The cells of plants and animals are similar, except for a few different structures. Which structures are only found in plant cel
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

large central vacuole

cell wall

Explanation:

Let me clear some things up for you. There are two types of cells - Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. The principle difference between these types of cells are the structure of their genome. In case of prokaryotes, the genomic matter do not have a defined structure, it just kind of floats around in the protoplasm. But in the eukaryotes, the genome is more structured, have all kinds of proteins associated with them, and is surrounded by a two layered sack called the nuclear membrane. Both plant and animal cells have these feature of structured nucleus, therefore, they are both eukaryotes.

Now for the difference between plant and animal cells. the features you mentioned are unique about plant cells, but do not rule them out from being eukaryotes, as the 'true' structure of the nucleus is still there. Cell walls are necessary for the plant cells because plants do not posses an endoskeleton like most of the animals do. The cell wall makes the whole plant rigid so they don't fall apart or appear like a blob. Chloroplast is where photosynthesis happens, so it should most definitely be in a plant cell. Animals don't do photosynthesis so they don't have chloroplasts. Vacuoles are also present in animal cells, but they are much smaller, greater in number, and are known as lysosomes. Functionally they are virtually the same.

If someone with auburn hair has children with someone with red hair (but whose mother had black hair ) what are the genotype and
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The phenotype is - 75 % red and 25 %brown.

The genotype is hRhR - 25%

hBkhR - 50%

hBrhBk - 25%.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The cross given here is a simple dominant - recessive relationship between the three types of alleles of hair colour. The genes of this characteristics are present in autosomes, so will be segregated equally among all the sexes of the offsprings.

Now the genotype of auburn and red with black mother is given. So during gametogenesis, the gametes from the parents will be

Father - hBr and hR

Mother - hBk and hR

So, the probable combinations are hBrhBk, hBrhR and hBkhR.

The frequency of the combinations are 25%, 25% and 50% respectively.

The phenotypic ratio will be red : brown as 3:1.
