Answer:

A. 1/16

Explanation:

If we break the dihybrid cross of AaBb X AaBb into individual monohybrid crosses:

Aa X Aa :

     A    a

A  AA Aa

a  Aa   aa

1/4 of the progeny will be homozygous for dominant allele (AA)

Similarly, in cross Bb X Bb 1/4 of the progeny will be homozygous for dominant allele (BB)

Hence, in cross AaBb X AaBb:

1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16 will be homozygous for both the dominant alleles.

Specialized structures that allow mangroves to get oxygen in soil that is usually anaerobic are called (2 points)
saul85 [17]


The best answer is pneumatophores.

In the environment where mangroves grow, oxygen is very limited. This necessitates mangrove root system to take up oxygen from the atmosphere. For this purpose, mangrove species have specialized above ground roots called pneumatophores or breathing roots.

In some species, these roots are pencil sized and peg-like while in others they look like a knee. These roots have numerous pores through which oxygen enters into the underground tissues. In some plants,  buttress roots function as breathing roots and also provide mechanical support.

In a DNA double helix an adenine of one strand always pairs with a(n) _____ of the complementary strand, and a guanine of one st
notka56 [123]

Answer:

adenine pairs with Thymine  and guanine always pairs with cytosine respectively

Explanation:

In DNA nucleotide subunits, there are four nitrogenous bases:

  •    Adenine (A)
  •    Thymine (T)
  •    Cytosine (C)
  •    Guanine (G)

Each of these bases can be divided into two categories: purine bases and pyrimidine bases.

Adenine and guanine are examples of purine bases. This means their structure is a nitrogen-containing six atom ring joined with a nitrogen-containing five atom ring that share two atoms to combine the two rings.

Thymine and cytosine are examples of pyrimidine bases.

Note that  RNA replaces thymine with a different pyrimidine base called uracil (U).

The complementary base pairing rule, Chargaff's rule states that DNA base pairs are always adenine with thymine (A-T) and cytosine with guanine (C-G). A purine always pairs with a pyrimidine and vice versa. However, A doesn't pair with C, despite that being a purine and a pyrimidine.
