What are polyploidy and when is this condition useful?

Polyploidy is a condition where an organism has more than two sets of chromosomes. It can be useful in plant breeding, as it can lead to increased genetic diversity, larger plant size, and enhanced resistance to diseases and environmental stresses. However, polyploidy can also result in reproductive isolation and infertility in some cases.


What is the difference between Holiday model and double strand break model of recombination?

In 1964, Robin Holliday proposed a model that accounted for heteroduplex formation and gene conversion during recombination. Although it has been supplanted by the double-strand break model (at least for recombination in yeast and higher organisms), it is a useful place to start.


Are there anymore useful plants beside pandan leaves?

Yes, there are many useful plants besides pandan leaves. Some examples include aloe vera for its healing properties, lavender for its calming effects, and mint for its digestive benefits. Each plant has unique characteristics and uses.


A dogs phenotype can be determined by?

In sexual reproduction, traits are determined by the alleles of an individual's genes inherited from their parent's cells after it has undergone meiosis. The alleles of the parents are randomly selected depending on the chromosomes of the sperm and ova which connect. The 24 pairs of resulting chromosomes in a new individual's cells (half from both parents) determine their traits as each chromosome with DNA and gene segments have traits. Whether the traits show up are resulting to the dominance of the alleles from the inherited chromosomes.


Why are karyotypes useful?

Karyotypes are chromosome maps evaluated for gross genetic defects such as extra or missing chromosomes or large translocations between chromosomes. Many of these gross genetic defects are non-viable, meaning the fetus will not survive to the point of birth, but a few can be viable (think trisomy 21 [Down's syndrome] and fragile X syndrome). With this information, parents can either prepare themselves mentally and emotionally for the potential life-long complications or can choose to terminate the pregnancy.

What are the Characteristics of useful information?

There are many characteristics that can be seen of useful information. Useful information is something that is helpful or relevant.


Why is chromosomes useful?

Chromosomes play a crucial role in carrying genetic information from one generation to the next. They contain the DNA, which encodes an individual's unique traits and characteristics. Chromosomes also aid in cell division and ensure the accurate distribution of genetic material to daughter cells during reproduction.


Why are yellow bananas called triploid organisms?

Triploid organisms are normally sterile as their lack of homologous chromosomes prevents pairing during meiosis. This can be useful to plant breeders, for example in banana cultivation: sterile triploid bananas can be propagated asexually and will not contain any seeds.

What are conflict resolution strategies in AI?

It is the job of a search method to decide on the order in which the rules to be applied.bus sometimes it is useful to incorporate some of decision making into the matching process. this phase of matching process is called conflict resolution strategy.
