The chromosomal mutation in the zygote can be traced back to "Chromosome 6 in the egg cell".

<u>Option: B</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In germ cells i.e. egg or sperm cells, the mutations in chromosome often happen during the meiosis phase. The number of chromosomes in egg cells or sperm cells must be haploid, so that diploid chromosomes form zygote on fertilization. Chromosome mutation in meiosis leads in an additional set of chromosomes or structural defects in the chromosome.

Chromosomal mutations are often caused by chemical agents or by mutagens. The homologous chromosomes are segregated from sister chromatids throughout cell division, any abnormality at this point allows the chromosomes to be unequally divided or not disjuncted, same is observed in the situation seen in egg cell chromosome 6.

Answer:

Answer is option D.

Flowers contain parts for making seeds.

Explanation:

The part of the plant that is responsible for the sexual reproduction in plants is known as flowers. A flower is said to be complete if contains sepals, petals, stamens and pistil. If the flower lacks one or more structures, it is an incomplete flower.

A complete flower consists of a vegetative part and a reproductive part. The vegetative part contains petals (a bright coloured structure that attracts insects and birds) and sepals (a green coloured structure that protects rising buds and is usually found beneath the petals). The reproductive parts include stamen or androecium (male reproductive organ) and pistil (female reproductive organ). A flower may consists of only female parts or only male parts, or both.

Stamen contains two parts - anther, which produce and store the pollens (male gametes) and filament, which support the anther. Pistil contains three parts - stigma, which receives the pollen grains and style that connects stigma and the ovary, and ovary which contains a lot of ovules (female gametes) which forms the seed.  

Flowers reproduce by pollination, a process in which the pollen are transferred to the stigma of another flower. A pollen tube emerges from the pollen grain and grows through the style and reaches an ovule inside the ovary. Then the nucleus of the pollen grain passes through the pollen tube and fuses with the nucleus of the ovule and this process is known as fertilisation. The fertilised ovules become seeds and the ovary transforms into the fruit. The seeds are dispersed through various methods and the embryo inside them will grow into adult plants.

Part 1: 
The carbon-monoxide, carbon-dioxide, and other harmful gasses are being released into the environment by the factory causing the air to be polluted.

Part 2:
The factory is putting in mechanical work, so the energy coming out is mechanical energy which is being transformed into chemical energy in the form of harmful gases.

Part 3:
This process is a recycling of carbon in the carbon cycle because along with adding carbon-dioxide to the air, it also provides photosynthetic autotrophs with carbon-dioxide which is required for photosynthesis. This will then be turned into oxygen which is used for cellular respiration in animals.

List and describe the purpose of each component of the restriction enzyme digest. Why do some tubes have no restriction enzyme?.
Arisa [49]

A typical restriction digestion reaction includes the DNA template, the desired restriction enzyme, a buffer, and occasionally BSA protein.

<h3>How come a restriction enzyme wouldn't function?</h3>

You should always check the expiration date, confirm that the enzyme has been stored at -20°C, and check the temperature of your freezer (do not allow temperatures to surpass -20°C, since many freeze-thaw cycles may cause an enzyme to lose action).

<h3>How does a restriction digest work?</h3>

With the aid of specialized enzymes known as restriction endonucleases (often referred to as restriction enzymes or REs), restriction digestion is the process of breaking down DNA molecules into smaller fragments.
