Answer:

25000 fragments

Explanation:

A restriction enzyme can cut a random DNA sequence once per every 4^n where n = number of bases in the recognition site of enzyme.

There are 6 bases in Xbal's recognition site (TCTAGA) so it will cut once per every 4^6 = 4096 bases (4kb).

Total genomic size = 100000kb

So expected number of fragments = Total genomic size/Size of one fragment

= 100000/4

= 25000 fragments

Andre45 [30]
I cook for my family every day, on my way back home, I phone my family to see what kind of food is in the fridge, so I can go shopping in the market. I take the car via the market home and start at the back of the market and get all of the fresh vegetables I need to cook a pasta dish, I specialize each area of the market to optimize my time, and get better prices for the produce. I ask someone to help me carry my shopping to the car, and phone home to ask my wife to turn on the oven, and start to boil water. Once home I chop the vegetable and cook the pasta, and we sit down for dinner.

You have a plant with yellow seeds, which express a dominant phenotype. How would you determine the plant's genotype?. . . Condu
DENIUS [597]
If it displays the dominant genotype, we can assume that this plant would have a heterozygous (hybrid) genotype, i.e.

With a purebred recessive plant, the geneotypes would be 50% Bb and 50% bb.

With a purebred dominant plant, the genetpyes would be 50% BB and 50% Bb.

With a <span>heterozygous (hybrid) plant, the genotypes would be 25% BB, 50% Bb and 25% bb.</span>

In what way does controlling the proteins in an organism control the organism’s characteristics?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Controlling the proteins in an organism controls the organism's characteristics because proteins are enzymes, and enzymes catalyze and regulate chemical reactions, and therefore can control certain traits such as color, shape, or even gender.
