Answer:

The cell would fail to function. It would likely fail to properly replicate DNA properly or transcribe genes.

Explanation:

The nucleus holds the genetic information, the DNA. If the nucleus does not grow properly, the DNA might not fit or be properly organized inside. This would mean DNA replication could not proceed as normal, and the DNA might not even be able to fit inside the nucleus!

The cell would also struggle to properly transcribe the DNA if the nucleus is not fully formed. DNA acts as a template for mRNA transcription, which directs protein synthesis. The cell will very quickly die if there are inaccuracies in protein synthesis due to mRNA not being adequately synthesized.

Answer:

The Y chromosome is an accurate indicator of a person's external sex organs.

Explanation:

Since females have two X chromosomes while males have one X and one Y chromosome, if you are aware of the presence of a Y chromosome you can safely assume that a person is a male. Therefore, you can assume what external sex organs a male has.

When studying pea plants, Gregor Mendel made many interesting discoveries and came to a few conclusions about what happens as a
Art [367]

Answer:

The options have been placed in the comment section. The answer is C. Inheritance of genes from both parents

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel is referred to as the FATHER OF GENETICS due to his immense contribution to the discovery of how traits are passed down or inherited from parents to offsprings. He found out that a unit of inheritance, which was later called GENE, was responsible for each individual trait of pea plants.

In his numerous experiments, Mendel discovered that the characteristics/traits of pea plants were determined by the contribution of both parents. Mendel hypothesized that each parent contributed 50% of this unit of inheritance via fertilization to the characteristics of an offspring. Hence, the inheritance of genes from both parents determines the characteristics of a pea plant.
