The correct answer is: B. In sexual reproduction, individuals transmit half of their nuclear genes to each of their offspring.

The main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction is that in sexual reproduction genetic material from two parents is combined, while in asexual reproduction produced offspring is genetically identical to the one parent. So, advantage of sexual reproduction is that produced unique organisms contribute to genetic diversity (variation is formed). But, comparing to asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction requires more energy and lasts longer.

Asexual reproduction is found in lower organisms and can be in different forms: budding, vegetative reproduction, fragmentation, spore formation.

Suppose that Gene B occurs in a sea turtle gene pool where the frequency of the B1 allele is 0.5 and the frequency of the B2 all
disa [49]

Answer:

Frequency of the B3 allele = 0.1

Explanation:

The allele frequencies in a given population remain constant which means that every generation will have the same gene pool across the generations. As per Hardy Weinberg’s first equilibrium equation, the sum of frequency of all the alleles at a given locus is equal to one  

Thus, if "p" represents the frequency of B1 allele and "q" represents the frequency of B2 allele and "r" represents the allele for B3 allele. Then, sum or "p", "q" and "r" is equal to one.

p+q+r = 1\\

Substituting the given values, we get -

0.5 + 0.4 + r = 1\\0.9 + r = 1\\r = 1-0.9\\r = 0.1

Enhancerless GFP reporter constructs used in research conducted in mice contain a generic mouse gene promoter (TATA box) followe
balandron [24]

Answer:

the reporter gene can randomly insert near to an enhancer sequence which can induce its expression

Explanation

Enhancers are genetic sequences capable of activating gene expression by binding to specific proteins (e.g., transcription factors). Enhancers can regulate the expression of nearby genes located thousands of nucleotides away, i.e., over several kilobases away. In the human genome, it is well known that enhancers are scattered across the 98% of the genome. In this case, it is expected that the reporter GFP gene construct is randomly inserted near an enhancer sequence (a 10% chance of insertion), thereby being regulated by that enhancer.

Does plant food X have an effect on the production of tomatoes?
steposvetlana [31]
Hypothesis: If Plant Food X is used on a tomato plant, then production rate will increase. 
experiment: Gather 2 tomato plants of the same height and age. Make two groups, a control group (a tomato plant without use of fertilizer) and an experimental group (a tomato plant with using Plant Food X).
For one week, give each plant the same amount of water, humidity, sunlight, and air temperature. after a week measure the height and number of tomatoes produced. gather the info in a table and compare to hypothesis after one week.

How can light energy solve real-life problems?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

It helps us to see things.

It helps plants to make food and grow.

It is used in power satellites and space stations.

It is used in many electronic appliances.

The energy of light from the sun can be harvested to solar panels and can be used for domestic use since it is eco-friendly and cost effective too.

katen-ka-za [31]

During the citric acid cycle, the production of co2 is the result of the oxidation of intermediate compounds of the citric acid cycle coupled to the production of ATP/GTP.

<span>The citric acid cycle has an essential role in metabolism, and it consist of series of steps. The citric acid cycle is also known as Krebs cycle. One other name of this cycle is Tricarboxylic Acid (TCA)cycle.</span>
