In a mating between two individuals that are heterozygous for a recessive lethal allele that is expressed in utero, what genotyp

3 0

Answer:

1:2:0

Explanation:

If two recessive lethal alleles come together, they will be expressed and lead to the offspring's death. Let the dominant allele be S and the recessive allele be s. Here, the two individuals are heterozygous for it. So when they mate:

    S     s

S  SS  Ss

s   Ss   ss

1/4 have homozygous fominant genotype (SS), 2/4 have heterozygous genotype (Ss) and 1/4 have homozygous recessive (ss) genotype. Since 1/4 offspring have ss genotype, they will die. Hence, the usual 1:2:1 ratio has been modified here to only 1:2:0

Vlad1618 [11]
In my opinion, the correct answer among the choice given above is option D. It is advantageous for grazing mammals to gather in groups because groups <span>offer greater protection from predation. It protects them  because predators will think twice in nearing the group because it is outnumbered.</span>

Which of the statements regarding the cell cycle is true? Group of answer choices It is regulated by cyclins and CDKs. Different
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

All of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

Cell cycle is the process of growth and division of cell. It comprises of interphase and mitosis. In interphase the cell grows, replicates its genomic content and prepares itself for division. In mitosis the division occurs.

Cell cycle is controlled by a group of kinases called as Cyclin dependent Kinases (CDKs). They act by phosphorylating their substrates. They are of various types like Cdk1, Cdk2, Cdk4 etc. They become active when they bind to a regulatory protein called cyclin. They are also of various types like Cyclin A, Cyclin B, Cyclin C etc. Level of cyclin and corresponding CDK increases and decreases according to the stage of cell cycle. For example in S phase of cell cycle concentration of cyclin A and E shoots up. CDK2 is able to bind to these cyclin molecules and hence it becomes active.

Cell cycle has major checkpoints where the condition of cell is analysed before it proceeds to the next stage of cycle. If any abnormality is detected, repair mechanism is activated or the cell is killed. Checkpoints do not allow cell cycle to proceed in damaged cells.

p53 is a tumor suppressor protein which can halt cell cycle when it detects some abnormality in cell. It usually acts in G1/S checkpoint (before the DNA replication starts in cell) and G2/M checkpoint (before the cell division begins). Hence, all of the above statements are true.
