Answer:
Methotrexate inhibits the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis of the cells in the experiment.
Explanation:
Methotrexate competitively inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) which is involved in the synthesis of tetrahydrofolate from the inactive dihydrofolate. The methotrexate blocks the enzyme by binding to its active site thereby preventing further reaction of the dihydrofolate reductase enzyme and dihydrofolate. Tetrahydrofolate is a useful material for the de novo synthesis of thymidine, a nucleoside. And without thymidine, DNA synthesis is hindered. Methotrexate therefore inhibits the synthesis of DNA, RNA, thymidylates and of course protein synthesis.
Well firstly, alleles are different versions of genes. A dominant allele will show it's trait regardless of if the organism only has one copy of the allele (heterozygous). A recessive allele will show the effect only if two copies of the allele are present (homozygous)
Answer:
Pangenesis
Explanation:
The theory of 'pangenesis' was proposed by Darwin to explain the process of inheritance of genetic traits from one generation to next. According to this theory, gemmules are the tiny particles produced by all the somatic cells of the body of living beings. These gemmules are also called pangene. Blood carries gemmules from all the body cells to the gonads. These gemmules from all the somatic cells form germ cells in gonads.
Question 10 (2 points)
Both Dark and Light Tests: Fish only
Choose the statement below that best explains the results you observed from this
lab:
In the aquaria containing only fish, the dissolved oxygen content
increased over time because the fish go through respiration
A
decreased over time because the fish go through photosynthesis
decreased over time because the fish undergo cellular respiration but not
photosynthesis
D
stayed the same over time because the fish undergo both cellular respiration and
photosynthesis
B
