Answer:
A. If neither parent expresses the trait, but the offspring does, both parents must be heterozygous for the trait.
Explanation:
If neither parents express the trait is because they are heterozygous and the dominant allele is being expressed over the recessive trait. When parents cross they have 25% of having an offspring that expresses the recessive trait, this means the offspring is a recessive homozygous. In the attached example 25% or 1/4 will have a short stem.
I think C, correct me if I’m wrong.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
All living organisms ranging from unicellular prokaryotes to multicellular eukaryotes contain genetic material (DNA). This genetic material is usually found on structures called CHROMOSOMES. Although, the chromosomes are contained in the genome of all living organisms, there are differences.
The genetic material of the bacteria (a typical prokaryote) is a single DNA molecule that makes up its single circular chromosomal material, unlike in eukaryotes that contains double-stranded DNA molecules on linear chromosomes. This single circular chromosome of bacteria is found naked in a region of their cell called NUCLEOID, as they do not possess a membrane-bound nucleus that houses it (a unique characteristics of eukaryotes).
The mitochondrial and Chloroplast DNA mentioned in the other options are all components of eukaryotic cells. Bacteria, as a prokaryote does not contain this organnelles. Hence, they are not single replica.
ACHONDROPLASTI DWARFISM is a condition that is characterized as long, narrow trunk, short limbs and a large head. It is the most common type of dwarfism and it occurs in about 1 out of 40.000 babies. Other features of the condition include: protruding jaw, flattened bridge of the nose, forward curvature of the lower spine and bow legs.
