Why do the cells used for reproduction only have half (½) of the DNA that other cells have?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Because each chromosome has a pair, these cells are called "diploid" cells. On the other hand, human sperm and egg cells have only 23 chromosomes, or half the chromosomes of a diploid cell.

Which best explains the role of plants in the nitrogen cycle?

Answers

Answer:

Assimilation

Explanation:

This is how plants get nitrogen. They absorb nitrates from the soil into their roots. Then the nitrogen gets used in amino acids, nucleic acids, and chlorophyll. ... When a plant or animal dies, decomposers like fungi and bacteria turn the nitrogen back into ammonium so it can reenter the nitrogen cycle.

Plants absorb nitrogen compounds out of soil and animals can get it.

It is advantageous for a predator to prey exclusively on a single prey species.

Answers

Answer:

Assuming this is a true/false question, the answer would be false.

If a predator only preyed on one species, it would be at a disadvantage if the prey it feeds on gets wiped out in that region.

Therefore, your answer is False.

A scientist is treating rice plants with a chemical that causes mutations. What is the possible benefit of this treatment? A. clones B. transgenic plants C. increased genetic variation D. increased hybridization

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Its either B or C, look closely at the question and at the answers, you can narrow it down from then.

A scientist is treating rice plants with a chemical that causes mutations. The possible benefit of this treatment is transgenic plants. Hence, the correct option is B.

What is mutation?

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene. It can result from  errors in DNA replication or exposure to mutagenic agents such as chemicals or radiation, or from spontaneous changes.

Transgenic plants are the plants that have been genetically modified to express specific traits or traits that are not found in the original species. This is done by introducing foreign DNA or chemicals that change the plant's genome. This process is called genetic engineering.

Transgenic plants have become an important tool in agriculture and biotechnology, providing new opportunities for food production, environmental protection and economic growth. Hence, the correct option is B.

The incidence of cystic fibrosis, a recessive genetic disorder in the Caucasian population of United States, is 1 in every 2,500 individuals. Find the number of heterozygous carriers. (p + q = 1, p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1)

Answers

Answer:

The no. of heterozygous carriers = 0.0392

Explanation:

From the given information:

The incidence of this recessive disorder i.e. q² = 1/2500

q² = 0.0004

q = 0.02

From Hardy Weinberg's Equilibrium.

p + q = 1; &

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

p + 0.02 = 1

p = 1 - 0.02

p = 0.98

So, the numbers of heterozygous carrier 2pq is:

= 2 × 0.98 × 0.02

= 0.0392

If water was removed from a plant's environment what would happen to the plant's glucose production?​

Answers

Answer:

It would cease

Explanation:

If water is removed from a plant's environment, the plant's glucose product will cease. This implies that the plant will stop producing glucose.

Water is an essential ingredient for the production of glucose by plants. During the process of photosynthesis, green plants manufactures their food in the presence of sunlight. The water combines with carbon dioxide to produce glucose oxygen gas using sunlight energy. Without water, this reaction will not be possible to take place. Therefore, the production of glucose stops when there is no water.

How could one determine if two
unidentified organisms share a common
ancestor?

Answers

Answer:

Evolutionists determine that two organisms have a common ancestor is by looking at fossil evidence in different rock layers using the law of Superposition (Oldest layers are on the bottom, newest are on the top) and compare the skulls or other bones to each other in order of oldest to newest (or newest to oldest). Another way to determine this is to examine the amount of DNA a certain species shares with another species. An example of this would be that Humans share roughly 90% of our DNA with chimpanzees or the other Great Apes.

Explanation:

DNA

They can look at the DNA it's the most common one.

There are 4 pieces of evolution and they are

Fossils , Geography , Embryos / DNA , Anatomy

Fossils: Physical remains of species , Determine age, location,  environment

Deeper layers = older

Geography: Proves species share common  ancestors, depending on where

they live

DNA: BEST evidence because it’s the  MOST ACCURATE

Similarities in the early stages of  development

Similarities in DNA

More similarities = closely related

More differences = not related

Anatomy: Compare body parts of different  species to see how they evolved

3 different structures:

Homologous (same structure,  different function)

Analogous (similar structure,  different organisms)

Vestigial (body parts that no  longer serve a purpose)

All of that are in evolution
