cross: true-breeding red-flowered plants with true-breeding mauve flowered plants.

Parentals) bbRR x bbrr

Phenotype) Red Mauve

Gametes) bR, bR, bR, bR br, br, br, br

Punnett square) bR bR bR bR

br bbRr bbRr bbRr bbRr

F1) 100% bbRr, red flowered plants.
