The phloem tissue of vascular plants is primarily composed of sieve elements and companion cells. These components allow the tis

sue to function in a very specialized way. Sieve elements are arranged in long, cylindrical patterns that form a tube of cells. The cell membranes of these sieve elements allow molecules to pass between the cells of the tube. Companion cells are responsible for taking up certain molecules made in the plant's leaves through active transport and moving them into the tubes made by sieve elements. Based on the composition of phloem tissue, it is most likely used by the plant for

<span>Phloem tissue is used by the plant for transport of the food made during photosynthesis in the leaves to all other parts of the plant. This transport process is called translocation and the molecules that are transported are the soluble organic compounds, in particular, the sucrose.</span>

Genetic linkage mapping for a large number of families identifies 4% recombination between the genes for Rh blood type and ellip
Cloud [144]

Answer:

0.2404

Explanation:

The genes R/r and E/e are linked and there is 4% recombination between them.

<u>The possible genotypes and phenotypes are:</u>

  • RR or Rr: Rh+ blood type
  • rr: Rh- blood type
  • EE or Ee: elliptocytosis
  • ee: normal red blood cells

Tom and Terri each have elliptocytosis (they are E_), and each is Rh+ (they are R_).

Tom's mother has elliptocytosis (E_) and is Rh- (rr), so she has the genotype Er/_r. His father is healthy (ee) and has Rh+ (R_), so he has the genotype eR/e_. Tom must have inherited his E allele from his mother and his R allele  from his father, so he has the genotype eR/Er.

Terri's father is Rh+ (R_) and has elliptocytosis (E_), while Terri's mother is Rh- (rr) and is healthy (ee) with the genotype er/er. Terry could only receive the chromosome <em>er </em>from her mother, and because she is heterozygous for both genes the dominant alleles were both received from her father. Terri's genotype is ER/er.

The frequency of recombination is 4%, so 4% of the produced gametes will be recombinant. There are two possible recombinant gametes, so each will appear 2% of the times (a frequency of 0.02).

<u />

<u>Tom will produce the following gametes:</u>

  • eR, parental (0.48)
  • Er, parental (0.48)
  • er, recombinant (0.02)
  • ER (recombinant (0.02)

<u>Terri will produce the following gametes:</u>

  • ER, parental (0.48)
  • er, parental (0.48)
  • Er, recombinant (0.02)
  • eR, recombinant (0.02)

A child Rh- with elliptocytosis has the genotype rrE_. This can happen from the independent combination of the following gametes from Tom and Terri respectively:

  • Er (0.48) × er (0.48) = 0.2304 Er/er
  • Er (0.48) × Er (0.02) = 0.0096 Er/Er
  • er (0.02) × Er (0.02) = 0.0004 er/Er

And the total probability of having a rrE_ child will be 0.2304 + 0.0096 + 0.0004 = 0.2404

eduard

Answer:

B. Birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.

Explanation:

Most birds can drop the temperature a few centigrade degrees, while there are torpid birds capable of lowering much more. Birds can drop body temperature in response to environmental conditions. Bird species including, among others, swifts, hummingbirds and chickadees are capable of regulating body temperature during torpor state. There are different morphological and behavioral adaptative traits that enable birds to minimize the cost of thermoregulation. In the first place, epidermis surface allows heat loss to the environment, while arteries and veins in the legs help to retain heat in cold conditions.

Starting from a single individual, what is the size of a population of bacteria that reproduce by binary fission every 20 minute
masya89 [10]

Answer:

 C) 128

Explanation:

In binary fission each bacterial cell will divide into two parts.

1. Since the bacteria divides divides after every 20 min , We have to find the number of division in two hours two hour(2x60=120 min) which will be;

120÷20=6

It will undergo 6 divisions.

2. To calculate the number of bacteria at the end of 2 hours

Bacteria in the beginning x 2∧ Number of division

1× 2∧6= 128 Bacteria
