Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an important model organism in the field of genetics. One of the first mutant genes to be studied in

this species was golden. The mutant allele was discovered in a pigmentation mutant purchased from a pet store, which changed the color of the fish from the wild-type silver-white coloration to a pale golden color. Calculate the percent likelihood of golden offspring from a cross between a heterozygous wild-type male fish to a golden female fish a 0% b 50% c 25% d 100%

Answer:

b

Explanation:

<em>Let the wild type trait, the silver-white, be represented by </em><em>A</em><em> allele and the mutant trait, the golden color, be represented by </em><em>a</em><em> allele.</em>

Heterozygous wild-type male fish would be Aa

Golden female fish would be aa

     Aa    x    aa

  Aa   Aa    aa    aa

2/4 Aa = silver-white

2/4 aa = golden color

<em>Hence, the percent likelihood of golden offspring is </em><em>2/4 or 50%.</em>

The correct option is b.

Which statement describes an event from the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis?
defon

The correct answer is option 4, that is, ATP and NADPH are produced.  

The light-dependent reactions refer to an array of biochemical reactions in the process of photosynthesis, which need light energy that is captivated by the light-absorbing pigments like chlorophyll. The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.  

The light-dependent reactions use energy in the form of light to produce two molecules required for the next phase of photosynthesis, that is, the energy storage molecule ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH.

What would most likely happen to the carbon cycle if there were no more plants on Earth?
Artyom0805 [142]
Plants use carbon to live, just like humans use oxygen.  It's a virtuous cycle sine humans breathe oxygen and expel carbon, and plants "breathe" carbon and expel oxygen.

If plants weren't there to "breathe" the carbon, it would just sit in the world, and build up in the atmosphere.

The answer is pili. the specific type of pili that can exchange genetic information is conjugative pili. when bacteria exchange geetc information, this process is called bacterial conjugation. conjugative pili can also be named as sex pili because they also allow exchange of genes
