according to nature . com

"Cytoplasm is a thick solution that fills each cell and is enclosed by the cell membrane. It is mainly composed of water, salts, and proteins. ... All of the organelles in eukaryotic cells, such as the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, are located in the cytoplasm."

i like to refer to it as slime in the cell that gives it structure.

Match the following terms and definitions. 1. alternative form for a specific gene (either dominant or recessive) hybrid 2. can
galben [10]

The answers would be:

1. Allele - alternative form for a specific gene (either dominant or recessive)

2. Dominant - can prevent the allele from being expressed in a pair of genes

3. Genotype - the genes present in an organism

4. Heterozygous - it is a pair of non-identical genes that influence a trait in different ways.

5. Homozygous - a pair of genes that are identical in the way they influence a trait.

6. Hybrid - offspring from a cross between parents; has different phenotypes for a specific trait.

Here's a little bit more on the topic to help you out in the future:

Alleles are variant forms of genes. Each allele is found in a specific location of a chromosome and that location determines the trait that will be expressed.

There are two types of alleles: Dominant alleles and Recessive alleles.

A dominant allele is expressed physically while a recessive allele is the trait that is masked. If both alleles are present, the dominant allele usually masks the recessive allele. This phenomenon is called <u>complete dominance</u>. There are some traits where both alleles are equally expressed, which is called <u>co-dominance. </u>

Genotype is the set of genes present in an organism that is responsible for specific traits. Phenotype on the other hand is the physical expression of the trait, which depends on the genotype of the organism.

Alleles come in pairs, they could either be homozygous or heterozygous.

Homozygous pairs consist of either 2 dominant alleles or 2 recessive alleles. The genotype would look something like this:

2 dominant :RR                 or     2 recessive: rr

Heterozygous pairs consist of non-identical alleles, or it has one dominant and one recessive allele. So the genotype would look like this:

Rr

Finally, hybrid is the cross-breeding of two different species that are genetically different. There are many examples of hybrid species like the liger and the mule. The resulting off springs express traits that are different than both parents.

What structure in the female reproductive system produces eggs?
allochka39001 [22]
ovary

These oocytes are formed during the early development of the person, it is together formed in the embryonic stage of development.

In puberty, these oocytes have now been mature thus, the individual is ready for her first menstruation, it takes time before these oocytes are fully developed but they are formed as early as the state of the genitalia, brain, body was formed.
<span>Somehow, it is like the brain, the brain is slowly developing til the near age of puberty or late childhood. </span>
<span>Eyes are also an analogy to oocytes, during infancy these organs aren't developed yet and these years the child can only see vague and blurred vision and takes almost 2 years for the child to see clearly.</span>

3. How would you date a sample of rock that you suspect as being one of the earliest on Earth? (1 point)
Kay [80]
<span>If I were attempting to date a rock sample that I suspect to be incredibly old, i would use radioactive isotopes with a long half life. When dating rocks and fossils to discover approximately how old they are, radioisotope dating is used on igneous rocks found near fossils. Things like Uranium 235, which is an unstable radioactive isotope of elements, decays at a constant rate over time so can be useful in determining age.</span>
