Why were the alpha particles deflected by the nucleus and not attracted to it?

Biology
1 answer:
Leokris [45]2 years ago

Answer:

Alpha particles are positively charged He nuclei. And the nucleus contains positive charged protons and neutral neutrons. On hitting the nucleus, due to similar charges, alpha particles repel away. (Like repels like)

The genes R, E and D are independently assorting and control production of red pigment as follows (recessive alleles are not fun
Alona [7]

Answer:

1/8

Explanation:

An individual must have all three dominant alleles to be red, in homozygosis or heterozygosis (R_E_D_).

<u>The parental cross was:</u>

RREEDD x rreedd

F1: RrEeDd

<u>The test cross</u> is between the RrEeDd indiviudals and homozygous recessive rreedd.

The genes assort independently, so we can use Mendel's law of segregation to predict separately for each gene the proportion of the offspring that will have the dominant alleles.

<h3><u>Rr x rr</u></h3>

1/2 Rr

1/2 rr

<h3><u>Ee x ee</u></h3>

1/2 Ee

1/2 ee

<h3><u>Dd x dd</u></h3>

1/2 Dd

1/2 dd

Genes are independent, so the probability of having a R_E_D_ offpsring is calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities of having a dominant allele for each gene:

1/2 (Rr) × 1/2 (Ee) × 1/2 (Dd)= 1/8

If a corn plant was heterozygous for kernel color and seed shape, what would be the genotype of the plant?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

<em>The genotype of the plant will be PpSs and the phenotype will be purple colour and smooth shaped. </em>

Explanation:

Considering the description in the question, we know that purple colour is dominant over the yellow colour and smooth shape is dominant over the wrinkled shape.

A homozygous trait can be described as a trait which arises due to the same alleles of a gene. A heterozygous trait arises when both the alleles of a gene are different. In such a case, one allele will be dominant over the other one and the phenotype of the dominant allele will be seen in the plant. As purple colour and smooth shape are dominant traits, hence they will be seen in the heterozygous plant.

What are some of the conditions that the cell must regulate in order to maintain homeostasis? Do
Drupady [299]

Answer:

to maintain homeostasis these things must be controlled:

  • pH levels in the body (I.e. the stomach)
  • wanted levels
  • sugar levels
  • level of Co2 in our bodies
  • blood glucose levels
  • body temperature

we maintain homeostasis to ensure that our enzymes, which speed up or make chemical reactions are working well and work within he required conditions.

external things we can do to maintain homeostasis:

  • wearing the appropriate clothing in summer and winter
  • consuming the correct temperature beverages (i.e. cold drinks in summer)
  • consumitn the correct temperature and nutrient required foods (I.e. nutritious pumpkin soup in winter)

we also shiver when we are cold - the friction between our muscles produces heat.
