Answer:

In the F1 generation

RR = 0%

Rr = 50% (or 0.5)

rr = 50% (or 0.5)

Explanation:

A pink flowering plant has the genotype Rr. It is heterozygous for the allele. The alleles for this gene appears to show incomplete dominance, as the heterozygous phenotype is a blend of the two homozygous genotypes.

A white flowering plant has the genotype rr. It is homozyogous for the white allele

A punnet square of the cross is shown.

The resulting punnet square shows that only Rr and rr genotypes are possible, at a ratio of 50:50 (or 1:1). Therefore, the genotype frequency of Rr is 50%, and rr is 50% in the F1 generation. This can also be written as 0.5. It is not possible to get a red plant, as the genotype RR can not come from this cross

Answer:

During mitosis, the nucleus divides. Mitosis is followed by cytokinesis, when the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two cells. After cytokinesis, cell division is complete. Scientists say that one parent cell, or the dividing cell, forms two genetically identical daughter cells, or the cells that divide from the parent cell. The term "genetically identical" means that each cell has an identical set of DNA, and this DNA is also identical to that of the parent cell. If the cell cycle is not carefully controlled, it can cause a disease called cancer, which causes cell division to happen too fast. A tumor can result from this kind of growth.

During mitosis, the two sister chromatids must be split apart. Each resulting chromosome is made of 1/2 of the "X". Through this process, each daughter cell receives one copy of each chromosome. Mitosis is divided into four phases:

Prophase: The chromosomes "condense," or become so tightly wound that you can see them under a microscope. The wall around the nucleus, called the nuclear envelope, disappears. Spindles also form and attach to chromosomes to help them move.

Metaphase: The chromosomes line up in the center of the cell. The chromosomes line up in a row, one on top of the next.

Anaphase: The two sister chromatids of each chromosome separate, resulting in two sets of identical chromosomes.

Telophase: The spindle dissolves and nuclear envelopes form around the chromosomes in both cells.

A patient is receiving gentamicin once daily. A nursing student asks the nurse how the drug can be effective if given only once
Digiron [165]

Answer:

a."Gentamicin has a longer half-life than other aminoglycosides."

Explanation:

Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside that binds to bacterial ribosomal proteins and causes the inhibition of the protein synthesis, killing the bacteria. The killing can continue for long periods after administrating the drug and even once that the concentrations of this one can no longer be detected in the plasma. That is the reason why this drug is given once a day.

Ribs are most likely examples of what type of structure ​
otez555 [7]

Explanation:

The ribs are a set of twelve bones which form the protective 'cage' of the thorax. They articulate with the vertebral column posteriorly, and terminate anteriorly as cartilage (known as costal cartilage). As part of the bony thorax, the ribs protect the internal thoracic organs.
