Why does cells divide instead of just grow larger?

Ksivusya [100]3 years ago

Hello there :). Here is why cells divide instead of growing larger:

The larger a cell becomes, the more demands the cell places on its DNA. In addition, the cell has more trouble moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane. In time, the cell's DNA would no longer be able to serve the increasing needs of the growing cell.

You cross two true-breeding parents (one with yellow seeds and one with green seeds), grow and self-pollinate the F1 generation,
Andru [333]

Answer:

1500

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele for yellow seed color is "Y" and the allele for green seed color is "y". Genotype of pure breeding yellow seeded plant would be "YY" and that of the green seeded plant would be "yy". A cross between YY and yy gives all heterozygous yellow seeded plants (Yy) in F1 progeny. Self pollination of two F1 plants (Yy x Yy) obtains F2 generation in 3 yellow: 1 green ratio.

The total population size of F2 generation = 2000

The proportion of yellow seeded plants in F2 generation = 3/4 (since the F2 phenotype ratio is given 3 yellow: 1 green)

Therefore, total number of yellow seeded plants in F2 progeny = 3/4 x 2000= 1500

Musculi pectinati or pectinate muscles are identified as specialized intracardiac muscle. The muscular ridges are like combs. These ridges help the right atrium dilate without much walls stress during adverse loading conditions.</span>
