"Consider the following cross: Gl/gL x gl/gl Which combination(s) of alleles does the parent with the Gl/gL genotype contribute
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Gl, gL, GL and gl

Explanation:

The heterozygous parent has the genotype Gl/gL. Since this is a diploid individual, it has two copies of each autosomal chromosome. The slash "/" represents a separation between the two homologous chromosomes, <em>Gl</em> are the alleles of genes "G" and "L" present in one chromosome, and <em>gL</em> are the alleles of those genes present in the other chromosome.

During meiosis the total chromosome number of the original diploid cell is reduced by half, creating four haploid gametes. In a specific stage of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair and crossing over occurs, when recombination happens and one of the alleles present in one chromosome "switches" to the other chromosome, increasing genetic variation.

<u>Therefore, the Gl/gL individual can produce four different types of gametes:</u>

Gl and gL (Parental --> no crossing over occurred)

GL and gl (Recombinant --> crossing over occurred)

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles trave
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Some particles traveled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.

Explanation:

Rutherford concluded from his experiment that there are empty spaces present in most parts of the atom while a heavy positive charge is present in the nucleus of an atom due to which the tiny positively charged particles deflects because of positive-positive charge repulsion. Most of positively charged particles passes undeflected which indicated the presence of empty spaces in the atoms. The electrons revolve around the nucleus have no effect on the deflection of positively charged particles.

Earth’s axis is tilted to one side. Which phenomenon would cease to exist in the absence of this axial tilt?
Snowcat [4.5K]
The earth's tilt of 23.5 degrees to it's axis as it revolves around the sun causes seasons; summer, spring, winter and autumn. This is due to the orientation of the earth with respect to the sun that cause variations in how to sun rays 'strike' the earth. Consequently, there are variations in temperatures across the earth, over its complete revolution, causing seasons my brotha, Hope this helps!

The pmi for remains of a body enclosed in a plastic bag could best be estimated by
scoundrel [369]
The post mortem interval of a body enclosed in a plastic bag could be best estimated by the insects found in the body, in that case forensic science need to listen to what those little creatures have to say, insects could tell if the body has been moved from the crime scene, how long it´s been in an specific place, and how long it´s been since death until found, every group of insects can tell something different, from worms, arachnids to flyes, each one of them has a time to get into the body, so it could tell you for how long it´s been dead.
