<span>The juxtaglomerular apparatus is a structure (formed by the distal convoluted tubule and the glomerular afferent arteriole) with the function in the regulation of blood pressure and the filtration rate of the glomerulus. Its primary components are:
</span> <span><span>· </span>the macula densa- specialized epithelial cells in the distal convoluted tubule (detect Na concentration),
</span> <span><span>· </span>juxtaglomerular cells- formed from the smooth muscle cells of the afferent arteriole (secrete renin),</span>
<span><span>· </span>extraglomerular mesangial cells (lacis cells)-unknown function.</span> <span> </span>
Answer No 1:
The set up of the punnet square is shown in the attached diagram. As the alleles assort independently hence the gametes formed will be OT,Ot,OT,Ot and OT,Ot,oT,ot. These will be the outcomes of the possible gametes formed. When these gametes are cross bred, the results are shown in the diagram attached.
Answer No 2:
The outcomes of each possible genotype are:
OOTT = 2/16
OOTt = 4/16
OOtt = 2/16
Oott = 2/16
OoTT = 2/16
OoTt = 4/16
Answer No 3:
The likelihood of each possible offspring phenotype is:
Orange petals with tall stem and orange petals with small stems present in ratio 12:4 i.e. 3:1.
Answer:
b. Vernalization
Explanation:
Vernalization is a phenomenon in which plants require low temperature for the flowering. There is either qualitatively or quantitatively dependent on exposure to very low temperature. This process is known as vernalization. Vernalization defines especially to the promotion of flowering by a period of low climate. For example; Vernalisation occurs in biennial plants. Biennials are monocarpic plants which normally flower and may die in the second season. Some common examples of biennials are carrots, Sugarbeet, cabbages, etc.
Molecules with similar shapes have similar biological effects, because shape (structure) dictates effects (functions).
