1/4 or 25% will have the homozygous recessive genotype. 25% will have the homozygous dominant phenotype. 50% will be heterozygous. We would use a punnet square to figure this out. I’ve attached a picture of one to help you
Most of the oxygen exiting the blood and entering the tissues does so from the capillaries.
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
The circulatory system consists of the heart, arteries, veins and capillaries. An artery is the one which carry blood from the heart to the organs. A vein is the one which carry blood from the organ to the heart.
A capillary is the smallest blood vessel which helps connect the functions of arteries and veins in the body. The capillaries are the narrow tubes which allow diffusion of Oxygen into and from the tissues. It’s prior function is to drop Oxygen in a tissue and collect the Carbon dioxide from the tissue.
Answer: The given statement is True.
Gene can be described as the segment of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid), which codes for a particular protein. The protein thus formed, corresponds to a specific trait ( such as skin color, hair color, color of eye) of the individual organism.
They possess set of instructions for making a protein in the form of nucleotide sequences. Gene undergo transcription to form mRNA ( messenger RNA), which is then converted into particular protein through translation.
Genes are inherited from parents by their offspring and in this way specific traits are inherited by offspring from their parents.
Thus, given statement in the question is correct.
Answer:
When directed mutagenesis which is also called reverse genetics is used, only a single mutation per genome is introduced. In contrast, the number of mutations per genome introduced by random mutagenesis is usually difficult to control. It is likely that the strain you obtained with a mutation in gene X after random mutagenesis contained an additional mutation or perhaps multiple mutations which ultimately was/were responsible for loss of virulence in your favorite pathogen.
Correct answer: C). Fungicides interfere with fungal growth and reproduction, while genetic engineering produces plants resistant to fungi.
Fungicide is a chemical substance that is known to cause toxicity in fungi in order to kill them. Its use can help to reduce the number of fungal infection that causes great loss to plants and its productivity.
In genetic engineering, the DNA of plants is altered in such a way that it produces a toxic protein, which will kill the fungi when it tries to infect them or slow down the growth of the plant.
