The Nucleus contains most of the genetic information for making proteins

The ribosome is the place where the polypeptide strand and the mRNA meet in order to create a protein

Nucleolus has a role in the biogenesis of the ribosomes

RER -intracelular transport and protein making because of the attached ribosomes

SER-intracelular transport,lipid synthesis and it is the place where the glicogen is metabolized

Golgi Apparatus has a secretive role

Lysosomes contain 40+ hydrolytic enzimes that help with intracelular digestion

Cilia and flagella both help with the moving of the cell

Extracellular matrix keeps the cells together

The Mitochondria sythesizes ATP in a process caled oxidative phosphorylation of organic substances

the allele for yellow peas is dominant to the allele for green peas. how would you represent the alleles of a plant that is hete
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: The alleles of a plant that is heterozygous for seed color can be represented as Y for dominant allele for yellow seed and y for recessive allele for green seed.

Explanation: A plant that is heterozygous for seed colour has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for seed colour. If Y represents the dominant allele for yellow seed colour and y represents the recessive allele for green seed colour, therefore the plant has a genotype of Yy. A dominant allele is one that has the ability to mask the effect of a recessive allele while a recessive allele is one whose effect is masked by a dominant allele. Dominant alleles are denoted with upper cases while recessive alleles are denoted with lower cases. A plant that is heterozygous for seed colour with genotype Yy will manifest outwardly as Yellow seed colour due to the presence of the dominant allele Y.
