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.

Which of the following is likely to be made from a thermoplastic?
sergij07 [2.7K]

a grocery bag

Thermoplastic is known to be a plastic material with a polymer that can be molded above a specific temperature and solidifies upon cooling. Thermoplastics can be remelted or reshaped by heating and they have low melting points. Furthermore, they usually have high concentration of polymers with amorphous structures, the material will have a poor resistance to loads but it will have an excellent elasticity.

In a hardy-weinberg population with two alleles, a and a, that are in equilibrium, the frequency of the allele a is 0. 3. What i
zavuch27 [327]

Here, given-

homozygous alleles 'a' have a frequency of 0.3.

Also the alleles are in equilibrium in a Hardy-Weinberg population. The frequency of individuals that are homozygous for this allele are= 0.49.

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can be defined as the principle which states that the variation in the genetic makeup of a population remains constant and unchanged till there are no external interferences, influencing the population.

Calculation-

p + q = 1\\0.3 + q= 1\\q= 1- 0.3\\\\q= 0.7

Then to find the frequency of the individuals homozygous for this allele the following formula needs to be used-

p^{2} + 2pq + q^{2} =1

p^{2} = dominant homozygous frequency\\2pq= heterozygous frequency\\q^{2} = recessive homozygous frequency\\

Thus, the individuals homozygous for the allele can be calculated by q^{2} = (0.7)^{2} \\= 0.49

Two scientists wanted to determine if temperature affects the growth of plants answers
bija089 [108]
The goal of an experimental investigation is to determine how changes in an independent variable affects another variable, which is called the dependent variable.

Remember: When designing an Experimental Investigation it is important that you only have one independent variable and one dependent variable. All other variables must be controlled, meaning they must stay the same.

FYI: Controlled variables are not the same as a Control for your Investigation. The following will explain this.

Start Experiment Design:

I want you to understand some of the thought processes for designing an experiment that meets Science Fair Project requirements.

1. You need to have a purpose for your investigation. At this point you may not know exactly what you want to do but let’s assume you want to work with plants. I’d search the web and find different project ideas about plants.
You will find ideas on this page?



Let’s assume you decide to investigate how light effects plant growth. At this point you need to write a basic purpose. I point out that this is might only be a BASIC Purpose, meaning you may need to improve it.

Basic Purpose of Investigation: How light effects plant growth.

I’ll come back to the purpose, but next you need to write your science fair question.

2. The question for an experimental investigation must identify both the independent variable and the dependent variable. Your basic purpose identifies light as the independent variable and plant growth as the dependent variable.

Don’t Forget: The independent variable and the dependent variable for an experimental investigation must be measurable.

Measuring the Independent Variable

How does one measure light?
Light is very general. You need to be more specific about the independent variable. You will get the point after reading the following questions.

Do you want to measure how different types of light sources, such as sunlight, artificial light, or colored light effects plant growth? This is a good idea for a science project.
Do you want to measure how changes in the amount of one type of light effects plants growth?
This is another good idea for a science project.See ????? for more ideas for how light affects plant growth.
You may have other ideas about the light you want to use, but for this article, I will give examples for measuring the amount of one type of light.

The Independent Variable is the amount of light the plant received.

Ideas for how to change the amount of light.

1. Use sunlight which changes during the day as well as from one day to the next.
You can also use direct and indirect sunlight.

2. If you use artificial light you can decide when and for how long the plant will receive this light. You also have the option to control the wattage of light used–its color–type (fluorescent, UV, incandescent). Just use the same type of light for each test plant–see controlled var
