Your grandmother is very impressed with the size of the tomatoes from a plant that she planted in her garden. These tomatoes are

ten times bigger than the average tomatoes. She said that she will collect the seeds from the tomatoes from that plant and re-plant them so she can get more plants with big tomatoes. From the information that you learned in class you know that the plants will produce the same kind of tomatoes if ______

Answer: The blank can be filled correctly by "if the seeds contain the gene or allele responsible for large size of the tomatoes"

Explanation:

In plants also, characters or traits of characters are defined by genes. Different alleles produce different traits of the same character.

For example, in classic Mendelian genetics, T was the allele responsible for tall plant trait while t was the responsible for dwarf trait.

Similarly, there would be a gene(s) responsible for size of the tomatoes. In addition, seeds are the products of sexual reproduction of plants. So, they may carry genetic combination different from parent plants (due to meiosis, crossing over, independent assortment, et cetera).

So, if the seed contains the gene or allele responsible for large size of tomatoes then only they will produce same kind of tomatoes.

<span>What a fascinating question! Just out of college, on my first job, I was called to the delivery room to assist the obstetrician in collecting a blood sample from the not-yet born fetus? scalp. I was nearly immobilized at the sight of the impending birth. Ever since that night, I have gotten goosebumps when witnessing a birth. It is certainly an amazing event, and pondering the entire journey from conception to birth is marvelous! Some of the material I have found is published by religious, political and anti-abotion sites. Neither Google Answers nor I endorse any of these sites. Such web pages were cited here for conception and gestation information, and not because of ideology.</span>

What are the three main processes that make up aerobic respiration? Name each process, provide a brief description of the proces
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:  

Aerobic respiration is a process glucose produces energy in the presence of oxygen. In this process glucose is oxidized to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy in the form of ATP.

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ = 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy (ATP)

Three main processes that make up aerobic respiration are:

1. Glycolysis:  it takes place in the cytosol of the cell. Here, glucose is oxidized to form three carbon molecule pyruvate. This process produces energy in the form of 2 ATP molecules and 2 NADH molecules. These NADH molecules carries 2 energy electrons these electrons are utilized by the electron transport chain.

2. Kreb's cycle: it takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of the cell. Here, the molecules of pyruvate produced during glycolysis is utilized to produce ATP.

3. Electron transport chain:  glucose is not entirely converted into ATP. The NADH molecules produce during glycolysis  produces 2 energy electrons these electrons are taken up by electron transport chain in the mitochondria inner matrix. A proton gradient develops across the matrix after donation of electrons to electron transport chain. This gradient in turn produces energy in the form of ATP.

Dad: TtBb

Mom: ttbb

You have to use distribution for dihybrid crosses.  Meaning, the first allele of each trait has a equal chance of being paired with the other allele of the other trait.  So for example with Dad, I will number the traits:

T(1)t(2)B(3)b(4)

To set up the possibilities from Dad, it would be 13, 14, 23, 24: TB, Tb, tB, tb.  Same idea goes for Mom, except since all alleles are the same, you only need to make one column for Mom, since if you did all 4, the other 3 would just be repeats of the 1.

Cross:

                 tb

TB           TtBb

Tb           Ttbb

tB            ttBb

tb            ttbb
