IrinaK [193]

Answer;

The offsprings will be such that , a normal vision female, a heterozygous female, normal male and a colorblind male.

Explanation;

-Most X-linked traits in humans are recessive. One example of an X-linked trait is red-green colorblindness. Let (Xc) represent the recessive allele that causes colorblindness and (XC) represent the normal dominant allele. Females that are XCXC or XCXc have normal color vision, while XcXc females are colorblind. For males with; XcY are color blind, while those with XCY are have normal color vision.

Heterozygous female, XcXC

Normal male, XCY

The offspring of the parents, XcXC x XCY, are: XcXC (heterozygous female), XCXC( normal vision female), XCY (normal vision male), XcY (color blind male).

Katyanochek1 [597]
<h2>Mesophyll cells</h2>

Explanation:

The most distinctive characteristic of leaf mesophyll cells is that they are filled with many chloroplasts

Mesophyll cells constitute the main body of a leaf, occurring between upper and lower epidermis

Typically, the leaves of temperate-zone plants have two layers of mesophyll cells, the palisade mesophyll on the upper side and the spongy mesophyll on the lower side

The palisade mesophyll is a layer of densely packed, columnar cells which contain many chloroplasts, this layer is responsible for most of the photosynthesis of leaves

The spongy mesophyll is composed of large, often odd-shaped, photosynthetic cells separated from one another by large, intercellular spaces, these intercellular spaces apparently facilitate the exchange of photosynthetic gases

What enzyme connects new nucleotides and proofreads them in separated DNA strands?
horrorfan [7]
<span>DNA polymerase is the enzyme that connects new nucleotides and proofreads them into separate DNA strands. 

This process is part of DNA replication. A cell's DNA is replicated before a cell divides. The two strands of a DNA molecule have complementary base pairs. Each strand in the pair consists of a nucleotide sequence which is able to provide the information to duplicate itself. Before the duplication occurs, the length of the DNA that is about to be copied must be unwound and the two strands must be separated. This is done by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the pairs together. They must then be kept apart from each other to expose the bases so that the new nucleotide partners can bond to them. DNA polymerase is the enzyme that moves along the exposed DNA strand and joins the new nucleotides to manufacture a new DNA strand that is a duplicate of the original</span><span>
