Explain two situations in which it would be important/useful to be able to predict the phenotype and/or genotype of offspring from a cross

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The two situations in which it would be important/useful to be able to predict the phenotype and/or genotype of offspring from a cross include Genetic counseling before marriage so as to enlighten the individuals on the importance and to reduce the risk of having sickle cell offsprings.

The other reason is for paternity and maternity tests. The genotypes and phenotypes are important factors in knowing the paternity of individuals due to the knowledge of genotypic and phenotypic constituents of the individual.

The central (Haversian) canal that runs through the core of each osteon is the site of ________. adipose tissue and nerve fibers cartilage and interstitial lamellae blood vessels yellow marrow and spicules

Answers

Answer:

Blood vessels and nerve fibers

Explanation:

The Haversian canal serves as the bone tissues and it runs through the core of each osteon. The osteon surrounds the Haversian canal and contain structures called lamellae.

These lamella are made largely of collagen fibers and also various network of rich blood vessels and cells which produces blood cells in the body. Nerve cells which helps in the relay of impulses are also present. The rich contents of the bone gives it its strength and durability.

Answer:

The correct answer is: blood vessels and nerve fibers.

Explanation:

Haversian Canals are a group of tubes that are located in the more peripheral region of the bone, known as the cortical bone. The cortical bone is hard and compact and is composed of several concentric layers of bone cells (osteocytes and osteoblasts) that circle around a haversian canal, which contains capillaries and nerve fibers. This structure is called an osteon.

Haversian Canals are very important for the correct functioning of the bone, as they give the cells their needed blood supply and innervation.

Answer: The attachment listed some cell organelles,although there isn't a specific question on then but am going to be defining each of them and state their functions as well.

1. The Nucleus; The is command centre of the cell, it is made up of nuleolus, chromosomes, nucleoplasm,nuclear envelope and nuclear lamina.

it contains the genetic/hereditary materials that the cell is made up of.

The Nucleus plays a great role in the control of growth and development of the cell.

The nucleus also coordinates some of the the activities of the cell like cell division and protein synthesis.

2. Cytoplasm; The cytoplasm is one of the cell organelles,it is the liquid portion of the cell,it consists of cell contents between the plasma and the cell membrane. The fluid cytoplasmic material is where many cell organelles are found/suspended fluid. Most activities carried out by the cell occurs in the cytoplasm.

3. Endoplasmic Reticulum; The Endoplasmic Reticulum is one of the cell organelles that have the structure of a network of flattened sacs and tubules and play a crucial role in plant and animal cell. Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached to the cytoplasmic side of the membrane and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks attached ribosomes in them thus giving it the smooth appearance.

The Endoplasmic Reticulum functions in the production, processing, and transport of proteins and in and out of the cell and also the production of lipids.

4. Golgi Body; One of the plant organelles that plays a role in the sorting and organizing the proteins produced and processed by the Endoplasmic Reticulum. these proteins are sorted and packed in vessicles to be used by the body.

5. Mitochondria; (a double membrane organelle). It is otherwise known as the powerhouse of the cell,it produce/generate energy in the form of ATP needed for cellular respiration. These energy produced is used for other cellular metabolic activities.

6. Lysosome (Animal) Chloroplast (Plant); Lysosomes are found in most animal cells, they function by digesting good and garbage,they contains acids that aids this function in the stomach of the cell and when the lysosome is diseased or explodes,the cell stops functioning.

The Chloroplast on the other hand is found in the cells of plants and algae,they play a crucial broke in photosynthesis by capturing the energy from the sun and turning the captured energy into usable forms like sugar,glucose and other organic molecules.

7. Cell Membrane; The cell membrane is the cell organelle that forms a boundary between the cell and the sorounding environment.

The cell membrane as well controls the movement of cellular materials in and out of the cell.

8. Nucleolus; The nucleolus is one of the cell organelles where ribosomes are made. The ribosomes are small grain-shaped organelles that make protein and they are found in the surface of rough Endoplasmic Reticulum. Nucleolus are small and round in structure and are found in the nucleus,

9. Vacoule (Plant Cells) Centrioles (Animal Cells); The vacoule is a storage chamber(reservoir) for wanted and unwanted materials in the cell, the vacoule is found within the cytoplasm and it is enclosed by a membrane that typically contains fluid.

The centrioles on the part of the animal cell is a cell organelle that has a structure of a two hollow cylinders,ring of microtubules next to each other(the centrosome).the centrioles are located just outside the nucleus of the cell.

Centrioles function by producing the mitotic spindles for cell division, and also assisting to pull chromosome pairs apart to opposite end of the cell during cell division.

10. Cell Wall; A protective semi permeable rigid outer layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms.

The cell wall houses the organelles of the plant cell.

The cell wall functions by giving the cell strength and structure,it's semi permeable nature filters and selectively allows certain materials in and out of the cell.

You are interested in studying if scalloped alleles follow the expected Mendelian inheritance patterns. What crosses will best allow you to study the inheritance pattern from a single generation and why?

Answers

Answer:

Reciprocal crosses

Explanation:

Reciprocal cross is crossing in all possible ways. Such that a parent used as a male can be further used as a female while the parents used as a female can be used as a male. This cross helps to show if indeed the inheritance follows the simple mendelian pattern of inheritance if not the inheritance is somewhat complex and an allele of the gene has more domineering power over the other when used as a specific parents.

The first cross will be between the parental genotypes to obtain the first filial generation offspring. This crosses will be done on both ways

Example

AA × bb

Where AA is the female and bb is the male

bb × AA

Here bb has been used as female while AA is used as a male

If the offspring of the two crosses are the same there is no reciprocal difference and the pattern of inheritance is mendelian fashion if they are different there is reciprocal differences.

You are now taking a ride on the Magic School Bus with Ms. Frizzle. This bus is magic because it can go anywhere within the body. Today’s lesson is on Central Dogma. Ms. Frizzle takes your class directly to the nucleus to start your field trip. Since this trip is about the central dogma, what three major cellular process will be involved? Where will you bus be going within the cell during each of these processes? For each process, describe in your own words and in general what is going on?

Answers

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The trip will involve a bit of stoppage inside the nucleus during which replication and transcription will take place before proceeding to the cytoplasm where synthesized mRNA will become translated into protein.

The central dogma refers to a series of processes during which genetic information in the DNA of a cell is encoded and expressed in living cells. The 3 major steps involved in these processes are:

1. Replication

2. Transcription

3. Translation

Replication involves the synthesis of a double-stranded DNA molecule from a template of another double-stranded DNA molecule within the nucleus. In order words, replication is a process during which a DNA molecule reproduces itself. Each of the strands of the DNA acts as a template for the synthesis of another new strand. Eventually, 2 new double-strand DNA molecules are formed each consisting of one old strand and one new strand.

During transcription, the information contained in deoxyribonucleic acids is encoded and transcribed into another molecule known as the messenger ribonucleic acid. This process happens in the nucleus of the cell.

After transcription and processing of the mRNA produced, the resulting mRNA is then transported to the cytoplasm where, together with the ribosome and transfer RNA, the encoded information becomes translated into protein. Each of the genetic codes in the mRNA is translated to their respective amino acids and the amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds to form a protein.

Stem cell transplants may someday be used to treat Parkinson's disease. Researchers are hopeful that these cells would alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease by

Answers

Answer:

Researchers are hopeful that these cells would alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease by secreting the neurotransmitter dopamine.

Explanation:

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter released by the brain that plays a role in pain processing at various levels of the central nervous system. This includes the spinal cord, periaduectal gray matter, the thalamus, the basal ganglia, the insular cortex, and the cingulate cortex. Low dopamine levels are associated with the painful symptoms that frequently occur in Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's is generated from a neurodegenerative disorder that mainly affects dopaminergic neurons, responsible for producing and secreting dopamine within the brain. When these neurons degenerate, dopamine levels decrease and the consequences are tremor, muscle stiffness and difficulty making voluntary movements, among others.  In Parkinson's disease, there is a loss of dopaminergic neurons and a potential treatment would be that the lost neurons could somehow be replaced. One possibility is to transplant stem cells that differentiate into dopamine-producing nerve cells.

he effect of autonomic fibers on target cells is _________. The effect of somatic fibers on target cells is __________.

Answers

Answer:

The effect of autonomic fibers on target cells is excitatory or inhibitory

The effect of somatic fibers on target cells is always excitatory.

Explanation:

The autonomic fibers is a part of peripheral nervous system that controls the involuntary actions of internal organs and glands like heart and intestines.

It's effect are excitatory or inhibitory because reflexive and involuntary manner. It helps to maintain homeostasis (internal stability and balance) through the coordination of various activities such as hormone secretion, circulation, respiration, digestion and excretion. This system control fight to fight response in the body incase of danger.

This system operate in opposite" actions where one system activates a physiological response and the other inhibits it.

The somatic fibers are part of the peripheral nervous system that help transmit sensory information and motor information. They are made up of nerves that connect to the skin, sensory organs, and all skeletal muscles.

Somatic neurons are excitatory neurons because excite their target postsynaptic neurons or target cells causing it to function..

A particular protein (Vac8) found in yeast has this N-terminal sequence, Met-Gly-Ser-Ser-Cys.... The corresponding DNA sequence in the coding strand is 5' ATG GGC TCA TCG TGC.... If the DNA sequence is mutated to 5' CTG GGC TCA TCG TGC..., what will happen to this VAC8 gene? (in RNA, CUG codes for Leu)

Answers

Answer:

The protein will not be synthesized because this point mutation produces the loss of the start codon (substitution of Met by Leu).

Explanation:

The mutations are changes in the DNA sequence that have diverse effects on protein synthesis. A mutation in the start AUG codon may lead to the reduction and even the elimination of protein synthesis. In consequence, this type of point mutation is usually referred to as 'start-loss mutation'.

Explanation:

If evolution is based upon there being genetic diversity between generations, how does the lack of genetic differences existing between daughter cells created via mitosis impact the theory of evolution

Answers

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

If evolution is based upon genetic diversity, it means that evolution in organisms that only reproduce by mitotic division will depend largely on the frequency of random mutation of genes.

The only way that genetic diversity can occur between daughter cells formed from mitosis is if mutation takes place. Mutation general means a sudden change to the gene sequence of an organism.

Without mutation, evolution in mitotic organisms will be non-existence because there are no new genes or alleles being introduced into the gene pool.
