Flower position, stem length, and seed shape are three characters that Mendel studied. Each is controlled by an independently as

sorted gene and has a simple dominant recessive relationship as follows: axial A / terminal a round R / wrinkled r tall T / dwarf t If a plant that is heterozygous for all three characters is allowed to self-fertilize, what is the probability that the offspring would be homozygous dominant for all three traits? Hint: Use the rules of probability rather than making a huge punnet square.

Answer:

1/64

Explanation:

<em>The probability of the offspring being homozygous dominant for the three alleles is 1/64.</em>

Since the three characters assort independently, the probability of the offspring being homozygous dominant for all the three traits is an independent event.

For independent events, the probability of all the events happening together is the multiplication of individual event's probability.

For a cross involving two heterozygotes, taking tall/dwarf for example:

Tt   x   Tt = TT, 2Tt, tt

The probability of obtaining a homozygous dominant genotype is 1/4.

Hence, the probability of the offspring being homozygous dominant for the three alleles will be:

1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/64

How much energy is at the producer level?
Tems11 [23]

Explanation:

In a food chain, only 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to another trophic level. If the energy produced at the producer level is 1000 J, then the energy available at the primary consumer level will be 100 J and energy available at the secondary consumer level will be 10 J.

Which organism created all usable food energy on Earth​
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The Sun

Explanation:

The Sun is the major source of energy for organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers, such as plants and algae, use energy from sunlight to make food energy by combining carbon dioxide and water to form organic matter. This process begins the flow of energy through almost all food webs.

What effect does malnutrition during critical times of development in pregnancy have on the fetus?
Naya [18.7K]
The effect that malnutrition have on the fetus during critical development in pregnancy is that the impairment  of the development of an organ is irreversible. Maternal malnutrition can adversely affect the division and replication of cells in the embryo at this stage, impairing its development. The effects of malnutrition during critical periods of pregnancy are seen in defects of the nervous system of the embryo, poor dental health among other effects.
