Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The biologists describe the animal body in terms of an organizational hierarchy. A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life. Most animals comprised of tissues. Tissues are the groups of specialized cells that interact and provide a specific function. The two or more interacting tissues form an organ that function as a unit and if two or more organs are physically or functionally joined then it leads to the formation of organ system.

Answer to Problem 1MCQ

Correct answer:

The correct order of organization of an animal’s body is cells; tissues; organs; organs system. Therefore, option (d) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

In the organization of human body, the group of cells forms tissues, two or more tissues form organ, and grouping of organs ultimately form the organ system.

Option (d) is given as “cells; tissues; organs; organ systems”

As “the correct order of an animal’s body organization is cells; tissues; organs; organ systems” is the right answer.

Hence, option (d) is correct.

Reason for the incorrect statements:

Option (a), is given as “cells; organs; organ systems; tissues”.

It is not the correct order of organization of an animal’s body as the group of cells form tissues not the organs. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (b), is given as “cells; tissues; organs systems; organs”.

It is also not the correct order of organization of an animal’s body as the group of two or more tissues forms an organ not the organ system. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (c), is given as “tissues; cells; organs; organ systems”.

It is not the order of animal body organizational hierarchy as the group of cells form tissue not the tissues from cells. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect.

Conclusion

Therefore, the correct order of organization of an animal’s body is cells; tissues; organs; organ systems.

Using Punnett Squares Punnett squares are one good way to predict the outcome of genetic crosses. Punnett squares use mathematical probability to help predict the genotype and phenotype combinations in genetic crosses. The number of possible alleles from each parent determines the number of rows and columns in the Punnett square. Independent Assortment KEY QUESTION How do alleles segregate when more than one gene is involved? Mendel wondered if the segregation of one pair of alleles affects another pair. For example, does the gene that determines the shape of a seed affect the gene for seed color? This type of experiment is known as a two-factor, or dihybrid, cross because it involves two different genes. Single-gene crosses are monohybrid crosses. Visual Reading Tool: Two-Factor Cross: F₂ The Punnett square shows the results of self-crossing the F, generation of a cross between round yellow peas and wrinkled green peas. 1. List the different genotypes in the F, generation. What is the…
CHAPTER 12 LESSON 2 Applying Mendel's Principles READING TOOL Connect to Visuals Before you read, preview Figure 12-7. Try to infer the purpose of this diagram. As you read, compare your inference to the text. After you read, revise your statement if needed or write a new one about the diagram's purpose. Take notes on the lines provided. Then view the Punnett square and answer the questions below regarding the genotypes and phenotypes. Inference: Revision: Parent 2 rryy Gametes F ry Parent 1 RRYY Gametes RY RrYy The F, generation are all RrYy. 1. What is the phenotype of parent 1?. 2. What is the genotype of parent 1? 3. What is the phenotype of parent 2? 4. What is the genotype of parent 2? 5. What is the phenotype of the F, offspring?. 6. What is the genotype of the F, offspring?. 7. What kind of cross does this figure describe? 144 Chanter 12 Introduction to Genetice Copyright Pearson Education Inc. or its affiliator. All rights reserved.
