Bacteria reproduces exponentially so like at first you’d have one, then 2, then 4, then 16... (because each bacteria splits into 2) and eventually a few hours later you’ll have millions
Answer: Point mutation is easily reversible, thus non-lethal
Explanation:
Point mutation is caused by exchange of a single nucleotide for another. These change is called
1) Transition (when a purine base substitute another purine base, or pyrimidine bases substitute each other)
2) Transversion (when a purine base substitute a pyrimidine base).
However, note that a point mutation can be easily reversed by another point mutation; so, the claim that a nucleotide difference in the Hsr12 gene caused the human disease is inaccurate
Answer:
Genotype of parents: Ss x ss
Genotype of offsprings: Ss ss
Expected ratio of short to long: 2 : 2 = 1 : 1
The actual ratio in this problem is Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair: 8 : 3
Explanation:
In cats the allele for short hair is dominant over the allele for long hair. (SS or Ss for short hair; ss for long hair).
A short haired male and long haired female have kittens. Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair.
For the parents to have been able to produce long haired offsprings, it means both parents possess one copy each of the recessive traits. Thus we have
Phenotype of parent: A short haired male and long haired female
Genotype of parents: Ss x ss
Genotype of offsprings: Ss ss
Expected ratio of short to long: 2 : 2 = 1 : 1
The actual ratio in this problem is Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair: 8 : 3
Answer:
C) is correct
Explanation:
The United States has a smaller population than China, but has a higher per capita greenhouse gas emission, resulting in a larger carbon footprint on a national level.
