Meteorite: If a small asteroid<span> or large </span>meteoroid<span> survives its fiery passage through the Earth’s atmosphere and lands on Earth’s surface, it is then called a meteorite. Another related term is bolide, which is a very bright meteor that often explodes in the atmosphere.</span>

Describe the physical adaptations that all primates share
gulaghasi [49]

Primates are a group of mammals including humans, apes, monkeys, lemurs and lorises. The physical adaptations that all primates share are; a fairly generalized skeletal layout that can be used for many different modes of locomotion, specialized forelimbs, hands and feet, a larger brain especially the cerebral cortex, an omnivorous diet, stereoscopic vision that helps in the perception of depth and measuring distance and a small number of offspring at birth.

Suppose that the "fabulous" phenotype is controlled by two genes, A and B, as shown in the diagram below. Allele A produces enou
vitfil [10]

Answer:

The expected ratio of the F_2 generation from F_1 generation will be

<u>9 "fabulous": 3 "smashing": 4 "plain" </u>

Explanation:

The expression of the phenotype will follow Mendel's Dihybrid cross.

plain→smashing

(only when allele A is present, which produces Enzyme 1)

smashing→fabulous

(only when allele B is present, which produces Enzyme 2)

Keeping the above statements in mind, in F_2 generation, only the genotypes having both A and B alleles will express phenotype "fabulous",as both Enzyme 1 and Enzyme 2 are required for that. The genotype having at-least one A allele and no B allele will produce the phenotype "smashing", as Enzyme 1,produced by allele A, will convert "plain" into "smashing". Hence, the dihybrid cross will as in the attachment.

Transcription activators are different from transcription factors in that A. transcription factors prevent RNA polymerase bindin
Nesterboy [21]

Correct answer is option D.

Transcription activators accelerate transcription, while transcription factors assist RNA polymerase binding.

<h2><u></u></h2><h2><u>Explanation</u></h2>

Transcription factors are the proteins which help in proper binding of RNA polymerases in the promoter region of DNA so as to facilitate transcription.

Activators on the other hand, help in the enhancement of the transcription rate.  

Transcriptional activators are basically proteins which bind to the regulatory elements known as enhancers so as to increase the rate of transcription. Enhancers are specific DNA sequences, which may be present in the upstream or downstream region of the gene which is going to be transcribed.

It may be noted here that transcription factors are only present in eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, sigma factors are present instead of  transcription factors to facilitate proper binding of RNA polymerases on the DNA.

Based on thomsons plum pudding model of the atom what did rutherford expect to happen
charle [14.2K]

Rutherford reasoned that if Thomson's model was correct then the mass of the atom was spread out throughout the atom. Rutherford was forced to discard the Plum Pudding model and reasoned that the only way the alpha particles could be deflected backwards was if most of the mass in an atom was concentrated in a nucleus.
