Alleles are also like genes which contain a trait from the parent cells that could be likely passed on to the offspring cells. For example, the trait of having blue eyes of the father and brown eyes of the mother are two alleles. There are probability for these alleles to pass on. 'p' designated the success of one allele to pass on, while 'q' designates a failure. When these two are added up, the sum would be 1. Therefore:

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.44
q = 0.56

omeli [17]

Answer:

A. The gene for surface protein was transcribed and translated.

Explanation:

Because all living organisms use the same genetic code, it is possible to express genes from one organism in the other. In this case, the DNA sequence that corresponds to the hepatitis B surface protein gene has been inserted into the banana, and the protein is expressed.

For the protein to be expressed, the gene must have been successfully transcribed into an mRNA by the banana plant machinery. This mRNA has then been translated into a protein that means the hepatitis B surface protein is now present in the cell.

What feature of both true mosses and ferns makes it most surprising that they can survive for many generations in dry deserts? U
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A

Explanation:

Desert biomes are characterised by the presence of the arid conditions or with few or less amount of rainfall.

The plant groups called the bryophytes and pteridophytes are dependent on the water for their fertilization which allows completing their life cycle.

In the desert conditions provided in the question, the mosses and ferns survived for many generations as these plant groups produced sperms with flagella which helped the sperms to swim in the water provided by the 10-inch rainfall per year and reach the female gamete and fertilize the egg cell.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.

Which of the following sets of materials is required by both eukaryotes and prokaryotes for replication? Group of answer choices
erastova [34]

Answer:

Double-stranded DNA.

Explanation:

Replication may be defined as the process of formation of the daughter DNA from the parent DNA with the help of enzymes and proteins. The three main process of replication are inititation , elongation and termination.

The double stranded DNA molecule undergoes the process of replication. Four different dNTPs - adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine are required for the process of replication.  Primers are required for initiation of the process of replication and ori region is the inititaion point of replication.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

Sunlight is the main change! sun light cannot penetrate into the deep layers of the ocean and availability of oxygen is also low there. this causes the considerable amount of organisms to live in the upper layers of the ocean and we can only observe decomposing organisms in the deeper layers!
