Suppose that seed size in a particular plant species is a polygenic trait. A grower crosses two different pure-breeding varietie

s of the plant, and measures seed size in the F1 progeny. She then backcrosses the F1 plants to one of the parental varieties and measures seed size in the backcross progeny. The grower finds that seed size in the backcross progeny has a higher variance than seed size in the F1 progeny. What is the most likely explanation for the higher seed size variability in the backcross progeny?

Answer:

The size of a seed in a specific plant is transmitted as a polygenic trait. When crossing between two true-breeding varieties takes place, the heterozygous individuals are obtained in the F1 generation. When these F1 offspring are backcrossed with one of the parents, there will be an increase in the variance. This is due to the fact that the backcross progeny are not uniformly heterozygous at the seed size loci.

If i wanted to look at a onion cell what type of microscope would be best to use
poizon [28]
It is best to use regular light microscopes to observe that.

For simple structures, onion cells doesn't require a very large magnification. Magnifications for such as 100X or 150X is already enough to determine the different structures of onion cells such as cell walls or cytoplasm.

It is not very suitable to use a electron microscope especially as high school or college students, as electronic microscopes can be really expensive, usually only top universities have them. Also, it is quite complicated to control the microscope comparing to the common light microscope that we can easily find in many school laboratories. They're easy to function and they're a lot cheaper.

So, it's best advised to use a light microscope, unless if you're really into studying very detailed structures and you're experienced in doing these sorts of things, then you should use a electron microscope.

A test organism develops a genetic mutation that causes neurons to develop without synaptic knobs. How will this impact neuronal
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The electrical signal will not be converted into chemical signal.

Explanation:

The synaptic knob is the bulbous enlargement also called synaptic terminal preset at the end of the axon.

The synaptic knob is a living cell and thus contains all the living features but they also contain the vesicles which store the neurotransmitters, therefore, synaptic knob acts as a site which converts the electrical signal into a chemical signal. The released neurotransmitter from the synaptic knob interacts with the post neuron or recipient neuron.

If the mutation develops in the neurons which result in the formation of neurons without synaptic knob therefore the electrical signal will not be converted into a chemical signal and thus signal will stop.
