A root structure that protects buds from fire helps short-leaf pines resist fires

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Short leaf pine plant in the struggle for existence under hot scorching fire has developed a root structure that protects the buds from fire. This type of pine is called a fire resistant plant as it survives in the canopy of other trees.

Frequent burns have made them resistant to this fire. This is a wonderful example of how some plants survive in this extreme condition where it has to undergo frequent burns.They can also adopt and survive in drought conditions.

F1 generation: RrUu, rrUU, rrUu, RrUU

25% : 25%: 25%: 25%

Ratios

genotype: 1: 1: 1: 1 ...(from punnet square)
phenotype: 1 : 1

Explanation:

Punnett squares are a diagrammatic way of deciding the characteristics of hybrid offspring created by crosses in genetic breeding. Parental genotypes and phenotypes are widely recognized, and all usually obey normal Mendelian ratios and inheritance.

Mendelian genetics focuses on the origin or heritability of characteristics. Such traits are packed into one's own gamete, acquired by themselves, and sometimes display superiority, where one's impact can mask those of another trait.

These are called the Law of Segregation, Independent assortment and Dominance respectively.

For this cross... Assuming:

Unattached lobes= dominant

Rolling tongue= dominant
Parent generation or P generation:

Gametes:

R → rolling dominant (R), non-rolling recessive (r)

U → unattached dominant (U), attached recessive (u)

P generation: RUrU× rUru

rolling, unattached × non-rolling, unattached

F1 generation: RrUu, rrUU, rrUu, RrUU

25% : 25%: 25%: 25%

Ratios

genotype: 1: 1: 1: 1 ...(from punnet square)
phenotype: 1 : 1

Half the offspring have unattached lobes and can roll their tongues while the other half have unattached lobes and cannot roll their tongues...

Each punnet cross is attached below

How are signals sent from one neuron to another by jumping across a tiny space or?

Irina-Kira [14]

Transmitted via neurotransmitters. There is a gap between two neurons. This place where the axon meets with dendrite is callde synapse. Neurotransmitters which are chemicals help transmit the signals from axon to dentrite. Calcium ions play major role in this process.
