Answer: The alleles of a plant that is heterozygous for seed color can be represented as Y for dominant allele for yellow seed and y for recessive allele for green seed.
Explanation: A plant that is heterozygous for seed colour has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for seed colour. If Y represents the dominant allele for yellow seed colour and y represents the recessive allele for green seed colour, therefore the plant has a genotype of Yy. A dominant allele is one that has the ability to mask the effect of a recessive allele while a recessive allele is one whose effect is masked by a dominant allele. Dominant alleles are denoted with upper cases while recessive alleles are denoted with lower cases. A plant that is heterozygous for seed colour with genotype Yy will manifest outwardly as Yellow seed colour due to the presence of the dominant allele Y.
Answer: If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink. In an isotonic environment, there is no net water movement, so there is no change in the size of the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.
Explanation:
Out of the following given choices;
<span>A.
</span>The mouse has a completely different DNA sequence
than the other mice.
<span>B.
</span> The
substituted nucleotide has the same directions as the original nucleotide.
<span>C.
</span>Substitutions in the nucleotides of a mouse's
DNA never affect their phenotypes.
<span>D.
</span>DNA sequences don't determine the color of a
mouse's fur.
The answer is B. Most probably, the nucleotide substitution did not translate to a change in the
amino acid sequence in the translated protein. As you may be aware, most amino
acids are coded by more than one codon. For example, Leucine is coded for by CTT, CTC, CTA, CTG, TTA, TTG.
Therefore, a substitution, that causes a change to either one of the sequences will not
change the amino acid.
