Describe the structural organization shared by the cilia and flagella?

1 answer:

8 0

Both flagella and cilia have a common structural arrangement of microtubules referred to as "9 + 2 array." A single cilium or flagellum is made up of string of nine microtubule doublets that surround a single microtubule doublet in the center.

Flagella are hair-like structures which are usually long and they extend from the plasma membrane. They are used to propel or move an entire cell, for example sperm cell.

Cilia are short hair-like structures that are used to move entire cells. An example is paramecia. Cilia can also be found lining the outer surface of cells such as those of the respiratory tract where they move trapped particles up toward the nose and mouth.

In maize, a dominant allele A is necessary for seed color, as opposed to colorless (a). Another gene has a recessive allele wx t

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

1/2 Aa Wx wx (colored seeds, normal starch)
1/2 aa Wx wx (colorless seed, normal starch).

Explanation:

A (colored seed) is dominant over a (colorless)
Wx (normal starch) is dominant over wx (waxy)

Both loci are independent.

A Aa WxWx individual was test crossed (crossed with a homozygous recessive aa wxwx individual).

The homozygous recessive can only produce a wx gametes.
The dihybrid individual can produce two types of gametes, all of them with the same frequency because the genes segregate independently: 1/2 A Wx and 1/2 a Wx

The possible offspring resulting from the combination of those gametes is:

1/2 Aa Wx wx (colored seeds, normal starch)
1/2 aa Wx wx (colorless seed, normal starch).

Name the process where one bacterium DIVIDES INTO TWO by ASEXUAL reproduction

Binary fission cause Cloning is a hot ethical issue in the scientific community, but bacteria clone themselves all the time. In a process called binary fission, one bacterium doubles its size and genetic material, then splits to produce two identical cells.

Parents take their 8-year-old daughter into urgent care. the history reveals a low-grade fever of unknown origin and recent onse

Bond [772]

The doctor or nurse will ask a urine sample of the daughter for lab analysis to check for bacteria, red blood cells or white blood cells. Sometimes after the urine lab analysis it will be followed by a urine culture. This test will tell the doctor what kinds of bacteria are the source of the infection and which treatment or medicine will work the most. If the daughter is having frequent infections or low grade fever that the doctor concludes that it may have been caused by an abnormality in the urinary tract, she may have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a computerized tomography (CT) scan or ultrasound. The doctor or nurse may use a contrast dye as well to highlight structures in the child’s urinary tract. Moreover, the doctor may conduct a cystoscopy, using a long, thin tube with a lens (cystoscope) to see inside the child’s bladder and urethra if the child will have recurrent UTIs.
