Protein and blood cells cover major function of the cell membrane
Answer:
genes for flower color and edge shape are linked. They do not assort independently.
Explanation:
<u>Available data:</u>
- test cross between a purple-flowered pea plant having serrated leaves and a white-flowered pea plant having smooth edges.
- serrated leaves → dominant trait
- smooth edges → recessive trait
- purple color → dominant trait
- white color → recessive trait
- F1: 4 purple-serrated:1 purple-smooth:1 white-serrated:4 white-smooth.
There are two genes involved in the cross. The expected ratios are 1:1:1:1 because we assume genes assort independently. However, we see a different phenotypic distribution. When phenotypic ratios differ from the expected ones, it means that genes are linked.
To know if two genes are linked in the same chromosome, we must observe the progeny distribution. If individuals, whose genes assort independently, are test crossed, they produce a progeny with equal phenotypic frequencies 1:1:1:1. But if instead of this distribution, we observe a different one, that is that phenotypes appear in different proportions, we can assume that genes are linked in the double heterozygote parent
Answer:
c. because arteries carry high pressure blood from the heart
Explanation:
Arteries carry the oxygenated blood that is pumped directly from the left ventricle of the heart. Since they receive blood from the heart, the blood pressure is higher in arteries than veins. To withstand the higher pressure of blood pumped by heart, arteries have thicker walls than the walls of veins.
