Answer:

True

Explanation:

There are certain limitations associated with the Punnett Squares. They are not useful in case of complex genetic inheritance such as linkage between two genes. In case of linkages it becomes difficult to estimate the distribution of genotypes and phenotypes. For example in case of  Nail-patella Syndrome and gene associated with blood group two genes lie on the same chromosome in close vicinity and hence there are high chances of inheritance of these traits in the offspring from the parent thereby causing  random distribution of the two traits. This random distribution cannot be captured through punnet square.  

The same problem is associated in case where a single gene is determined by multiple genes with graded effects of each gene.

The cell cycle
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:The cell cycle a. includes mitosis as an event.

Explanation:

The cell cycle consists of two stages:

interface and phase M (mitosis). In the first, the cell grows and doubles its DNA; It consists of phases G1, G2 and S. In phase M, the cell divides its already duplicated DNA and the cytoplasm divides into 2 (cytokinesis), forming 2 daughter cells. There is a G ° phase, where the cell is in a "vegetative" state, called "senescence." The cell cycle is regulated cyclin / CDK complexes, tumor suppressor genes (example: p53).

Why are digestive enzymes in cell enclosed in a membrane-bound organelle
vodomira [7]
The digestive enzymes can only recognize the structure of the substrate but can not recognize whether it is inside cell or from outside. So if there is no membrane, the enzyme will digest the structure of its own.

Give two reasons why it is better for human muscle cells to produce energy through aerobic respiration than through anaerobic re
NISA [10]
Anaerobic respiration (without oxygen) would caused muscle cells to produce lactic acid. This causes the muscles to ache and in the long term, damages them. Also anaerobic respiration releases far less energy (ATP) than aerobic respiration. So it is best for muscle cells to respire aerobically as they need more energy.
