An organism is _______ for a gene if it has two copies of the same allele for the gene.
The genotype of an organism and the interaction of the genotype with the environment determine the organism’s _______, or observable characteristics.
The law of independent assortment states that the separation of alleles for one gene are independent of that of other genes, unless the genes are _______.
Mendel’s law of _______ governs which allele is expressed in an individual.
Respond to the following based on your reading.

In the previous section, you learned that the allele for brown eyes (B) is dominant, and blue (b) and green eyes (g) are recessive, while green eyes are dominant over blue eyes. What eye color would someone with the following genotypes exhibit? (a) BB, (b) Bb, (c) gb, (d) Bg, (e) bb.
Discuss the law of segregation and explain why each organism has two copies of the gene for each trait expressed.
What type of experiments did Mendel conduct, and what did he want to find out about the heritability of the seven traits he chose to study?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Purebred (N.B: the exact word is considered a foul word)

2. Phenotype

3. Linked

4. Segregation

5) (a) BB- Brown eyes

(b) Bb- brown eyes

(c) gb- green eyes

(d) Bg- brown eyes

(e) bb- blue eyes

The other questions are explained below

Explanation:

1. A purebred organism is that which possess two copies of the same alleles in its genotype. An allele is a contrasting form of a gene. If the two alleles are the same, the organism is said to be purebred.

2. Phenotype of an organism is the observable characteristics of the organism. It is determined by the organism's genotype in interaction with its environment.

3. Mendel's law of independent assortment states that the alleles of a gene will separate into gametes independently of another gene unless the genes are linked. Linked genes are genes that are too close to each other on a chromosome and hence, do not sort independently. They're rather inherited together.

4. Mendel’s law of Segregation governs which allele is expressed in an individual. According to this law, an organism will express the allele it randomly receives from each parent. If an organism receives two different alleles, it will express the allele that is dominant. In other words, an organism will only express the recessive trait if it receives two recessive alleles from both parents.

5. a) BB- Brown eyes because the organism is purebred for the dominant (brown) allele

(b) Bb- brown eyes because the brown allele (B) will mask the expression of blue allele (b) and express itself.

(c) gb- green eyes because the allele for green eyes (g) is dominant over the allele for blue eyes.

(d) Bg- brown eyes because the brown allele (B) is dominant over the allele for green eyes (g), hence, it will mask its expression

(e) bb- blue eyes because the organism is purebred for the blue allele i.e. same recessive (blue) alleles in the gene.

6. The law of segregation as proposed by Mendel states that the alleles of a gene will separate into gametes during gamete formation (meiosis). This is done in such a way that each gamete contains only one allele of each gene. Hence, an organisms will contain two copies of a gene because they receive each copy (allele) from each parent during fusion of their gametes.

7. Mendel conducted an hybridization experiment i.e. a cross involving two individuals that possess different traits. He did this in order to find out how different traits/characteristics in organisms were transferred from one generation to another. Mendel chose the pea plant for his experiment because they could easily be manipulated for self and cross pollination. Mendel studied seven (7) different traits or characteristics in pea plants including height, seed shape, seed color, flower color etc.

Algae in the genus Caulerpa typically grow to a length of over half a meter and have structures similar to stems,leaves,and roots.Reproduction occurs when adults produce sperm and eggs that fuse to form offspring.Each adult Caulerpa consists of just a single cell,however.Which of the following statements is true?
A) Caulerpa violate the pattern component of the cell theory that all organisms consist of cells.
B) Caulerpa violate the process component of the cell theory that all cells come from preexisting cells.
C) Caulerpa violate both the pattern and process components of the cell theory.
D) The existence of Caulerpa is consistent with the cell theory.

Answers

Answer:

D) The existence of Caulerpa is consistent with the cell theory.

Explanation:

This question describes species of algae in the genus, Caulerpa, which is a unicellular organism that possesses structures similar to leaves, stems and roots in plants. It also grows to a length of about 0.5metres. it reproduces sexually by fertilization of gametes (sperm and egg).

According to all these described characteristics of Caulerpa, it's existence is in conformity or accordance with the unified cell theory, which was proposed by three scientists namely: Matthias Scleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolf Virchow in the 1830's. The three components of the cell theory states that:

1. Cell is the fundamental and basic unit of life existence.

2. All living organisms are composed of one (unicellular) or more cells (multicellular).

3. All cells come from already preexisting cells.

Hence, based on the components of the cell theory and the life pattern of Caulerpa i.e. Caulerpa is made up of one cell, it is made from the fusion of preexisting parental cells etc. It is consistent with the cell theory.

A surfactant is a chemical that disrupts hydrophilic/hydrophobic interactions, letting normally hydrophobic things dissolve in water (this is how soap cleans grease!). If I have a bunch of enzymes dissolved in water and I add a surfactant, what will happen to the enzyme structure

Answers

Explanation:

A good surfactant is going to have a hydrophilic head and a long hydrophobic tail. As a result, a surfactant molecule contains both an insoluble water (or an oil-soluble component) and a water-soluble component. Surfactant molecules will migrate to the surface of the water, where the insoluble hydrophobic group may extend out of the bulk phase of the water, either into the air or, if the water is mixed with oil, into the oil Phase, while the water-soluble head group remains in the water phase. This alignment and aggregation of surfactant molecules at the surface is intended to alter the surface properties of water at the water / air or water / oil interface.

Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that causes toxoplasmosis, a generally mild but potentially fatal disease, especially in cats and human fetuses. Cats and other felines are considered their ultimate hosts because the sexed phase of their life cycle takes place there, making these animals the primary hosts of the parasite. The asexual phase of the life cycle can occur in any warm-blooded animal, such as other mammals and birds. Therefore, toxoplasmosis is a parasitic zoonosis.

Parasites invade the cells, forming a compartment called the parasitophore vacuole which form cysts in tissues, especially in the muscles and brain. Because the parasite is inside the cells, the host immune system does not detect these cysts. Antibiotic resistance varies, but cysts are difficult to eradicate entirely. Therefore, T. gondii spreads within these vacuoles through a series of binary divisions until the infested cell eventually breaks free.

Some people have flu-like signs and symptoms, which may be:

Swollen lymph nodesHeadacheFeverFatigueWidespread pain

In people with impaired immune systems, symptoms may also include:

ConfusionLack of coordinationConvulsionsBlurred vision caused by intense swelling of the retina

In recent years, several investigations indicate that the parasite can cause changes in the behavior associated with impulsivity, and personality disorders. So, we could predict it zombifies the host by changes in the behavior, because of the damage caused by a parasite in the brain. It is important to consider that the brain governs the body, and cysts found there can trigger these changes.

The temperate leaves grow in the spring and shed in the cold, while the taiga leaves are dark and wax-coated to prevent the tree from freezing.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The temperate leaves grow in temperate forests found in America, Europe, and Asia. This biome comprise of trees have evergreen conifers with needle like leaves. Such leaves can endure wide change of temperature and light. Some vegetation of temperate biome are conifers such as Pine, Hemlock and other. The trees shed their leaves with the beginning of fall and new leaves are delivered in late-winter  to protect from the cold.

On other hand, Taiga forest is the biggest biome on the planet. This biome contain conifers with long, slender waxy needles like leaves. These waxy leaves provide security against freezing temperature and from dying drying out. In contrast to temperate they don't sheds their leaves in winter and keep their needles throughout the entire year.

Answer:

The correct answer is - prevents lactose-utilizing enzymes from being expressed when lactose is absent from the environment.

Explanation:

The lac operon or the lactose operon is a operon that is essential for the many bacteria like Escherichia coli for metabolism and transport of the lactose.

In the presence of the lactose in the environment of the cell the lac genes are expressed due to the isomer of of lactose called allolactose binds to the Lac repressor protein and do not allow to bind it to lac operator. But in the absence of the lactose, the lactose utilizing enzymes are not expressed  due to repressor bind to the lac operator and prevents the binding of RNA polymerase to the promoter.
