Answer:
Fungus, A fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, those being Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista.
Explanation:
Fungi and animals are very different from each other and classified as completely separate kingdoms. At the cellular level, both animals and fungi are composed of eukaryotic cells. Fungal cells differ from plant cells in that they do not have chloroplasts and cannot carry out photosynthesis to make their own food.
Answer:
a. most genes encode one polypeptide and can be operationally defined by the complementation test
Explanation:
Genes are the stretch of DNA that code for specific polypeptides. In general, one gene codes for the only polypeptide.
Genes are defined by complementation tests which in turn tell if two mutations have occurred in the alleles of the same gene or different gene.
For the purpose, an organism with the homozygous genotype for one recessive mutation is crossed with an organism having the homozygous recessive genotype for another mutation.
If the two mutations are in the same gene, the progeny would show the mutant phenotype. On the other hand, if two mutations are in different genes, the progeny would exhibit normal phenotype.
Answer:
An example of a dominant trait is the violet-colored flower trait. For this same characteristic (flower color), white-colored flowers are a recessive trait.
Explanation:
Blood enter the right atrium of the heart via the vena cava (superior and inferior)
The right atrium contracts to push the blood into the right ventricle through the triscupid valve
The contraction of the right ventricle pushes the blood through the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary artery which carries it to the lungs to be oxygenated
After oxygenation, the pulmonary vein brings blood to the left atrium
Contraction of the left atrium pushes the blood through the mitral valve into the left ventricle
The left ventricle contracts to push the blood through the aortic valve, into the aorta, which carries the blood through the body.
Answer:
Lunar Prospector was designed to collect data to compile the first complete compositional and gravity maps of the Moon during its planned one year mission in lunar polar orbit. ... In March 1998, NASA announced that data from Lunar Prospector suggested the presence of water ice at both the lunar poles.
