In pea plants, smooth seed texture is dominant over wrinkled seed texture. A gardener has a pea plant that produces smooth seeds

. How can the Gardener determine whether the plant is homozygous?
Biology

Answer:

By test crossing the pea plant with a homozygous recessive pea plant

Explanation:

<em>A test cross involves crossing of an individual with doubtful genotype with an individual that is homozygous recessive for the same trait in order to determine whether the individual with doubtful genotype is homozygous or heterozygous for the trait in question.</em>

Assuming the gardener's pea plant is homozygous (SS), one would expect all the progeny to be smooth seeded when the pea plant is test-crossed with a homozygous recessive pea plant such that

SS x ss = Ss, Ss, Ss and Ss (assuming the allele for seed texture to be S)

Assuming the gardener's pea plant is heterozygous (Ss):

Ss x ss = Ss, Ss, ss and ss. Hence, one would expect 50% of the progeny to be smooth seeded and 50% to be wrinkled seeded.

What is the difference between the ligamentum arteriosum and the ductus arteriosus?
Goshia [24]
In fetal life, the lungs are not expanded, so most of the blood from the right ventricle is shunted from the pulmonary artery to the aorta through the patent ductus arteriosus. With a few breaths the lungs expand, and blood flows from right ventricle to pulmonary artery into the lungs. Withdrawal of circulating prostaglandin from the mother plus bradykinins released from the expanding lung of the infant cause the ductus to close over a few minutes to hours. The closed ductus remains as the ligamentum arteriosum.

When setting up a Sanger sequencing reaction, each reaction should include template DNA, nucleotides, dideoxynucleotides, buffer
kondaur [170]

Answer:

b. Forward or reverse primers

Explanation:

Sanger sequencing is a technique of DNA sequencing based on the extension of DNA fragments with variable sizes terminated with dideoxynucleotides at the 3′ end. This technique was developed by Frederick Sanger in 1977. In Sanger sequencing, a short primer is added in order to bind by complementarity to the target DNA region of interest. Subsequently, a DNA polymerase adds nucleotides (A, T, C and G) in the 5'-3' direction. Finally, the extension of the DNA strand is stopped by adding dideoxynucleotides, which are nucleotide analogs (i.e., modified nucleotides) that act as DNA synthesis terminators.

Briefly explain the relationship between cells, organs and tissues
Mazyrski [523]

Answer/Explanation:

Cells of a similar type are organized together to make tissues. Different types of tisues come together to perform a similar function as part of organs.

For example, take the organ the stomach. There are various tissues that make up the stomach, including, for example, mucosa, and muscle tissue.

The mucosa tissue of the stomach is made up of secretory cells such as parietal cells, which secrete hydrochloric acid, and foveolar cells which produce mucus that protects the lining of the stomach.
