Before mitosis begins, what happens during S-phase?

A
Before meiosis begins, during S phase of the cell cycle, the DNA of each chromosome is replicated so that it consists of two identical sister chromatids, which remain held together through sister chromatid cohesion. This S-phase can be referred to as "premeiotic S-phase" or "meiotic S-phase".

Gregor Mendel's research consisted of using parent pea plants that were pure breeds. What genotype(s) would be considered pure b
laila [671]

Answer:

The genotypes thatwould be considered pure breeds are BB and bb

Explanation:

The genotype of an organism refers to an organism's complete set of genetic material or genes.

Genes are units of DNA that carries information for a particular physical or functional trait or character in an organism. Some genes act as instructions to make proteins while some genes do not code for proteins. The proteins made by a gene expresses the traits and characters of that organisms. Genes for a particular trait may have one or more variants known as alleles.

In Gregor Mendel's research using pea plants, flower colour in a pea plant had two different alleles; one for red flower colour and one for white flower colour. If a plant had the same allele for flower colour, the plant was considered a pure breed.

For example, given B was the allele for red flower colour and b was the allele for white flower colour, a plant having the two alleles for white flower colour bb, is a pure breed. Similarly, a plant having the two alleles for red flower colour, BB is a true breed.

Dr. Smith's parents have normal hearing. However, Dr. Smith has an inherited form of deafness. Deafness is a recessive trait tha
earnstyle [38]

The options are incomplete and have been listed incorrectly. Complete question has been attached.

Answer:

C) Dd and Dd

Explanation:

It is given that deafness is a recessive trait which means that Dr. Smith has genotype dd since a recessive trait can only be expressed when both the alleles in genotype are recessive. However, his parents are normal. So his parents can have DD or Dd genotype. Dr. Smith has obtained one recessive d allele from his father and other recessive d allele from his mother. Thus, the parents should have Dd genotype and the correct option is c.

Describe two ways to protect the biodiversity of local forest ecosystems.
Evgen [1.6K]
One way to protect the biodiversity of local forest ecosystems would be to prevent the logging or destruction of the fire by humans or also by natural disaster such as forest fires. Another way for forest ecosystems to be protected could be working to reduce pollution in nearby areas and also preventing the contamination of the water sources nearby.

Suppose you are recording a neuron’s resting membrane potential. If you added more KCl to the external medium, what would happen
Talja [164]

Answer:

addition to the external medium.

Genearlly, potassium is an intracellualr ion, therefore there is higher concentration of potasium ions with its positive charges inside than outside.In addition potassium ion has many leaking potassium  channels in the cell membrane,which permit K+ to escape down the gradient to the extracellular medium.

Therefore when  KCl is added to the external medium of a resting neuron, the concentration of external K+ increase than intracellular medium, preventing K+ from diffusing out  to the external medium, retaining their positive charges, therefore favouring depolarization of the neuron.This  decreases the RMP, leading  to depolarization.

If the KCl is reduced, less k+ are available outside  compare to the inner medium.Therefore  electrochemical gradients  is sets up for leaking of K+out of the intracellular layers, caring  the positive charges along, leaving the inside more negative (together with the negative charges of the  anions of the intracellular layer). This is reversal of charges.And it  increases the RMP.
