A frog has a genetic mutation in its skin cells that causes part of its skin to turn orange. The frog will not pass this genetic

mutation onto its offspring because
parents do not contribute genetic material to their offspring.

skin cells do not contribute genetic material to sex cells.

mutated skin cells cannot divide and produce daughter skin cells.

the offspring will inherit skin cells from the other parent.

Answer : The correct answer is -

skin cells do not contribute genetic material to sex cells.

Sex cells are the haploid, reproductive cells (also known as gametes, such as sperms and egg) that are produced by parents through gametogenesis (oogenesis in female and spermatogenesis in male).

They are crucial for reproduction in sexually reproducing organisms (like humans) as they fuse together and form a diploid zygote (containing the genetic material of each parent) which develops into fetus.

On the other hand, skin cells are the somatic cells (that are diploid) and do not contribute in the reproductive cycle.

This means that their genetic material is not contributed to the sex cells.

Thus, the frog with genetic mutation in its skin cells will not pass it to the offspring.

I think it is A as well because skin cells do not contribute genetic material to sex cells.

(b) Based on the data for the groups of cells cultured with 0.1% serum (groups 3 to 7), identify the groups(s) most likely to in
joja [24]

Answer:

Groups 4 to 7 are most likely to be undergoing the mitotic phase of the cell cycle.

Explanation:

Since the four proteins used p16,  p18,  p21, and  p27 are inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK), their absence indicates that the cell is undergoing mitosis - the cell cycle is regulated by CDKs. In the absence of these inhibitors, the cell cycle moves on forward. Because the bar for DNA replication is longer in the case for groups 4 to 7, it is indicative of the fact that these cells have gone through the mitotic phase.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Over successive generations, moths develop spots that resemble eyes on their wings that scare off predators. this characteristic
Sati [7]
In this example of evolutionary development, we can see a selective advantage.
Developing of new characteristics, in this case, the spots on moth's wings is a part of the process of adaptation of organisms to their environment.
The new characteristics are acquired through mutations and natural selection filters the ones that are the most beneficial for the holder.
For example, a  mutation which results in moths having shorter wings is disadvantageous, because it makes the individual who possesses it less likely to survive and reproduce.
On the other hand, developing of spots that resemble eyes can be advantageous, since it enables the holder of the trait to be more successful and more likely to leave offspring.
