Scientists use several methods to determine the proximity between species. Two of those methods may be an anatomical comparison, by examining the skeleton structure of two species, and DNA composition comparison, by comparison of genes, or specific parts of the DNA, that allow establishing the relative distance between species.

A purebred purple flowering plant is crossed with a purebred white flowering plant, and they produce offspring that have purple
saveliy_v [14]

The given case says, the pure breed purple flower is crossed with pure breed white flower. The pure breed traits are always homozygous in nature.

On crossing white and purple flower, all the  progeny have a phenotype of purple flower. In cross reproduction, the progeny inherit one allele from each parent. So, in the progeny, there would be one allele for purple and one for white, but the phenotype is purple, so, it suggest that purple trait masks the effect of white trait. Hence, the purple phenotype is dominant over white phenotype.

The given cross represent the cross between purple (PP) and white (pp) pure breeds.

The sporophyte generation is:a. diploidb. haploidc. polyploid
fomenos

Answer:

a. diploid

Explanation:

After the fertilization process between haploid egg cell and haploid sperm cell, diploid zygote is formed. Zygote has two sets of chromosomes (one from each gamete) which means it is diploid. Sporophyte stage of life cycle will develop from diploid zygote. During the life cycle of a plant (or algae) sporophyte phase alternates with a gametophyte phase which is haploid. In both, seed plants and flowering plants sporophyte phase (roots, stem, leves, cones/flowers) is more prominent than gametophyte phase (pollen, embryo sac).

Sporophyte phase produces spores via meiosis that develop into gametophte.

PLEASE HELP!!Why might humans not have widespread regeneration abilities?
aev [14]

Answer:

Humans have some stem cells, but those cells are not easily available to help with healing. Most other mammals are the same, so they aren't good at regeneration either. Amphibians and some fish have stem cells that are more easily available, and are usually pretty good at regeneration.
