A pure-breeding short strain of pea produces plants that are 20-26 cm in height. A pure-breeding tall strain of pea produces pla

nts that are 46-55 cm in height. When these pure-breeding strains are crossed, the F1 plants range in height from 32 to 48 cm. Which of the following statements about phenotypic variance in height is true?A) The F1 variance is due only to genetic factors.B) The F1 variance is due only to environmental factors.C) The F1 variance is due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.D) The variance in the tall parental strain is due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

The correct answer is: B) The F1 variance is due only to environmental factors.

According to Mendelian genetics: he crossed two purebred parents with differing traits to be sure that there were no other factors contributing to the outcome of the cross. When two purebred parents are crossed, all of the offspring should be genetically the same (heterozygous).

In the example above, we can see that there is phenotypic variance among the offspring, so we can conclude that it must be due only to environmental factors.

In the process of the nitrogen cycle. <span>                
The nitrogen cycle is a biogeochemical succession process of nitrogen that involves: fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification. Like any other biogeochemical cycles. This process undergoes and affects the biological, geometrical and chemical aspects in the ecosystem and the abiotic and biotic community. Hence, the nitrogen cycle leads the abiotic component –nitrogen- to contribute to the biotic community, decomposition and primal production. Further, it becomes an essential part of the environment because some life components are contains it, similarly, amino acids, nucleic acids in RNA and DNA.  </span><span> </span>

Answer:

Function of each male reproductive system-

They produce, maintain and transport sperm and semen . They discharge sperm into the female reproductive tract. They produce and secrete male sex hormones.

Function of each female reproductive system-

The ovaries produce the egg cells, called the ova or oocytes. The oocytes are then transported to the fallopian tube where fertilization by a sperm may occur.

What are some steps that scientists can take in designing an experiment to avoid false negatives?
Alchen [17]
False negative is a condition when you got a negative result for a specimen which was positive. To prevent false negative occur, first you need to use golden standard test or a test with high specificity. You can do multiple tests to ensure the specimen is negative and using a positive control to make sure the reagent is still working fine.
