In maize, a dominant allele A is necessary for seed color, as opposed to colorless (a). Another gene has a recessive allele wx t

hat results in waxy starch, as opposed to normal starch (Wx). The two genes segregate independently. An Aa WxWx plant is test crossed. What are the phenotypes and relative frequencies of offspring?

Answer:

  • 1/2 Aa Wx wx (colored seeds, normal starch)
  • 1/2 aa Wx wx (colorless seed, normal starch).

Explanation:

  • A (colored seed) is dominant over a (colorless)
  • Wx (normal starch) is dominant over wx (waxy)

Both loci are independent.

A <em>Aa WxWx </em>individual was test crossed (crossed with a homozygous recessive <em>aa wxwx</em> individual).

  • The homozygous recessive can only produce <em>a wx </em>gametes.
  • The dihybrid individual can produce two types of gametes, all of them with the same frequency because the genes segregate independently: 1/2 <em>A Wx </em>and 1/2<em> a Wx </em>

<u>The possible offspring resulting from the combination of those gametes is:</u>

  • 1/2 Aa Wx wx (colored seeds, normal starch)
  • 1/2 aa Wx wx (colorless seed, normal starch).

Which attributes would allow a cell to be larger?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Perfectly cube - shaped

Explanation:

If the shape of a cell is perfectly cube- shape then its volume must be calculated with an equation:

Height×Width×number of sides and number of boxes

Surface= area of volume ratio is calculated with an equation

Area /volume

if a cell has large surface area to volume into ratio means it has greater exposure to the environment.It means that flow of nutrients and gases move freely in the small cell compared to large cell.

A. Cystic fibrosis deaths should be more common in the regions with tuberculosis.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is a type of genetic disorder which affects the lungs mostly. Its long-term symptoms include uneasy breathing and coughing up mucus from lung infections. Therefore, In a place where tuberculosis is predominant, cyctic fibrosis death will rise.

Why does the cell use proteasomes or lysosomes to destroy misfolded proteins or proteins that are no longer needed? Destruction
vladimir1956 [14]

      That's right, what really happens is that the cell needs a "trash can", just like we do, because sometimes, things can go wrong along the process.

      The processes that the lysosomes can be involved are quite a lot, but the main one is the protein making. Why? Well, it's simple, there's a chance of mistake in each part of a protein our cells make through all the process, and when this happens, the cell recognizes it before this protein goes outside the cell, after this recognition, some flags are put in it to mark it.

       This mark will work in a way that the protein will go into the lysosome, and in a lysosome, there are several kinds of enzymes, so this protein can be degrated into little components again, the amino acids, and these can be used again in the process of making a new one. This is the process of recycling the protein, whether it's a misfolded protein or even the ones that the body won't need it for now.
