The correct answer is bacteria. Bacteria abundant in soil is the main source of its organic matter. This is because bacteria release energy in their systems which causes the soil to be more fertile and more capable of sustaining plant material. Without bacteria general processes of soil formation will not be possible.

Plants are the main source of organic matter in soil. Animals and microorganisms also contribute. Microorganisms, including fungi, bacteria, and single celled protozoans, play an active role in decomposing dead plants and animals. Because organic material releases nutrients when it decays, it contributes to soil fertility. Some bacteria also aid soil fertility in the nitrogen cycle. The bulk of organic matter originates from plants.

9. In guinea pigs, rough coat is dominant (R) to smooth coat (r) and black coat (B) is dominant to white coat (b). A rough black
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

the genotype of the parent guinea pigs are as follows:

RrBb (rough, black) and Rrbb (rough, white)

Explanation:

Since the phenotype of smooth coat is present in the offspring, the parent genotype cannot have RR alleles for their coat. Similarly, the rough, black parent cannot have BB alleles in its genotype because that will not yield a white coat color in its offspring.

After making the dihybdrid cross, the probability obtained for each phenotype is given below:

rough black: \frac{3}{8}

rough white: \frac{3}{8}

smooth black: \frac{1}{8}

smooth white: \frac{1}{8}

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

what is the chance that Bernard will have pea plant offspring that match the phenotype he is looking for (green, wrinkled)?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

3/16

Explanation:

Assuming that green, smooth peas are the dominant trait, as long as the gene has a dominant allele for colour or texture of the peas, the peas will be green or smooth respectively.

Hence wrinkled and yellow are the recessive traits. That must have a combination of 2 recessive alleles in the gene to have the recessive trait.

Assuming G is the allele for green and g is the allele coding for yellow peas, and W represents allele for smooth skin and w represents wrinkled skin,

The probability of 2 heterozygote parents (green and smooth) crossing with genotype of GgWw and GgWw to get offspring with Green and wrinkled peas of genotype G_ww (whereby _ represents either G or g), is 3/16 refer to diagram above.
