Which of the following statements correctly describes the genetic material inside a virus?

gogolik [260]

Cacti grow in the desert, which is a very hot climate. Not the best for both gaining and maintaining water supplies, due to the fact that water becomes vapour very quickly in conditions such as a desert (unless we're talking about polar deserts).

Keeping their stomata closed during the day stops water vapour from escaping their cells. While this does inhibit growth and stop new water molecules from entering, it allows the cactus to maintain a healthy amount of water within itself.

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to continue to grow and divide in their non-specialized state for lo

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Stem cells are the cells which have the ability to form different types of cells. They differentiate and specializes to perform different functions in the body and thus forms the different cells.

The differentiation and specialization are controlled at the gene level by different patterns of gene expression. The pattern of gene expression is not fully understood during development but research have shown that the gene expression is influenced by the different environmental signals and internal regulators.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

Suppose two independently assorting genes are involved in the pathway that determines fruit color in squash. These genes interac

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

100% yellow fruit color, Yyww.

Explanation:

Available data:

two independently assorting genes

the W allele codes for a dominant white phenotype

w allele codes for a colored squash

The allele Y codes for a dominant yellow phenotype

the allele y codes for a recessive green phenotype

The phenotypes from the first locus will always mask the phenotype produced by the second locus if the dominant allele (W) is present at the first locus. This masking pattern is known as dominant epistasis

Epistasis means "interruption" and refers to interactions between genes located in different loci in the same chromosome. An “epistatic gene” can alter, influence, or suppress the expression of a "hypostatic gene". When the epistatic gene is dominant, the interaction is known as "dominant epistasis".

W suppresses the expression of Y and y, this means that whenever W is present, the fruit is white. If W is not present, the fruit color can be expressed.

So, the proposed cross in the present problem occurs between a green fruited individual and yellow fruited individual, which suggests that W is absent.

Genotype for Green fruit: yyww

Genotype for purebred Yellow fruit: YYww

Cross:

Parental) YYww x yyww

Gametes) Yw Yw Yw Yw yw yw yw yw

Punnet square) Yw Yw Yw Yw

yw Yyww Yyww Yyww Yyww

F1) 100% Yellow fruited plants, Yyww

As these two genes assort independently, we can also represent the cross for each gene by separate, like this:

For w gene:

Parental) ww x ww

Gametes) w w w w

Punnet square) w w

w ww ww

F1) 4/4 or 100% colored-fruits

For Y gene:

Parental) YY x yy

Gametes) Y Y y y

Punnet square) Y Y

y Yy Yy

F1) 4/4 or 100% yellow fruits, Yy.

Identify the difference between theory and a law.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Theory is not definite, while Law is.

Explanation:

A Theory is an idea or set of ideas that has proven itself many times, but has certain loopholes that prevent absolute certainty. Meanwhile, a Law is a Theory without loopholes.
