Why did Mendel use pea plants in his experiments?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

For Gregor Mendel, pea plants were fundamental in allowing him to understand the means by which traits are inherited between parent and offspring. He chose pea plants because they were easy to grow, could be bred rapidly, and had several observable characteristics, like petal color and pea color.

Methylene blue can be used to stain DNA because it: (2 pts) forms ionic bonds with DNA changes the pH and therefore the structure of DNA makes DNA electron dense is an effective chemical fixative for cells is none of the above

Answers

Answer: Methylene blue can be used to stain DNA of a cell because it (forms ionic bonds with DNA).

Explanation:

To examine the components of a cell usually under a microscope, a stain or dye is being used to provide a clear and defined view of the area under study.

The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of a cell which contains the hereditary information of the cell is located in the nucleus.

Methylene blue is a type of stain used by biologists which helps them view microscopic life in brilliant color. It is a cationic stain (positively charged blue dye); and binds to negatively charged parts of the cells, such as nucleus (DNA) and RNA in the cytoplasm (with lower affinity).

When DNA of a cell comes in contact with methylene blue on a slide, their opposite charges attract, causing methylene blue's "rings" to slide in between the "rungs" of the DNA "ladder." As a result, a rich blue stain that identifies the location of the cell nucleus can be observed. This produces a photosensitive reaction which can then be viewed under the microscope.

Therefore is can be used to stain the DNA of cell because it forms ionic bonds with DNA.

Toluene crosses pure lipid bilayers many hundreds of times faster than a related compound, phenylalanine. Suggest two different properties of these molecules that would account for this difference.

Answers

Answer:

The lipid bilayer is hydrophobic that is hydrophobic and it can easily cross the lipid bilayer.

Toulene is a hydrophobic and neutral molecule compound so it can easily pass through the bilayer. It is an aromatic compound with a methane group attached to the benzene ring. It is smaller in comparison to Phenylalanine.

Phenylalanine-- It is an amino acid with a benzene ring attached to it. This amino acid is less hydrophobic than the aliphatic amino acids. Because of its less hydrophobic nature, it travels slowly compared to Toluene. It is also larger and has amino and carboxyl groups attached to it. On the other hand, Phenylalanine is a polar compound which has -COOH and -NH2 group. which prevents its delay in its transport across the lipid bilayer.

The most common Class II variant is the F508del variant, which is missing the 508th amino acid in the protein but has an otherwise normal sequence. Loss of this amino acid leads to misfolding of the protein, and the misfolded protein is not properly transported to the membrane. Based on this information, how many nucleotides are deleted in the CFTR allele encoding this variant?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 3 (two codons of 507th that are U, C, and the first nucleotide of 508th codon U).

Explanation:

Each amino acid is coded by a three-nucleotide base long codon. So in the case of the F508del variant, there is a deletion of three nucleotides that is encoded for phenylalanine amino acid.

In this isoleucine is encoded by 507th codon that is AUG and 508th codon is UUU codes for Isoleucine.

In this case, two codons of 507th are U, C, and the first nucleotide of 508th codon U. So overall three nucleotides are deleted in the F508del variant..

Answers

Answer:

The prime agonist of inspiration is the diaphragm muscle.

The conditions when expiration becomes an active process is : Emphysema, Pneumonia, Bronchitis.

-Expiration is the passive process as there is elastic recoil of lungs following inspiration without contraction of any muscles.

-The elastic fibers in alveoli are damages or filled with mucus and fluid in the disease such as conditions such as emphysema or pneumonia.

-Elastic recoil of lungs.

-Hence, muscle contraction is required to forcefully exhale the air from lungs. Internal intercostal muscles contract to pull the ribs downward and remove air from the lungs.

6. The probability that the two offspring you produced share every genotype in common is extremely low. Explain why they are likely to be different.

Answers

Answer:

Sexual reproduction is able to generate genetic variation in offspring by 1-independent assortment and 2-recombination during meiosis, and 3-random fertilization.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that increases the amount of genetic variation in offspring by three main mechanisms: independent assortment of homologous chromosome pairs and recombination during meiosis, and random union of gametes during fertilization. First, sexual reproduction is associated with the independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis, i.e., the orientation of homologous chromosome pairs is a random process that is different for every cell that undergoes meiosis. In consequence, chromosomes assort randomly into gametes, thereby the segregation of alleles of a gene pair is independent of the segregation of another set of alleles of a different gene (as stated in the law of independent assortment). Second, sexual reproduction generates genetic variation by recombination, which is the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids during meiosis I (prophase I). This genetic process (recombination) is able to generate new alleles in offspring. Third, sexual reproduction also involves the random union of two haploids (n) gametes during fertilization, which results in the formation of a diploid (2n) zygote that develops into a new individual. In humans, the sperm cell has 8 million possible (2²³) chromosome combinations, which fertilizes an ovum cell that also has approximately 8 million chromosome combinations, thereby producing a tremendous genetic variation in offspring (around 64 trillion possible zygote combinations).

8. Two rabbits are bred together. One is heterozygous for agouti coat
(genotype: Cch) and the other is albino. What are the possible phenotypes
of their offspring? Construct a Punnett square to support your answer.

Answers

Answer:

- Parental cross = Cch  x chch  

- F1 = 1/2 Cch (agouti coat); 1/2 chch (albino coat) >> 1:1 phenotypic ratio

Punnett  square:  

          ch         ch

C       Cch       Cch

ch    chch      chch

 

Explanation:

A heterozygous individual is an individual who has two different gene variants (i.e., alleles) at a particular locus. In this case, individuals having the "agouti coat" trait are heterozygous carrying both 'C' and 'ch' alleles. On the other hand, a homo-zygous individual has the same allele at a given locus (here, the 'chch' genotype associated with the albino phenotype). Therefore, as observed in the Punnett Square above, when a heterozygous parent is crossed with a homo-zygous recessive parent for a single gene, alleles segregate in the gametes of both parents so an expected 1:1 phenotypic ratio will be observed.

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, the fungicides harm bee development by causing changes in  behavior, immune health, and reproduction etc. For verifying this hypothesis, we have to take two environments, in one environment fungicides are applied to the plants while on the other environment, there is no fungicide applied to the plants. Th result shows that the bees are affected and act abnormal where fungicides are applied as compared to those bees which are normal in behaviour and other features.

a. Contains an F' his+ trp
b. Has become F-
c. Contains an Hfr translocation
d. No longer mates as a merry diploid
e. Not enough information is given

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - b. has become F-.

Explanation:

In the case of the cross of two different strains, some genetic material moves to the F- strain from the Hfr strain, but due to genome size, it's not possible that all the genes can pass into a single bacterium.

Instead of complete transfer, each individual F- cell gets a different and random subset of genes from the Hfr. There is no translocation and F' does not contain  his+ trp+.

A reproductive cell must differ from other normal body cells. The reproductive cell must ______________ because it will soon fuse with another reproductive cell to form a new individual

I'm not 100% sure what the exact answer is to this, because lots of things could be said about what gametes need to do for reproduction.

I suppose since it says that it's combining with another cell, it's hinting at the fact that reproductive cells are haploid.

If this is multiple choice I would choose the choice that has to do with gametes being haploid.

A reproductive cell must differ from other normal body. The reproductive cell must Haploid because it will soon fuse with another reproductive cell to form a new individual.

C. y + 5 = 3(x+3)
O D. Y-3 - (x+5)

Answers

Answer:

A. y + 5 = -3(x - 3)

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Points on the graph (x1, y1) = (3, -5)

Points on the graph (x2, y2) = (0, 4)

First of all, we would determine the slope of the equation of line;

Mathematically, the slope of a line is given by the formula;

[tex] Slope, \ m = \frac {Change \; in \; y-axis}{Change \; in \; x-axis} [/tex]

[tex] Slope, \ m = \frac {y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} [/tex]

Substituting into the formula, we have;

[tex] Slope, \ m = \frac {4 - (-5)}{0 - 3} [/tex]

[tex] Slope, \ m = \frac {4 + 5}{0 - 3} [/tex]

[tex] Slope, \ m = \frac {9}{-3} [/tex]

Slope, m = -3

Next, to find the point-slope equation of the line, we would use the following formula;

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-5) = -3(x - 3)

y + 5 = -3x + 9

y = -3x + 9 - 5

y = -3x + 4 = mx + c
