The human cell has the largest surface area to volume ratio is Sperm cell or spermatozoa and its ratio is 1.55
<u>Explanation:</u>
Spermatozoa is a uni-flagellar motile sperm cell that basically determines the sex of an offspring. It moves from the haploid male gamete,its contributes in 1/2 nuclear genetic information to diploid.
The surface area of sperm cell is measured by micro-metric method or electron mircographs using stereo-logical method. While the volume will be measured by stereology or radio label volume exclusion method. The volume and surface area inversely proportional to cell size.
Alleles are letters that represent dominant and recessive traits.
A capital letter represents a dominant trait
A lowercase letter represents a recessive trait.
Dominant traits over shadow the recessive ones. This is known as complete dominance.
Referring to your questions let's us the alleles HH, Hh, and hh for the height of the pea plants.
But what do those letters mean?
HH = homozygous dominant (Tall)
Homo means same.
hh = homozygous recessive (Short)
Now this is different: here's Hh.
There's a capital AND lowercase letter.
This means that the plant carries the gene for tall and short plants, and can pass on either trait to the offspring.
BUT the dominant always over shadows the recessive. So Hh is a tall plant.
Hh = heterozygous (hybrid) (Tall)
You can interpret hetero meaning different.
Now I hope you're with me!
For question two it asks if a short plant can ever be a hybrid.
Referring to what I just said, that answer would be no.
Because there is no dominant trait to over shadow the recessive.
And short plants have the hh alleles, and they are homozygous NOT heterozygous (hybrid).
I hope this helps, and makes sense! If you have any questions please let me know. Genetics can be confusing.
A micrograph is "false-colored" because scientists often use computer techniques to add color in the colorless electrons to make certain structures stand out.
