Hi!


The answer would be: Dominant


<h3>Explanation</h3>

A cross between a true breeding short plant (homozygous for short, suppose tt), and a cross between a true breeding tall plant (homozygous for tallness, suppose TT) would result in all the offspring being heterozygous for the traits, meaning they would each have an allele of shortness (t) and an allele of tallness (T).

Considering the offspring were all tall, we understand that the allele for tallness must have been dominant over the allele for shortness to present itself over it. Hence, the term describing the gene for tallness would be dominant, and the term describing the gene for shortness would be recessive.


Hope this helps!

In flowering plants, plasmodesmata are narrow channels through cell walls that connect the cytoplasms of adjacent cells. AN expl

The plant cells communicate across cell walls through Plasmodesmata.

how do plant cells communicate across cell walls?

  • Between tiny channels woven through the walls of neighboring plant cells, plant cells can communicate with one another through channels referred to as plasmodesmata.
  • These channels enable chemicals to move freely between cells, allowing plants to grow regularly and form tissues and organs.
  • However, plasmodesmata also act as entryways that viruses can employ to infect an increasing number of cells.
  • Given these advantages and disadvantages, plants must balance the permeability of their plasmodesmata in order to move materials from one cell to another while preventing the spread of infection.

All proteins carry the genetic codes that determine the structure and function of an organism.

False

Not always, some proteins are used in a variety. <span>Protein channels are needed to transport substances because it accelerates the transport process. Very few substances enter or leave cells without being attached to a transport protein. Different types of substances require different types of proteins to transport them. Protein channels transport water or ions downwards and ATP-powered pumps transport molecules or ions upwards. ATP generates energy to transport the molecules upwards. </span>
