Dutch agriculture critically dependent upon technology because they don't have much undeveloped land. Being dependent on technology to produce agricultural crops is so far the best solution if given the fact that the place is not gifted with a fertile land. The other option also is to export import agricultural products.

) When predicting the phenotype of the offspring from a dihybrid cross, why is it so important that each gene is located in a di

Bond [772]

Answer:

a) The genes present on separate chromosomes exhibit indepedent assortment.

b) The genotype of tall and purple flower parent= TTPp

The genotype of short and purple flower parent: ttPp

Explanation:

a) In a dihybrid cross, if the genes are present on the same chromosome, they will not exhibit independent assortment. The genes present on the same chromosome are called linked genes. Linked genes are inherited together. The absence of independent assortment of a linked gene gives more of parental types in F2 progeny. Therefore, if genes are not present on a separate chromosome, Mendel’s ratios deviate.

b) Alleles for tallness and purple flower are dominant. In the progeny, all the plants are tall. This means that the dominant tall plant is homozygous. With respect to flower color, the trait exhibits segregation of dominant and recessive alleles and both purple and white flower progeny are obtained. This makes both the plants heterozygous for the flower color gene.

The genotype of tall and purple flower parent= TTPp

The genotype of short and purple flower parent: ttPp

By what mechanism would a nonpolar molecule move across a membrane if it is moving up its concentration gradient

SVEN [57.7K]

Non polar molecule move across a membrane through simple diffusion, when moving up their concentration gradient. Simple diffusion involves movement of molecules through a membrane without the help of integral membrane protein. These molecules are driven by the force of diffusion. This is different from facilitated diffusion where molecules only move with the aid of integral protein in the membrane.

A change in a given direction causes change in the opposite direction.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Negative Feedback

Explanation:

Negative feedback is a stimulus that cause the system to move in the opposite direction of what has happening. For example if your are cold, you will shiver in order to create heat that will cause your body temperature to increase. But if you are hot you will sweat which will cause your body temperature to decrease.
