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

to select for plants with mutations that knock out auxin production
Biology
1 answer:
Anni [7]3 years ago

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.

A _______cross explores two traits.<br> dihybrid<br> monohybrid<br> multihybrid<br> hybrid
Cloud [144]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A. dihybrid</em>

Explanation:

A cross is drawn to generate the possible outcomes of traits being passed from parents to offsprings.

A monohybrid cross can be described as a cross in which only one trait is studied. For example, just studying the trait for eye colour.

A dihybrid cross can be described as a cross in which two traits are studies in a single cross. For example, studying the traits for eye colour and skin colour.

Why are many bacterial infections more difficult to treat now than they were fifty years ago
ollegr [7]
Bacterial infections were much harder to treat a long time ago because we didn't have the same technology or information that we do now. because we have worked so long on treating different things we have learned what works and what doesnt. the new technology has helped us understand the infection which led to us being able to find medication to treat said infection.

Result of this action potential releases what ion from the terminal cisternae
spin [16.1K]
The  terminal  cisternae  releases  calcium  ion

  
The  terminal  cisternae   act  as   calcium  storage  sites.  The  calcium  ions  stored in  the  terminal  cisternae  are  essential  in  muscle   contraction. The  calcium  release  unit  of  muscle  consists of  terminal  cisternae  of  the  sarcoplasmic  reticulum  and  it  is  adjacent  transverse  or T-  tubule  that  is  the  invaginated  part  of  the  surface  membrane.
