Answer:
a. different alleles of the seed shape gene.
Explanation:
Mendel crossed different varieties of pea plants and he observed how phenotypic traits passed to the progeny. From these experiments, Mendel formulated the 'First Law of Segregation', where he observed that traits may exist in pairs that segregate (separate) at meiosis. During meiosis, i.e., gamete formation, these two factors separate from each other, thereby each gamete has the same probability of receiving either factor. Nowadays, we know that these two factors represent two different gene variants or 'alleles' for a given gene <em>locus</em>. Alleles can be classified into dominant or recessive as in the example above described, where the R factor (round) dominates on the r factor (wrinkled) to determine the seed shape.
Answer:
The reason why only 3 out of the 22 possible autosomal trisomies are seen in newborns, is because the rest of them are chromosomal abnormalities not compatible with life and thus an spontaneous abortion occurs. The embryos suffering from these trisomies do not survive for more than a few weeks in the uterus, so the miscarriage often goes unnoticed for the mother as she may not have realized she was pregnant.
The only trisomies that are allow fetuses to be born are: Patau Syndrome (trisomy 13), Edwards Syndrome (trisomy 18), and Down Syndrome (trisomy 21). Out of these three, people with Down Syndrome have the largest life expectancy.
How was the naming of organisms different before carolus Linnaeus: Before Linnaeus came up with a standardized system of naming, there were often many names for a single species, and these names tended to be long and confusing. Linnaeus decided that all species names should be in Latin and should have two parts. Remember, this 2-part system is called binomial nomenclature///////.
Answer:
Answer: The correct option is C
Explanation:
The glycolytic pathway involves the oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate is oxidized by NAD+ and an inorganic phosphate is incorporated into the product to form an acyl-phosphate, 1,3-bisphosglycerate, which is an energy rich intermediate. NAD+ is reduced by the transfer of an hydride ion to form NADH. Once NADH is formed, its affinity for the enzyme decreases so that the free NAD+ displaces this NADH. The energy released by the oxidation of the substrate is conserved in the terminal phosphoanhydride bond of ATP via the formation of high energy intermediates.
Thus the oxidation/reduction is necessary to produce NADP which is required for ATP synthesis.
