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

Distinguish between compact and spongy bone based on appearance, location, and function.
Fynjy0 [20]

1.The Punnett square above shows a cross between two sweet pea plants in Mendel's
jenyasd209 [6]
1) 75% purple flowered and 25% white flowered. If you complete the punnett square, you'll see the combinations are PP, Pp, Pp, and pp. The capital P is dominant (purple), so you know that 3/4 combinations will be purple flowers.

2) 50%. There is a 50% chance Grace will have Huntington's disease because since the disease is dominant, it is capital letter H. When you make a punnett square, you'll see the combinations are Hh, Hh, hh, and hh. There is a 50% chance Grace will have the Hh combination.

3) Protein. Protein is the only bio-molecule out of the 4 options, and the diagram shows a protein being made.

4) Transcription. Transcription is when the genetic message from DNA is transcripted onto mRNA.

The science of the classification of organisms is _____.
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Taxonomy.

Explanation:

Taxonomy may be defined as the field of biology that mainly deals with the arrangement of the organism. Carolus Linnaeus is popularly known as the father of taxonomy.

Taxonomy includes the classification of the organism and its arrangement in different taxa. The identification, nomenclature and classification of organism is involved in taxonomy. Organisms are classified on the basis of the similarities and differences among them.

Thus, the answer is taxonomy.

In normal cells, glucose is broken down aerobically and fed into the citric acid cycle to produce, among other things, lots of A
Zielflug [23.3K]

Explanation:

Its was discovered back in the 1920s, by Dr. Ralph DeBerardinis and Dr. Joshua Rabinowitz that cancer cells prefer not to rely on the citric acid cycle like healthy cells do. Instead, they turn most of their pyruvate (SALT) into lactate, which then releases. Because cancer cells consume so much glucose, they end up producing a lot of lactate.
