Select the choices that best complete the following sentence: An inherited feature of an organism is a ______ whereas a variant of that feature is called a ______.
A.
homozygote; heterozygote
B.
chromosome; factor
C.
hybrid; gamete
D.
character; trait
E.
allele; gene

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Homozygous means that both copies of a gene or locus match while heterozygous means that the copies do not match. Two dominant alleles (AA) or two recessive alleles (aa) are homozygous. One dominant allele and one recessive allele (Aa) is heterozygous.

In rabbits, brown coat (B) is dominant to white coat (b). A rabbit breeder wants to know the genotype of his best looking male brown rabbit using a test cross. He has brown females and white females available to conduct his breeding experiments.

Required:
a. What should be the coat color of the female he must use in this test cross?
b. If the test cross produces seven (7) brown rabbits and one (1) white rabbit, what is the genotype of the brown male rabbit?

Answers

Answer:

a. white

b. Bb

Explanation:

A test cross usually involve crossing an individual whose zygosity is unknown with a homozygous recessive version of individual of the same species.

Brown coat (B) is dominant over white coat (b). Hence, there is no way to physically distinguish between a BB rabbit and a Bb  rabbit because both of them will be brown. A bb rabbit however will be white in appearance.

A test cross would therefore involve crossing the brown male rabbit with bb (white) rabbit.

Assuming that the genotype of the brown rabbit is BB, all the progeny will be brown as shown by the cross below.

         BB   x   bb

    Bb   Bb   Bb   Bb

In order word, assuming the genotype is Bb, some of the offspring will appear brown while some will appear white.

      Bb  x   bb

Bb   Bb   bb   bb

Hence, the only way the test cross would produce white offspring is if the genotype of the brown rabbit is heterozygous, Bb.

Answers

Answer:

4 m/s2 in negative acceleration

Explanation:

From the question.

Acceleration= change in velocity ÷ time.

V1-V0÷time.

That is final velocity minus initial velocity divided by time.

25-65÷10.

-40/10=4m/s.

The acceleration is -4m/s.

The answer is 4m/s negative acceleration.

A young man who works on a ranch and lives in the log bunkhouse experiences sudden fever with muscle aches. A few days later he begins to cough and have difficulty breathing, and goes to an urgent care clinic. His blood pressure is low. A blood sample reveals a low platelet count. A Gram stain of a sputum sample shows only a few small bacteria present. Which of the following is the most likely infecting agent?
A) Bacillus anthracis
B) Hantavirus
C) Histoplasma capsulatum
D) influenza
E) Mycoplasma pneumonia

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: B) Hantavirus.

Explanation:

Hantavirus is an infectious disease caused by a family of viruses that exist in rodents such as rats. These viruses can either cause Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), especially in the Americas; or Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS), which is most common in Europe and Asia.

The young man described has symptoms that match the common symptoms of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, such as fever and muscle aches (known as the 'early symptoms'), as also coughing and having difficulty breathing (known as the 'late symptoms'). Some of these symptoms can easily be confused with Influenza, but the shortness of breath and the fact that the patient has a history of working and living in a rural environment suggest Hantavirus.

HPS also produces a low platelet count and high white cell count.

Infection by Bacillus anthracis is uncommon, plus the lack of symptoms that match the disease (such as a sore throat) and the existence of muscle aches in the patient (which does not match Anthrax) can help discard this option.

Histoplasma capsulatum is a fungus that can cause lung infection when its spores are inhaled. Its symptoms are similar to HPS but with the addition of red bumps in the legs and joint pain, not muscle aches.

Mycoplasma pneumonia is a bacteria that produces pneumonia. Most of its symptoms match the patient except for the lack of a sore throat.

Which characteristic proves Lactobacillus acidophilus is from the specific kingdom Eubacteria?

Answers

Answer: It has peptidoglycan

Explanation:

The kingdom Eubacteria is the domain of prokaryotic bacteria. These are unicellular and prokaryotic organisms. Their cell membrane is made up of lipids. The cell wall is made up of peptiodoglycan which gives rigidity to the cell wall. It gives the structural strength to the bacterial cell wall, gives the strength to the bacteria, and it will counteract the osmotic pressure develop in the cytoplasm.

Lactobacillus acidophilus possess the peptidoglycan in the cell wall this establishes its relationship with kingdom Eubacteria.

Which species is likely to exhibit random dispersion?
A.
rushes that grow on the edges of bodies of water
B.
orchid plants that grow on the branches of a particular tree species
C.
squirrels that actively defend their territory against other squirrels
D.
frogs that live along the edges of ponds and streams
E.
sweetgum, a tree species with wind-dispersed seeds

Answers

Answer:

E

Explanation:

E because....

The other options mention species that occupy niche environments and would therefore definitely not be randomly dispersed. Rushes and frogs would be found along the edges of water bodies, squirrels would be found within appropriate environments, which would be acorn tree forests and orchid plants also occupy a particular tree.

The correct option is E.

What is random dispersion?

In random dispersion, individuals are distributed randomly, without a predictable pattern. An example of random dispersion comes from dandelions and other plants that have wind-dispersed seeds.

Is random dispersion rare?

In natural populations, random dispersion is rare, while clumped dispersion, which we'll focus on in this lesson, is the most common pattern. Clumped dispersion is often due to an uneven distribution of nutrients or other resources in the environment. It can also be caused by social interactions between individuals.

In perspective, with Earth being 4,500,000,000 years old and humans being around 1,400,000 years; how long out of a 24 day time period have we as humans been here.

Answers

Answer:

Day time period have we as humans been here: 26 seconds

Explanation:

4,500,000,000 years = 1 day

1,400,000 years = X

X = 0.0003111  

1 day = 86,400 seconds

0.0003111 = X

X = 26 seconds

In term of the Earth in 24-hour clock, Homo sapiens appeared on our planet only in the last 26 seconds, it means that in geologic time, humans have existed for only a brief time period and thereby it is a relatively new species.

The inheritance of the petite phenotype in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is complicated by an interaction of mitochondrial and nuclear genes. Which of the following is a false statement about petites in S. cerevisiae?
A) Segregational petites are characterized by mutations in the nuclear genome.
B) Suppressive petites are characterized by mitochondria lacking most of its DNA.
C) Neutral petites, when crossed to wild type, yield wild-type mitochondrial function.
D) The three categories of petites are segregational, neutral, and suppressive.
E) Both nuclear and cytoplasmic (mitochondrial) genes contribute to the petite phenotype in some cases.

Answers

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The three categories of petites are segregational, neutral, and suppressive and both nuclear and cytoplasmic (mitochondrial) genes contribute to the petite phenotype in some cases. Suppressive petites are characterized by perfoming crosses between petite and wild-type and discovering that all offspring are petite, this exhibit a "dominant" behavior which suppresses wild-type mitochondrial function and not a lack of mitochondrial function.

Answers

Answer:

If the mutation takes place, then the shorter side chains of asp compare to Glu  will affect the permeability of the transport protein to calcium ions. Specifically,  the mutation will  increase the sizes of the pore,which in turn decreases the selectivity  for calcium ion. Hence this affect excitability of the cell.
