A biologist subjects 200 plants to irradiation by X rays to induce mutations in the plants' genes. What should the biologist do

Biology

Answer:

by phenotypically identifying plants unable (or with an altered ability) to synthesize auxins. This approach is called reverse genetics

Explanation:

Reverse genetics is a strategy widely used in molecular genetics aimed at analyzing the function of target genes by identifying defective phenotypes of one or more organisms following the disruption of the gene. In this case, a mutagenesis approach (i.e., irradiation with X-rays) was used to induce mutations in the gene/s involved in auxin production. Subsequently, the resulting mutant phenotypes, i.e., plants with an altered ability to synthesize auxin, can be used to reveal the biological function of individual (mutated) gene sequences.

How can someone inherit a trait from their parent while the sibling does not please help me!!!
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Genetics is the study of how heritable traits are transmitted from parents to offspring. Humans have long observed that traits tend to be similar in families. It wasn't until the mid-nineteenth century that larger implications of genetic inheritance began to be studied scientifically.

If the heart becomes damaged or weakened, how will this affect the body’s systems?
jek_recluse [69]
Think of blood as a gas/ fuel for the car ( your body). If there is no fuel, there's no movement (dead) so when the fuel tank is damaged the car won't function properly. 
 So if the heart becomes damaged, or weakened it would start making blood clots and damage the organs that need blood to function properly. The circulatory system wouldn't function properly and because other organs depend on the circulatory system it would cause a chain reaction, affecting other body systems. <span />
