Answer:

- A signal for apoptosis that comes from outside the cell is when a cell detaches from extracellular matrix. If this happens, a transmembrane signal is triggered.

- Two examples of cellular occurrences that would prompt an apoptosis signal from inside the cell are:

1. Damaged DNA

2. Increase of cytosolic calcium concentration

Explanation:

Apoptosis can be activated from an intrinsic or an extrinsic pathway. The intrinsic pathway is activated when a cell senses stress (for example, damaged DNA or high cytosolic calcium concentration) and triggers death proteins to activate apoptosis mechanism inside of it; the extrinsic pathway refers to the apoptosis triggered by signals that come from other cells. In this scenario, ligands bind to cell-surface death receptors and activates a death-inducing signal.

Cinnabar colored eyes (cn) and reduced bristles (rd) are autosomal recessive genes and lobe shaped eyes (L) is an autosomal domi
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The correct genotypic notation for a wild type with phenotypic characteristics: red eyes, long bristle and round eyes will be any of CNRDll, CnRdl, CnRDl or CNRdl if c, n, r and d are capable of independent assortment and CNRDl if they cannot.

Explanation:

The eye color and bristle size is coordinated by either recessive cn and dominant CN or Cn genes. The wild type in questions has red color eyes, which is a dominant trait coordinated by CN or Cn if c and n can undergo assortment independently or just CN if they cannot. The second characteristics of the wild type is long bristle. We were told that reduced bristle is coordinated by recessive rd Gene. Then the long bristle in our specimen wild type will have dominant genotypic notification of RD or Rd, depending if r and d can undergo assortment independently. The last trait is a round eyes, which is a recessive trait controlled by recessive allele l. Therefore, the combined characteristics of red eye color, long bristle and round eyes shape of the wild type will be CNRDl or any of CNRDll, CnRdl, CnRDl CNRdl depending on the segregation pattern of c, n, r and d.

The barley plant has seven pairs of chromosomes. For a gamete, the number of genetic combinations that are possible through inde
umka2103 [35]

1) The correct answer is: 128 combinations.

The genetic combinations that are possible through independent assortment can be calculated as 2^n; where n is the number of different chromosomes.  

So, using this formula for 7 chromosomes:

   2^7 = 128 different combinations.

2) For a zygote produced by two barley parents, the number of possible genetic combinations can be calculated as: 2^n * 2^n

So, for 7 chromosomes: 2^7 * 2^7=16384

In mammoths, assume that spotted skin (S) is dominant over non-spotted skin (s) and that wooly hair (W) is dominant over non-woo
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Genotypic and Phenotypic ratios → 1:1:1:1

  • 25% of the progeny is expected to be SsWw, exhibiting spotted skin and wooly hair, SsWw
  • 25% of the progeny is expected to be Ssww, exhibiting spotted skin and non-wooly hair, Ssww
  • 25% of the progeny is expected to be ssWw, exhibiting non- spotted skin and wooly hair, ssWw
  • 25% of the progeny is expected to be ssww, exhibiting non-spotted skin and non-wooly hair, ssww

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • spotted skin (S) is dominant over non-spotted skin (s)
  • wooly hair (W) is dominant over non-wooly hair (w)
  • Cross: heterozygous spotted, non-wooly mammoth with a heterozygous wooly-haired, non-spotted mammoth.

Parentals) Ssww   x   ssWw

Gametes) Sw, Sw, sw, sw

                 sW, sW, sw, sw

Punnett square)     Sw            Sw           sw           sw

                  sW      SsWw      SsWw      ssWw     ssWw

                  sW      SsWw      SsWw      ssWw     ssWw

                  sw      Ssww       Ssww       ssww      ssww

                  sw      Ssww       Ssww       ssww      ssww

F1) 4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be SsWw, exhibiting spotted skin and wooly hair

    4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be Ssww, exhibiting spotted skin and non-wooly hair

    4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be ssWw, exhibiting non- spotted skin and wooly hair

    4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be ssww, exhibiting non-spotted skin and non-wooly hair.

Genotypic and Phenotypic ratios → 1:1:1:1

What purpose is served by the loss of an -H and -OH end from two molecules as they join together during dehydration synthesis
makkiz [27]

The loss of the hydrogen on one molecule produces a negative charge, which is attracted to the positive charge formed by the loss of the hydroxy group from the other molecule.

Arlecino [84]

Answer: Annelida

Leeches are soft bodied segmented parasitic worms. They belong to the phylum Annelida. They are hermaphrodites which means they exhibit sex organs of both male and female.

The characteristics which are found in leeches which group them into Annelida are:

1. The body of the leeches are bilaterally symmetrical like other Annelids. The body organs are also segmented.

2. They have a closed circulatory system in which the heart pumps the blood to all the parts of the body.

3. Leeches either exhibit a protusible pharynx or proboscis which allows them to suck the blood of the host such features are also common in other Annelids.
