<span>A) Ultraviolet light stopped the replication process of bacteria. 
Stopped or slowed this process, hint the sterilization.  

The question doesn't directly ask this but, after a while a lot of bacteria become immune to treatment especially antibiotics. </span>

Answer A) Ultraviolet light stopped the replication process of bacteria.

UV radiation is the mutagen which means it can cause mutation in the genome of the living organisms such as humans, bacteria, virus and other microorganisms. These rays are harmful for bacterial colonies when particularly exposed to wavelength of 260nm to 270nm. These radiations breaks molecular bonds within the bacterial DNA, these radiations results in the formation of thymine dimers which can kill the bacteria.

On the basis of the above description, Ultraviolet light stopped the replication process of bacteria is the relevant option.

Answer:

E2F transcription factors  

Explanation:

The E2F transcription factors (TFs) encode intracellular factors associated with the control of the cell cycle. E2F are TFs that bind to promoter consensus sequences in order to activate transcription. These TFs control the expression of target genes involved in cell proliferation including, among others, genes for DNA replication and mitotic activation. Moreover, the E2F proteins also may act as a link between cell fate and the cell cycle. The retinoblastoma (Rb) is a protein that modulates the activity of the E2F family of TFs, and it has been shown that the Rb/E2F pathway is a key molecular mechanism associated with cell proliferation.

"Which mode of inheritance produces heterozygotes with phenotypes that differ from either homozygote but typically more closely
lyudmila [28]

Which mode of inheritance produces heterozygotes with phenotypes that differ from either homozygote but typically more closely resembles one homozygous phenotype than the other?"

A) complete dominance

B) incomplete dominance

C) codominance

D) epistasis

E) incomplete penetrance

Answer:

B) incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance occurs when the dominant allele of a gene is not able to mask the expression of the recessive allele completely. This results in the expression of a phenotype in the heterozygous genotypes that differ from both homozygous genotypes. However, the phenotype of the heterozygote is closer to one of the homozygous genotypes.

For example, the petal color in four o'clock plant is controlled by a gene with two alleles R and r. Here, the "R" allele can not produce enough pigment in heterozygous conditions to completely mask the expression of the "r" allele and the phenotype of the "Rr" plant is "pink". On the other hand, the phenotype of "RR" plant is red while that of the "rr" plant is "white".

a man with pku marries a woman without any alleles for pku. what is the probability that their child will inherit pku?​
zvonat [6]

Answer:A man with pku marries a woman without any alleles for pku.There is little possibility that a child will inherit PKU

<u>Explanation: </u>

PKU Is Phenylketonuria results in less metabolism of amino acid. It might lead to a mental disorder or behavior problems. It is mostly Genetic.

If only one parent is suffering from it then there is little possibility that it will pass on to a child but if both the parents are having the problem of PKU then there are more chances that the child will also develop such a problem. It can be treated if we catch it at an early stage.
