Answer:
False
Explanation:
Mendel realized that the F2 had a phenotypic ratio 3:1, meaning 3/4 = 75% were yellow and 1/4 = 25% green.
Mendel observed that the F1 expressed only one of the alternative variants (in this case, only yellow seeds appeared), while the other variant (green) disappeared. Mendel named dominant the expressed variant. Mendel allowed auto pollination and observed that in the second generation, F2, the other disappeared variant reappeared. Both alternative variants were present in the F2. Mendel named recessive the second alternative variant.
Mendel thought that hereditary traits determined by discrete factors were the possible explication for these phenotypes. These factors should have been present in the F1 in pairs. One of them came from one parental plant, and the other factor came from the other plant. These factors then separated again when sex cells were produced, giving two types of gametes, each with only one factor.
Mendel concluded that each individual (plant) has a pair of factors (alleles), one for each trait (yellow and green) and that the pair separates (segregates) during the formation of the gametes. This conclusion is known as the segregation principle (First Mendels´ Low).
Answer:
- There are three main steps to DNA replication: initiation, elongation, and termination.
- In order to fit within a cell's nucleus, DNA is packed into tightly coiled structures called chromatin, which loosens prior to replication, allowing the cell replication machinery to access the DNA strands.
Homeostasis: A state of balance reached through reactions within a cell or organism.
Metabolism: The total of all chemical reactions within an organism.
Organism: Any living thing that takes in food, grows, and reproduces.
Answer:
a vestigial structure
Explanation:
Vestigial structures are a rudimentary (or even functionless) version of a body part, but they have important functions in a closely correlated or evolutionarily close species, an example of which is the presence of eyes in fish of the genus Astyanax. The existence of these vestigial structures is strong evidence that evolution occurs in organisms, since this structure, today without much apparent function, may in the past have been extremely important to the ancestors of that species.
