The cactus has a specialized fleshy stem and it's leaves function only for protection. Which plant tissues most likely makes up

the stem?

The correct answer is vascular tissues.  

Vascular tissues most likely form the stem. The prime vessels observed on the vascular tissue are the phloem and the xylem. These two tissues function as an element for the conduction of nutrients and water within the stem.  

The xylem transports some nutrients and water from the roots, while the phloem transports the soluble organic constituents, which were generated at the time of photosynthesis from the leaves.

Speculate as to how the information obtained from the sequencing of the human genome might be used to someday eliminate inborn e
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sequencing the human genome is the function of the human genome project with the goal of determining the base pairs/order of DNA nucleotides that make up human genome, and also identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome both from the physical level and its functions in molecular medicine. The benefits in this field could allow for better diagnosis of disease, early detection of certain diseases, and gene therapy and control systems for drugs.

Inborn errors of metabolism are rare genetic (inherited) disorders where the body cannot properly digest and turn food into energy through the normal pathway. The disorders are usually caused by mutations in specific enzymes that help in the break down of these foods.

Through the study of the human genome, sequences involved in these mutations giving rise to these disorders are identified and mapped to their variuos locations. This can help in the early diagnosis of the disorders and effective control system for drugs and gene therapy against these disorders.

Compared the Mendelian Dominance, how to incomplete dominance and codominance increase the number of phenotypes? Provide an exam
REY [17]

Answer/Explanation:

<h3>Incomplete dominance</h3>

In incomplete dominance, one allele is not entirely dominant over the other, so heterozygotes (organisms with two different alleles for the gene) show an intermediate or blended phenotype.

For example, consider flower colour.

  • If the allele for red flowers (R) was dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), then there are three possible genotypes (RR, Rr, and rr) and two possible phenotypes. (Red (RR and Rr) and white (rr)).
  • However, if the allele for red flowers (R) was incompletely dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), then there are three possible genotypes (RR, Rr, rr), and three possible phenotypes (red (RR), white (rr), and pink (Rr))
<h3>Co-dominance</h3>

In incomplete dominance, two alleles are both expressed, one is not dominant over the other. Therefore, heterozygotes (organisms with two different alleles for the gene) express both traits.

For example, consider flower patterns.

  • If the allele for spots (F) was dominant over the allele for stripes (f), then there are three possible genotypes (FF, Ff, and ff) and two possible phenotypes. (Spots (Ff and ff) and stripes (ff)).
  • However, if the allele for spots (F) was co-dominant to the allele for stripes (f), then there are three possible genotypes (FF, Ff, ff), and three possible phenotypes (spots (FF), stripes (ff), and spots and stripes (Ff))
