Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen of different species to stigma of different species of plants.
Cross pollination results in healthy, viable and diverse plants.
Mendel observed that traits could either be dominant or recessive.
Blended traits or incomplete dominance is the condition in which dominant allele could not produce its trait alone instead blending with recessive allele takes place giving new phenotype to progeny.
Explanation:
In cross pollination pollen transfer takes place from anthers to stigma. In Mendelian genetics the anthers of the plant was removed because it has both male and female parts on same plant so that self pollination does not take place.
The importance of cross pollination is that it creates diversity in the plant species since the traits having different alleles are combined to form the progeny plant. The offspring are healthier and high quality seeds are found.
Mendel observed that traits are either dominant or recessive in general. It was observed that when homozygous parents were crossed, the progeny in F1 generation always had dominant trait. The recessive trait only appeared when F1 generation offspring were self pollinate.
Blended traits or incomplete dominance appear when alleles get blended and exhibit the traits in phenotype. The phenotype appeared will not be matching with either parents.
The example is a white coloured flower is crossed with red colour flower the resultant colour of the flower is pink. It shows that dominant allele red is not completely dominant and gets blended with white colour.
Answer: D. Keratin
Explanation: Keratinocytes (pronounced: ker-uh-TIH-no-sites) make keratin, a type of protein that's a basic component of hair, skin, and nails. Keratin in the skin's outer layer helps create a protective barrier.
They are similar in three main ways
1.Both DNA and proteins are polymers.
2. Both are made from smaller subunits joined together. DNA is made of subunits called nucleotides joined together and protein is made up subunits called amino acids joined together.
3. In both of them, these subunits or monomers are linked together by covalent bonds.
Nucleotides are a combination of a nitrogen - rich base that is either adenine, guanine, cytosine or thymine, together with a phosphate group and a sugar.
Answer:
<u>Sister chromatids are identical forms of chromatids of a chromosomes. They are mostly formed by semi-conservative replication of DNA molecule of a single chromosome.Thus they are like </u><u>'photocopies' </u><u> of original parent chromosomes; joined together at the Centromere</u>.
They are exactly similar in all ramification; with the same gene and allele compositions..
<u>However; slight differences arise between the two identical sisters due to </u><u>mutation</u><u> from</u><u> errors </u><u>at replication;and also in the length of telomere repeats.</u>
Non-sister chromatids are dissimilar forms of chromatids of a chromosomes formed when each half of a chromosome at fertilisation from separate haploid sex-cells, of each parent. fused.They contain different genetic composition;because they are not on the same homologous chromosomes.Therefore crossing -over ensure variation.
<u>However, they are genetically similar in composition; if they are contained in homologous chromosomes</u>. This is because Synapsis of bivalent of these chromosomes allow genetic material to be shared by chromosomal crossing-over between the non-sister chromatids on the chromosomes ; therefore identical genetic characteristics are shared .
Explanation:
Option C. Organisms were probably more complex during past eras.
