Yes, Avery, Mc Leod and Mc Carty do thought that genes may be involved in the transformation of non virulent rough Strains of <em>Diplococcus pneumoniae</em> to harmful smooth strained bacteria
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Avery was a Canadian medical researcher who along with other two well known scientists of the contemporary time went for an experiment where he took two strains of bacteria Diplococcus pneumoniae - one is rough and nonvirulent and another is smooth and virulent. For a control run, he injected both the bacteria in separate mice and the expected result was there. Now as he injected heat killed smooth bacteria, the mice survived. But as he injected heat killed smooth bacteria with rough bacteria, although there was no organism which can kill the mice the mice died. And autopsy revealed the presence of live smooth bacteria in the lungs.
Thus they suspected something have gone from the dead smooth bacteria into the non virulent rough bacteria which lead to transformation of the rough bacteria to smooth ones. Thus, the experiment was carried on, which suspected role of genes in this transformation.
Answer:
No, you need both mass and volume to determine its desity to see if it can float.
Explanation:
Density is the only thing affecting whether something floats or sinks. If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in (fluid can mean liquid or gas), it will sink. If it has a lower density, it will float. Density is determined by an object's mass and volume.
Answer:
The correct answer would be:
- Genotype ratio: 1 (PP) : 2 (Pp) : 1 (pp)
- Phenotypic ratio: 3 (polka-dot tails) : solid colored tail
The genotype of both parents is Pp (heterozygous).
Thus, both the parent would produce two types of gametes which are P and p.
The cross would result in the production of offspring with three types of genotype PP, Pp, and pp in 1:2:1.
Offspring with PP and Pp will have a polka-dotted tail as it is the dominant trait.
Thus, the phenotype ratio would be 3 (polka-dotted tail) : 1 (solid colored tail).
<span>Factors that can increase mutation rates are high and low temperatures, food additives, and UV rays. All of these answers are correct. Mutation rates in genes vary depending on many environmental effects. UV rays, along with varying temperatures, can cause mutations during cell division due to the damage they impart on the cells that are dividing. Dangerous food additives are believed to cause mutations, as seen in animal studies (ie. aspartame causing cancer in rats).</span>
