Answer to Problem 1DYKB

Correct Answer: option (C) Replacing cells through cell division.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation/justification for the correct answer:

Option c. Replacing cells through cell division.

Some cells such as neurons or in plant tissues like parenchyma cells do not perform cell division. These cells can survive without performing cell division. In the case of parenchyma cells, which are also called permanent tissues, they provide structural support to the plant.

The explanation for the incorrect answer:

Option a. Obtaining nutrients and chemical building blocks.

Cells obtain nutrients like sugar or fat; they do this to provide the cell with energy. This function is necessary for all types of cells to keep functioning.

Option b. Maintaining the integrity of the plasma membrane.

Maintaining plasma membrane integrity is essential for cellular homeostasis.

The cell membrane receives damage from the intracellular and extracellular environment to avoid lethal consequences maintaining the integrity of the cell membrane is important.

Option d. Disposing types of wastes.

For cells to function properly, the disposal of waste is necessary.

Your goal is to produce black seeds resistant to mold. So you make the same cross again (between a homozygous black seeded, mold susceptible parent and a homozygous white seeded and mold resistant parent), and, again, advance progeny by SSD to create 100 F10 generation plants.   Based on the information you obtained from your first crossing experiment (Question #4), how many F10 plants would you expect to have black seeds and be resistant to mold? Assume that a toxin produced by the mold fungus has been isolated. Only mold resistant seeds will germinate in the presence of the toxin. Could you use this toxin screening procedure to have segregation distortion work in your favor in the F2 generation? Explain your answer. Info from Question 4 a. P Locus (Seed Color): Hypothesis: The null hypothesis (H₀) is that seed color is controlled by alleles at a single locus. Observed Data: Total white seeds: 45 (resistant plants) + 6 (susceptible plants) = 51 Total black seeds: 7 (resistant…
10. Consider the following enzyme and its substrate where the "+" and "-" indicate cations and anions, respectively. Explain which of the following inhibitors could inhibit this enzyme? Which type of inhibitor would it be and why? (Video 5-2) Substrate Enzyme Potential inhibitors
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…
