Is it possible for plant breeders to develop a true-breeding pink-flowered snapdragon?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Pink flower colour in snapdragon is as a result of incomplete dominance. The pink flower colour has no allele in nature. Instead, the pink colour results from incomplete dominance of the allele that codes for red flower colour over the allele that codes for the white flower colour.

Assuming that the allele for red flower colour in the plant is R and the allele for white flower colour is r, true breeding red and white flower colour plants will have the genotype RR and rr respectively. In heterozygote state (Rr), the phenotype is usually pink, showing that the R allele has incomplete dominance over the r allele.

<em>Hence, there is no way for plant breeders to develop a true-breeding pink-flowered snapdragon. without some genetic manipulations/mutation.</em>

Why does putting your name on a health behavior contract indicate your commitment to the contract?
dimulka [17.4K]
Because it is written. A popular tool used for motivation and commitment is the use of written contracts and often does not even need to be as lengthy as a contract. A slip of paper or even another writing surface has been shown to significantly increase the likelihood of committing to that action. 

There is also premeditation involved when signing a contract or writing on a piece of paper. An individual has read and recognized the written words and then signed it according to a commitment to that act. As such there is a significant amount of thought put into the over procedure, and thus increases again the likelihood of an individual to be committed to completing those actions.

Aside from all the factors of motivation, the signing demonstrates commitment to the contract because that is fairly universally understood to be the way in which people recognize and formally commit to contracts. Whatever the context of the action, whether signing papers to buy a house or for a new job, the signing of the contract is the commitment of the individuals involved to complete the requirements within the contract. Although in this instance the healthier behavior most directly affects the individual who signs the paper.

You conduct a mark-recapture survey of eastern fence lizards (Sceloporus undulates) in a 2-hectare plot in eastern Arizona. You
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Given -

Total number of initially marked lizards (M) = 250

Total number of recaptured lizards (C) = 75

Total number of recaptured marked lizards (R) = 24

As we know that -

\frac{M}{N} = \frac{R}{C}

We have to find "N" . "N" is the total population size of lizards in a 2-hectare plot in eastern Arizona.

Thus, on rearranging the above equation, we get -

N = \frac{M * C}{R}

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

N = \frac{250 * 75}{24} \\N = 781.25\\N = 781.3

Hence, option C is correct

Digiron [165]
Limiting factors are what controls the population of an ecosystem. It also limits the kind of organisms that inhabit it. Limiting factors can be abiotic or biotic. Abiotic factors are the nonliving factors that affect the living ones. From the given options above, the only biotic limiting factor is vegetation. The correct answer would be option B.
