Alleles are letters that represent dominant and recessive traits.

A capital letter represents a dominant trait
A lowercase letter represents a recessive trait.

Dominant traits over shadow the recessive ones. This is known as complete dominance.

Referring to your questions let's us the alleles HH, Hh, and hh for the height of the pea plants.

But what do those letters mean?

HH = homozygous dominant (Tall)
Homo means same.

hh = homozygous recessive (Short)

Now this is different: here's Hh.
There's a capital AND lowercase letter.
This means that the plant carries the gene for tall and short plants, and can pass on either trait to the offspring.

BUT the dominant always over shadows the recessive. So Hh is a tall plant.

Hh = heterozygous (hybrid) (Tall)
You can interpret hetero meaning different.

Now I hope you're with me!

For question two it asks if a short plant can ever be a hybrid.
Referring to what I just said, that answer would be no.
Because there is no dominant trait to over shadow the recessive.

And short plants have the hh alleles, and they are homozygous NOT heterozygous (hybrid).

I hope this helps, and makes sense! If you have any questions please let me know. Genetics can be confusing.

Being Tall is a Dominant trait, even if the alleles are Tt (heterozygous), the pea plant would be tall. But if the alleles are tt (homozygous recessive) the pea plant would be short. TT would mean homozygous dominant are result in a pure tall pea plant.

lord [1]

Answer:

Plus end and kinesin.

Explanation:

Three important cytoskeleton components are microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments. Microtubules are the polymer of tubulin and plays an important role in the movement of cell organelles and its structure.

Microtubules shows the process of polymerization and depolymerization at different ends. The plus end shows the polymerization and minus end shows the depolymerization process. The kinesin protein is required for the process of polymerization.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

if a prey evolves to increase its defenses, its predator often evolves to counteract this change. a. True b. False

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Coevolution is a biological process where pairs of species or among groups of species reciprocally affect each other's evolution through natural selection. This process produces genetic changes in the traits of interacting species that are a consequence of reciprocal adaptation between these interacting taxa. Coevolution occurs when species are ecologically intimate (i.e., they interact with one another), such as the interaction between hosts and parasites or predators and prey.

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

D. Changes in the environment changed each morph's ability to evade predation in different ways.

Explanation:

The moth species<em> Biston betularia</em> has two color morphs, or variants. One has a speckled white and black color, while the other is all black. Over the period of time, the distribution of moths dramatically changed between 1900 and 1950 in such a way that black morph became dominant but speckled morphs became very much declined in abundance. The reasons behind this change was heavy industrial pollution in UK between 1900 and 1950.

When the environment became very polluted, dark and blackish, the speckled moth had more chanced of getting eaten by predators thats why they declined in number as compared to black morphs. On the other hand, backgrounds of grime and soot made black morphs less visible to the predators and they survived well. This is an excellent example of natural selection that only those specie better survive that have the ability to cope better with adverse environmental fluctuations.

Therefore, option D is best option.

Hope it help!
