Answer: option A, B and D
Explanation:
The telomeres found at the terminal ends of eukaryotic chromosomes are long repetitive sequences that protects the DNA from being identify as a damage molecule to encourage fusion with other chromosomes. Since replication does not extend down to these 3' ends, the cell recruits the telomerase enzyme which is a ribonucleoprotein that helps to add telomeric repeats using its own RNA component as template to extend this end. Thus if mutation like a large deletion occurs in the gene encoding for this enzyme, the telomerase would not be able to associate correctly with the telomere, the catalytic center also encoding for its RNA polymerase would be altered and the enzymes will not be able to synthesize new telomeric repeats sequences
Coral Bleaching is hazardous to fish because It leaves fish and corals vulnerable to deseases.And the average temperature of tropical oceans increases by 0.1 degrees C, over the past century.Fish are affected because, most fish in the ocean live in coral reffs, which end up dying, and leaving its habitant fish without a home.
The correct answer is 9:3:3:1
When two homozygotes for two traits cross, the phenotypic ratio of the offspring is 9:3:3:1 ( unless other factors like epistatic interaction change the inheritance model).
In our case, we have two simple traits of seed color and seed shape that follow the Mendelian model of inheritance.
In this dihybrid cross, we have
9/16 of the offspring expressing both dominant traits ( yellow and round seeds)
3/16 expressing one dominant and one recessive trait ( yellow and wrinkled)
3/16 expressing the other dominant and recessive trait (green and round)
1/16 expressing both recessive traits ( green and wrinkled)
The answer is; B is younger than D
In sedimentary rocks, the bottom layers are older that overlaying layers. This is because sediments are placed on top of each other by surface runoffs to ocean beds. Therefore, the first sediments to be deposited will always be towards the bottom as more and newer ones are brought in and deposited.
