Answer:

One of the RNA molecules has experienced gene duplication as the result of translocation.

Explanation:

Translocation and duplication are some of the structural abnormalities in the chromosomes that may even cause certain genetic disorders. Duplication is the presence of a genetic segment for more than one time in the chromosome. The repeated genetic segments are mostly present in the tandem pattern. When a chromosome fragment breaks off and attaches to a non-homologous chromosome, it is called translocation. It leads to the deletion of a genetic segment in one chromosome and duplication in the other.

According to the given information, a genetic segment bearing two genes is detached from one RNA and gets attached to the other RNA molecule of the HIV genome. Therefore, the RNA molecule has undergone translocation and has lost a genetic segment while the other has gained a genetic segment (duplication) due to translocation.

In flowering plants what structure containing DNA is transported from one plant to another
azamat

Answer:

Pollen

Explanation:

Flowering plants are plants classified as Angiosperms. They are the most diverse group of plants in the Kingdom Plantae. Angiosperms or flowering plants as their name implies are characterized by the possession of reproductive structures called FLOWER. The male reproductive flower called STAMEN produces their gamete in a structure called POLLEN while the female reproductive flower called PISTIL contains an ovary that produces egg cells called OVULES.

In flowering plants, the pollen of a male flower is transported to the receptive part of the female flower called STIGMA in a process called POLLINATION. The pollen contains the gamete (sperm cell) that conveys the genetic material (DNA) of the male plant. A fertilized ovule develops into a seed, hence, the reason flowering plants are called SEED-BEARING.

Therefore, pollen is the structure containing the genetic material (DNA) that is transported from one plant to another (same species) in flowering plants.
