When you cross two heterozygotes with the genotype Aa, the offspring will be: <span>Parents: Aa x Aa</span>
<span>F1 generation: AA Aa Aa aa</span>
<span>This means that ½ of the offspring will be heterozygous, ¼ will be homozygous (dominant) and ¼ will be homozygous (recessive).</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is B
Explanation:
Transposons need to regulate their copy number to avoid errors with chromosomal pairing during meiosis and mitosis such as unequal crossover.
A typical example of this error is called the Alu Sequence or Elements. Alu elements contain more than one million copies found everywhere in the genome of human beings.
Many inherited human diseases such as cancer are related to Alu insertions.
Cheers!
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Underwater earthquakes cause motion throughout ocean water.
The correct option is D.
When it comes to movement of particles in an out of cells, there are two basic types of transportation, these are passive and active transportation. The passive transportation of particles does not require the use of energy while the active transport system requires the use of energy in the form of ATP. From the diagram given in the question, it can be seen that energy is involved in the process. Energy is mainly needed to move the particles against the concentration gradient since the inside of the cell is highly concentrated while the outside has low concentration. <span />
Answer:
The gray matter in the spinal cord is located in the <u><em>grey column</em></u> , and its shape resembles a letter H, or a butterfly. The cell bodies of somatic motor neurons are primarily housed in the <u><em>ventral or anterior</em></u> horns, which innervate skeletal muscle.
Explanation:
The grey matter is a component of the central nervous system that contains neuronal and glial cells and it can be found in the brain, brainstem and <em>spinal cord, in this last one, is found in the grey column, a mass of grey matter shaped in H form.</em>
In this column the grey matter is divided into four columns (as you can see in the image I added):
- The dorsal or posterior horn: contains somatosensorial neurons
- <em> The ventral or anterior horn: contains somatic efferent motor neurons (they exit the spinal cord to innervate skeletal muscle) </em>
- The intermediate column: contains neurons to innervate visceral organs
- The lateral horn: same as the intermediate column
I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
