The varieties of chrysanthemums containing all multiples of nine chromosomes are autopolyploids. Their karyotypes share the feature of an even number of basic haploid chromosome sets.  

Autopolyploids are described as the chromosome sets of an individual when more than two sets of chromosomes are present. They are specifically from the same specie. They can occur when pair of homologous chromosomes have not separated into different nuclei during meiosis. Since, during meiosis, the chromosome sets are separated equally thus karyotypes have an equal number of haploid chromosomes.

Organisms with 27 chromosomes are Triploids(3n) that are sterile because Trivalents at meiosis 1 would form a high number of unbalanced gametes to be formed.

Processes such as changes in orbital geometry or volcanic eruptions have clearly affected climate in the past, and these explain
docker41 [41]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

There has been a constant increase in the earth's global surface temperature. This global rise in temperature is due to the increasing number of volcanic eruptions on earth's surface, changes in the orbital geometry as well as due to the introduction of the industrial revolution, that has been taking place on earth for the last 200 years.

The eruption of volcanoes leads to the release of a large number of pyroclastic materials and greenhouse gases and volcanic gases such as CO₂, SO₂, H₂O, H₂S and many other gases, which is harmful to the atmosphere. This leads to an increasing amount of temperature, resulting in the melting of the glaciers in the polar region.

Over this long time, plate motions have rapidly taken place, due to which the volcanoes were formed and erupted near the convergent and the divergent plate boundaries.

Thus, the above-given statement is true.

In the light dependent reactions light energy is absorbed by the photosytem II and an electron is released. This electron causes a process called photolysis to occur(H20-->2H++2e-+1/2O2). This is how O2 is released in the atmosphere. The electrons resulted from photolyisis enter the electron transport chain. In the electron transport chain using the energy in the elecrtons, hydrogen protons are pumped inside the thylakoid. Those protons accumulate to form an electrochemical gradient. That means the protons need to flow out, and they do through an enzyme called ATP-synthase which turns ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP and water. In the electron transport chain, the electrons reach Photosystem I where NADP+ is reduced and becomes NADPH.

ATP and NADPH store the energy absorbed in the light dependent reactions. Those two molecules are needed when CO2 is fixated in Calvin's cycle to synthesize glucose.

What was Mendel's explanation for the fact that 0% of the offspring from this cross were green?
VMariaS [17]
So Mendel got roughly 75% yellow and 25% green in f2. This means that f1 contains all heterozygous genes, as shown below

Y y
Y YY Yy
y Yy yy
Summary: 75% YY or Yy, 25% yy

Which means that green (y) is a recessive phenotype, while yellow (Y) is a dominant phenotype, since plants with heterozygous genotype Yy express the yellow trait.
