Romashka [77]

Question:

Trudy made this Venn diagram comparing interphase and cytokinesis.

Which statement belongs in the region marked X? (image attached)

Answer options:

  • Is the longest stage
  • DNA is copied
  • The number of nuclei doubles
  • The number of cells doubles

Answer:

  • The number of cells doubles

Explanation:

Cytokinesis describes the splitting of the cytoplasm after mitosis. During interphase, the DNA is replicated. During mitosis, the DNA condenses into chromosomes, and the chromosomes are aligned and separated to opposite ends of the cell. During cytokinesis, the cell separates into two daughter cells.

In watermelons, solid green rind color (G) is dominant to stripes (g).
stiks02 [169]

There are chances of 75% solid green coloured rind in watermelons.

Explanation:

Dominant trait = Solid Green rind G

Recessive trait= stripes g

Given that both the parent plants are heterozygous so their alleles will be

Gg Gg

From the Punnet square

          G        g

G      GG     Gg

g       Gg     gg

The phenotype ratio is 3:1  ( 3 watermelons with the green colour rind and 1 with striped rind observed)

Genotype ratio is 1:2:1

From the observation, we can say that 75% of the watermelons will have solid green colour rind because G is dominant over g.

What would the result be if a drug that blocks the action of rna polymerase was introduced into a virus-infected organism?
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The correct answer is: viral replication would stop.

Explanation:

Drugs that block the action of RNA polymerase in viruses are called antivirals and are used to cure viral infections like Hepatitis and Herpes.

<u>Antivirals do not destroy the virus but rather mess with its development by inhibiting its replication</u>.

Viruses do not have the capacity to replicate or synthesize proteins by themselves, so they need a host that can "lend them" the structures needed to perform those processes. If the drug blocks the RNA polymerase, the virus won't be able to replicate itself.
