Answer:
Nutrient cycle is a process of movement, reuse or recycling of nutrients in that particular environment. They are for both living and nonliving things, elements like carbon, oxygen are recycled through such cycles.
Nutrient cycle in an ecosystem involve:
- carbon cycle
- nitrogen cycle
- oxygen cycle
- phosphorus cycle
Answer:
mRNA: A-U-G-C-A-U-U-A
Explanation:
Given DNA template: T-A-C-G-C-T-A-A-T
Newly transcribed mRNA: A-U-G-C-A-U-U-A
Transcription is a process that uses DNA template strand to make RNA strands. The process occurs in nucleus. The nucleotide sequence of DNA template is always complimentary to its respective RNA sequence.
Here, thymine of DNA template strand pairs with adenine of newly formed RNA. Adenine of DNA template would pair with uracil of RNA. Guanine of DNA template pairs with cytosine.
Mitochondria use oxygen to make ATP in a process called oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondrion are found in most eukaryotic cells which are cells that make up plants, animals and fungi.
Answer:
F1 Females - all wild type
F1 Males - all wild type
F2 Females - - all wild type
F2 Males - 1/2 wild type, 1/2 vermilion
Explanation:
The wild-type allele (Xᵛ⁺) is dominant over vermilion (Xᵛ), which is a sex-linked trait.
Female flies have two X chromosomes, male flies have one X and one Y chromosome.
A homozygous wild-type female fly (Xᵛ⁺Xᵛ⁺) is mated with a vermilion male fly (XᵛY).
The female parent can only produce Xᵛ⁺ gametes.
The male parent can produce either Xᵛ or Y gametes.
When gametes from both parents fuse, the F1 offspring will have the genotypes Xᵛ⁺Xᵛ (females with wild type eyes) and Xᵛ⁺Y (males with wild type eyes).
The F1 females can produce Xᵛ⁺ and Xᵛ gametes. The F1 males can produce Xᵛ⁺ and Y gametes.
When the F1 individuals interbreed, the gametes combine to give rise to the F2 offspring. The possible combination of gametes that will give the different genotypes and phenotypes in the F2 are:
- Xᵛ⁺Xᵛ⁺ females with wild type eyes
- Xᵛ⁺ Y males with wild type eyes
- Xᵛ Xᵛ⁺ females with wild type eyes
- Xᵛ Y males with vermilion eyes
