A correct flow chart is DNA i.e., gene (transcription) >> mRNA + tRNAs (translation) >> amino acids or protein >> phenotype. It is the flow of the genetic information.

<h3>What is the flow of genetic information?</h3>

The flow of genetic information refers to the molecular process from DNA to the final phenotype (i.e., protein product).

During gene transcription, a particular fragment of DNA called gene is used as a template to generate an mRNA.

Subsequently, the mRNA serves as a template to generate a linear chain of amino acids, i.e., a protein, by a process called translation.

The final protein can be considered as the phenotype (in this case, the albinism trait) because it is the observable feature.

Which of the following events triggers the subsequent steps of excitation-contraction coupling?

mario62 [17]

Excitation-contraction coupling refers to the series of events that begins with the excitation of the sarcolemma in response to stimulation by a neurotransmitter, and results in the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Hence, option D is the 1st process that starts the excitation-contraction coupling.

A farmer crossed a yellow maize plant (Yy) with another yellow maize plant (YY). He planted 200 seeds from this cross. How many

Vladimir [108]

Answer: 200 seeds will be yellow.

Explanation: In this crossing, one parent will produce half of its gametes carrying allele Y and the other half carrying allele y. The other parent will have gametes with allele Y. After fecundation, the offspring could phenotype YY or phenotype Yy.

In genetics, Y is related to the dominant allele and y to the recessive one. In this case, having the Y dominant allele determine the color yellow. Therefore, as all of the offspring has the dominant allele Y for yellow, all of the seeds will be yellow, i.e., 200 seeds will be yellow.

What part of a tree conducts electricity when hit by lightning?

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

In most trees, the area just under the bark layer contains moisture in the form of sap and water. And since water is a better electrical conductor than wood, lightning striking a tree tends to travel just underneath the bark.

The net primary production of a pine forest on a lava flow on Mount Fuji is about 165,000 kcal/m2/yr, and the plant respiration

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The total amount of energy transferred during photosynthesis for this ecosystem equals 260,000 kcal/m2/yr.

Explanation:

To answer this question, we need to know that

gross primary productivity (GPP) = energy captured and converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis

net primary productivity (NPP) = difference between GPP and respiration rate

So, to calculate GPP we need to sum NPP to Respiration rate. This if,

NPP = 165,000 kcal/m2/yr

R = 95,000 kcal/m2/yr

NPP = GPP – Respiration

Then,

GPP = NPP + R

GPP = 165,000 kcal/m2/yr + 95,000 kcal/m2/yr

GPP = 260,000 kcal/m2/yr
