A scan of Sam's genome for the 100 most common mutations known to cause RP didn't find anything. How can you explain this result

Answer:

He is either not carrying the gene for RP or the RP gene has mutated.

Explanation:

RP or Retina Pigmentosa is an eye defect inherited by a person from a parent. The disease is degenerative as the individual gradually loses his sight. It normally starts off as night-blindness and could go as bad as a total loss of sight.

The mutation of both the RPGR and RP2 genes which are responsible for the function and structure of light-reception in the eye accounts for most cases of Retina Pigmentosa disease.

arsen [322]

Answer:

E. 1/600

Explanation:

Hint:

The probability of fixation of a new neutral mutation is 1/(2N)

Given N as 300

= 1/(2×300)

=1/600

Therefore,

1/600 gives a sure fixation of one allele from the large population

Match each field of study to the correct piece of evidence. Tiles molecular biology comparative anatomy developmental biology Pa
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Molecular Biology
This field of study deals with everything related to macromolecules, thus, what you will need for molecular biology would be something you could get proteins and nucleic acids from. Among the choices, the DNA of a pig and a calf would be the most helpful.

Comparative Anatomy
Comparative anatomy is a field of study that focuses on any similarities or differences between the anatomy or structure of different animals or species in general. Among the options, having the limb structure of a pig and a calf would allow you to practice the field since you have a structure to compare.

Developmental Biology
In this field, your concern would be how species grow and develop. For you to properly observe the growth and development, you must have the embryo of a pig and a calf. Therefore, among the options, this is the correct piece of evidence for this field.

IN SUMMARY:
Molecular Biology - Both DNA of a pig and a calf
Comparative Anatomy - Both limb structure of a pig and a calf
Developmental Biology - Embryo of a pig and a calf

Two true-breeding stocks of pea plants are crossed. One parent has red, axial flowers, and the other has white, terminal flowers
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>The probability of producing plants with white axial flowers would be 1/16.</em>

From the illustration, All F1 individuals had red, axial flowers. It thus means that red and axial genes are dominant over white and terminal genes in the pea plant.

Let us assume that the allele for flower color is A (red) and a (white); and the allele for flower location is B (axial) and b (terminal).

Pure-breeding red, axial flower = AABB

Pure breeding white, terminal flower = aabb

AABB   x    aabb

F1 genotype = AaBb - all red and axial

At F2:

AaBb   x   AaBb

Progeny

<em>9 A_B_ red/axial</em>

<em>3 A_bb red/terminal</em>

<em>3 aaB_ white/axial</em>

<em>1 aabb - white/terminal</em>

Hence, the probability of producing plants with white axial flowers in the F2 generation is 1/16.

Robert Koch is best known for which of the following contributions?
algol13

Robert Koch is best known for establishing a link between bacteria and disease.

Robert Koch was a German doctor that made an important contribution to the field of microbiology and public health. During his experiments he identified the particular microorganisms that cause diseases such as tuberculosis, cholera, and anthrax. Koch’s research resulted to the development of Koch's postulates, which are four general principles that links specific microorganisms (such as bacteria) to specific diseases and is being used today in medical microbiology as a standard.

Plants that evolved vascular tissue are more advanced than plants without vascular tissue. Most importantly, possession of vascu
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

The evolution of vascular tissues in plants from non-vascular plants was an adaptive feature to survive in the terrestrial environment.  The group of plants in which vascular tissues evolved and developed is the Pteridophytes which contained stellar organization of the vascular bundles.

The pteridophytes exhibited xylem and phloem which allows the rapid uptake of the water and nutrients from the soil which allowed the growth of the plant and since plants got enough water and nutrients from the soil, they adapted to grow tall so that they can maximize the output of photosynthesis in bright sunshine.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
