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.

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.

Answer:

The correct answer is - a, and b.

Explanation:

Plasticity is the ability of the change in the brain during course of life span. It is a remarkable ability to recovery after the surgery or removal of the part of the brain or injury to the brain.

The neurogenesis is the ability to the regeneration of the nervous system cell, it can occur in the adulthood as well however it takes approximately six week time.

Thus, the correct answer is - a, and b.

The type of selection that favored progressively larger brain size in human evolution is _______ selection

dem82 [27]

T he type of selection that favored progressively larger brain size in human evolution is directional selection. Directional selection is a type of natural selection (besides stabilizing selection, disruptive selection, kin selection,..) in which an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes. Because progressively larger brain size is an extreme phenotype this is a directional selection.

Synthesized RNA

Explanation:

Oligonucleotide synthesis is the characterized chemical structure (sequence) and short pieces of nucleic acids
The Manufactured oligonucleotides are single-stranded DNA or RNA atoms around 15–25 bases long
The middle loop carries a nucleotide triplet called the anticodon
Binding with a particular codon in the mRNA by explicit RNA-to-RNA base matching. Since codons in mRNA are perused in the 5′ → 3′direction, anticodons are situated in the 3′ → 5′ direction

Use this model of a eukaryotic transcript to answer the following question. E = exon and I = intron 5' UTR E1 I1 E2 I2 E3 I3 E4

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

During RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons are joined tp each other to form a mature mRNA and this RNA moves to cytosol.. So 5' UTR , UTR 3' and all exons are joined together.

All introns are removed and exons are joind during RNA splicing process.

So the final mRNA is 5' UTR E1 E2 E3 E4 UTR 3'.

Which description properly describes the plant structures involved in photosynthesis? Stomata take in water, sunlight, and carbo

erma4kov [3.2K]

The correct answer is that "xylem transports water, stomata take in carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll absorbs sunlight." The xylem is a vascular structure in plants that transport water, the phloem is another vascular structure in plants that transport nutrients. The stomata (singular; stoma) is the one responsible for the plants' gas exchange (takes in carbon dioxide, releases oxygen). The chlorophyll is what makes the green pigment of the leaves and mostly because of the presence of chloroplasts, the organelle in plant cells responsible for photosynthesis.
