The correct answer is: E) cleavage furrow formation and cytokinesis
Cytochalasin B (cytos-cell and chalasis-relaxation) is a molecule which inhibit network formation by actin filaments by blocking monomer addition. As a result, itshortens actin filaments. This molecule is involved in cytoplasmic division where it blocks the formation of contractile microfilaments. One of the microfilament’s function includes cytokinesis and formation of cleavage furrow so these functions are affected by cytochalasin B.
Given:
Allele for green pod colour = Gg (Heterozygous)
Allele for Yellow pod colour = gg (Homozygous)
Explanation:
Parents: Gg x gg
When this two parent are crossed, it leads to the following F1 generation (off springs):
<em>• Gg (green colour pod)
</em>
<em>• Gg (Green colour pod)
</em>
<em>• gg (Yellow colour pod)
</em>
<em>• gg (Yellow colour pod)
</em>
Form the produced offspring it can be inferred that the allele combination for green colour pod is Gg. Among the four off springs obtained 2/4 are green colour pod and 2/4 are yellow colour pod.
Those mutated genes are most commonly recessive. Females have two X chromosomes so they can have a chromosome with the mutated gene and one with the healthy gene. The healthy gene is dominant so the disease won't manifest, and the woman is only a carrier. Males have only one X chromosome and an Y chromosome. If they have the mutated gene on the X chromosome they won't have another X chromosome with the healthy gene.
To summarize, men can't be carriers and they only need one copy of the mutated X-linked gene while women need two copies of the mutated gene.
Wind power:
Advantages:
-Using wind as a source of power is very cost-effective. This is method is fuel free and the electricity harvested from wind farms is sold at a fixed price over a long period of time.
-Wind power is a clean fuel source. Using wind as a source of power prevents air pollution unlike power plants that mostly rely on fossil fuels which releases toxins into the hair causing both environmental and health problems.
-Wind power is a sustainable source of power since nothing can really stop it from being produced. Since this source of power relies on air, as long as there is air, energy can be harvested.
Disadvantages:
-Wind turbines are usually built in rural areas due to the size of them and the amount of space needed to build them. Because of this, they aren’t usually close to cities or remote locations where the energy harvested from them is most needed.
-Wind turbines can harmfully impact nature. Because of their height and size, many birds and other flying animals end up getting killed by the spinning blades connected to the turbine.
-Locations to build wind turbines may be hard to get due to competition with other things that may be of more importance on the land compared to wind farms.
