Answer:

Mendel's law of independent assortment states that the genes are separated and inherited independently of each other into the gametes.

The corn can be used to study the law if independent assortment as each kernel of the corn is its fruit. Thus, it is a result of sexual reproduction.

Single corn may contain 800-1000 kernels which may have different shape, texture, structure et cetera as result of independent assortment, that is, each kernel receives alleles of genes independent of each other.

For example, a gene responsible for the texture of kernel would be inherited independently of the gene responsible for the color of the kernel.

<span>this is a great example how brothers and sisters don't look exactly like you. each pair show dominance or segregation independently. when chromosomes make pairs or tetraploid, they arrange in variety of ways. one child would have mom*s eye color and mom*s hair color, while other child*s chromosomes arrange in a way the he has mom*s eye color and dad*s hair color. they arrange in many different ways, that*s why you call that they segregates independently from each other.</span>

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

d. transcription factors

Explanation:

Transcription factors are the proteins present in cells that are involved in the regulation of gene expression. The transcription factors may increase or decrease the expression of a gene. Therefore, a transcription factor may serve as an activator or repressor for a gene. These proteins bind to a regulatory sequence present near or within a gene, interact with RNA polymerase or other transcription factors and thereby, affect the transcription initiation.

Since binding of dioxin to certain proteins alter the pattern of gene expression in the cells, these proteins are the transcription factors. For instance, dioxin may bind to a transcription factor and up-regulate the expression of genes which in turn regulate the cell division.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is- Resistance

Explanation:

The ability of any organism in a population to tolerate a chemical like insecticide, pesticide or antibiotic which is designed to kill it or slow its reproduction is called resistance.

For example, the antibiotic resistance is seen in some bacteria like MRSA(Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus). They gain this resistance because they have some variant traits in their genome which provide them resistance against these chemicals.  

These individual are selected through natural selection when the environmental condition changes and become adverse. So the correct answer is resistance.
