A zoology student is investigating whether it is true that the gender of turtles depends on the temperature at which the turtle

eggs are kept before they hatch. He will test if turtle eggs incubated at 29–30 degrees Celsius produce females, and eggs at 24–26 degrees Celsius produce males. What is the independent variable? time gender species temperature

the temperature is the independent variable

The temperature is the independent variable. The independent variable is the variable that the researcher can control. And the dependent variable will change because of the change of independent variable. In this question, the student controls the temperature(independent variable) to see wether the gender(dependent variable) will change due to the temperature.

All living cells need energy to function in order for the chemical reactions occurring in the cells to take place. In humans this energy is obtained by breaking down organic molecules such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

Can you define these words?? Thanks!
padilas [110]

Answer:

<u>Cellulose</u> - It is described as a complex carbohydrate that forms the main constituent of the cell wall in most plants and is important in the manufacture of numerous products like pharmaceuticals, textiles, etc.

<u>Chlorophyll</u> - Any of a group of green pigments that are found in the chloroplasts of plants and in other photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria.

<u>Chloroplast</u> - An organelle found in the cells of green plants and in photosynthetic algae, where photosynthesis takes place.  

<u>Bryophyte</u> - Any plant of the division Bryophyta, defined "sensu lato" to comprise the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, and corresponding to all embryophytes that are not vascular plants.

<u>Pterophyte</u> - It is characterized as any fern(seedless plant) that is a division of Pteridophyta.

<u>Gymnosperm</u> - Any plant such as a conifer whose seeds are not enclosed in an ovary or those who don't bear seeds or fruits. Example; Cycads.

<u>Cone</u> - A cone-shaped flower head of various plants like banksias and proteas.

<u>Angiosperm</u> - Any flowering plant characterized by having ovules enclosed in an ovary and thus, produces fruits, as well as, seeds.

<u>Flower</u> - A reproductive structure in angiosperms and often conspicuously colorful and typically including sepals, petals, and either or both stamens and/or a pistil.

<u>Cuticle</u> - A noncellular protective covering outside the many invertebrates and plants.

<u>Vascular tissue</u> - The complex tissues that consist of various cell types and primarily responsible for transporting liquid and other nutrients throughout the plant or animal body.

<u>Xylem</u> - A vascular tissue in the land plants primarily responsible for the distribution of water and minerals that are taken up by the roots and also the key component of the wood.

<u>Phloem</u> - A vascular tissue in land plants primarily responsible for the distribution of sugars and the nutrients manufactured in the shoot.

<u>Roots</u> - The part of the plant which is generally underground that anchors and supports the plant body. It absorbs and stores water and nutrients, and in some plants is able to perform vegetative propagation.

<u>Root hairs</u> - The rhizoid of a vascular plant or a tabular outgrowth of a trichoblast, hair-forming cell on the epidermis of a plant root.

<u>Stems</u> - The above-ground stalk of a vascular plant that supports individual parts of a plant like leaves, flower, fruits, etc.

<u>Leaves</u> - The green and flat organ that represents the most prominent feature of the most vegetative plants.

<u>Photosynthesis</u> - The process by which plants and other photoautotrophs convert light energy into chemical energy. For example; Plants use air, water, along with sunlight to synthesize their food(carbohydrates and waste oxygen).

Mendel accounted for the observation that traits that had disappeared in the f1 generation reappeared in the f2 generation by pr
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Option C,  traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were obscured by the dominant ones in the F1.

Explanation:

Complete question-

Mendel accounted for the observation that traits which had disappeared in the F1 generation reappeared in the F2 generation by proposing that

Select one:

a. new mutations were frequently generated in the F2 progeny, "reinventing" traits that had been lost in the F1.

b. the mechanism controlling the appearance of traits was different between the F1 and the F2 plants.

c. traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were obscured by the dominant ones in the F1.

d. the traits were lost in the F1 due to dominance of the parental traits.

e. members of the F1 generation had only one allele for each trait, but members of the F2 had two alleles for each trait.

Solution -

In the Mendel’s experiment, some traits which were absent in the F1 generation appeared in the second generation cross. By this he concluded, that the traits exressed in the F1 generation were dominant and hence they capped the expression of traits associated witl recessive allele. He classified the traits in F2 generation as recessive, because these traits can occur only when they are in pair i.e they form individuals with homozygous recessive genotype.  

For instance – If “R” is allele for dominant red color trait and “r” is the allele for recessive white color trait, then the cross between true breeding red flowers and white flowers will produce following offspring  

RR * rr

Rr, Rr, Rr, Rr

Thus, in F1 generation all the offspring are heterozygous red

F2 generation-  

Rr * Rr

RR, Rr, Rr, rr

The recessive trait of white colored flower reappears in second generation.

Hence, option C is correct
