Much like a cell, a virus is able to grow and reproduce in large numbers
A virus is a microscopic nonliving parasite that only reproduces inside the cells of living hosts. Like cells, viruses have the ability to grow and reproduce within the host cell. When a virus infects a host cell, it injects its genetic material into the cell and forces the host cell to produce thousands of similar copies of the original virus.
Answer:
With respect to the composition of DNA, in an analysis it can be found that the proportions of nucleotides are A + C = G + T (option a).
Explanation:
The proportion of nucleotides in a DNA molecule can be established according to the sequence of these nucleotides on both complementary strands, since the purinic bases of one strand are complemented by the pyrimidinic bases of another:
- <em>Adenine is complemented with Thymine A=T</em>
- <em>Guanine is complemented with Cytosine G=C</em>
From this we can deduce that in a DNA molecule with two chains there will be the same amount of adenine and thymine, as well as the same number of guanine with respect to cytosine, so:
<em> A + C = G + T</em>
An example of this would be a known DNA molecule (hypothetical), with 5 molecules of Adenine and 7 molecules of Guanine. In this case there are 5 Thymines, complementary with Adenine, and 7 Cytosines like Guanine:
<em> A + C = G + T</em>
<em> 5 + 7 = 7 + 5</em>
Answer:
cell walls, vacuoles, chloroplasts, centriole
Explanation:
Plant cells have cell walls, one large vacuole per cell, and chloroplasts, while animal cells will have a cell membrane only and several smaller vacuoles. Animal cells also have a centriole, which is not found in most plant cells.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
it is the amount of energy required to activate the reaction.
Answer:
17
Explanation:
In corn,
Smooth kernel (S) is dominant to rough kernel (s)
Purple kernel (P) is dominant to yellow kernel (p)
Since no information has been given about the cross here let us assume it to be a standard dihybrid cross.
The phenotypic ratio of dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1. 9/16 will show dominant phenotype for both traits, 3/16 will show dominant phenotype for one trait, other 3/16 will show dominant phenotype for the second trait, 1/16 will have recessive phenotype for both the traits.
Here,
Purple rough (P_ss) = 52
Yellow smooth (ppS_) = 50
Both of them show dominant phenotype for one trait so they each form 3/16 of the progeny.
If the total progeny was z, 3/16*z = 50
z = (50*16)/3 = 267
Total progeny = 267 kernels
Yellow rough kernels (ppss) = (1/16*267) = 17
So approximately 17 corn kernels will be yellow and rough.
