3. A TT (tall) plant is crossed with a tt (short plant). What percentage of the offspring will be tall

1 answer:

5 0

A heterozygous species contain one dominant and one recessive allele. A cross between a purebred tall and short plant will result in 100% tall offspring. Thus, option d is correct.

<h3>What is a genetic cross?</h3>

A genetic cross is a representation of the gametes produced by the two parent species that will undergo the process of fertilization to produce offspring. The crosses can include the heterozygous and purebred species.

The TT allele is a purebred allele that codes for tallness, whereas the tt allele is a purebred recessive allele that codes for shortness. The cross between TT and tt is attached to the image below.

From the cross, it can be said that all the offspring produced are heterozygous tall as there are no offspring with purebred dominant and recessive alleles.

Therefore, option D. 100% of offspring are tall.

Certain types of ________ have a relationship with certain plants where they help convert nitrogen into a usable form.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Answer is C. Bacteria

Certain types of bacteria have a relationship with certain plants where they help convert nitrogen into a usable form.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere, but plants cannot use it because of the absence of a necessary enzyme, nitrogenase, which converts nitrogen into a usable form. So they form a symbiotic relationship (mutually-beneficial arrangement) with nitrogen fixing soil bacteria (rhizobia) which perform biological nitrogen fixation. Biological nitrogen fixation is a process in which the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria coverts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia and organic derivatives that plants can use to synthesize proteins. This bacteria form nodules on the roots of plants like legumes in which nitrogen fixation takes place.

Both plants and bacteria benefit from this symbiotic relationship, as the plant obtains ammonia to synthesize proteins from nitrogen in the atmosphere while bacteria obtain carbon compounds from the plant produced through photosynthesis and a secure environment to grow. As the plant roots leave behind some of the usable form of nitrogen in the soil, this process also increase soil fertility.

Answer:

Explanation:

There are three main sources of heat in the deep earth: (1) heat from when the planet formed and accreted, which has not yet been lost; (2) frictional heating, caused by denser core material sinking to the center of the planet; and (3) heat from the decay of radioactive elements.
