Answer:
Given,
Colourless molecule is converted to black pigment by enzyme A. Black pigment is converted to agouti pigment by enzyme B.
Parent 1: AAbb = Black
Parent 2: aaBB = Colourless
AAbb X aaBB = AaBb (F1) The entire progeny is agouti coloured since dominant alleles for both the genes are present.
When AaBb X AaBb according to dihybrid cross in F2 :
A_B_ = 9 ( Agouti )
A_bb = 3 ( Black )
aaB_ = 3 ( Colourless )
aabb = 1 ( Colourless )
Hence genotypic ratio is 9 : 3 : 3 : 1
and phenotypic ratio is 9 (agouti) : 3 (black) : 4 (colourless)
Answer:
A). Hypoxia.
Explanation:
Hypoxia is characterized as the condition in which tissues are deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen. As per this definition, hypoxia would be the process that is most likely to occur in the plant's leaves when it is revealed to a minimum level of 1 or 2% of oxygen. The lack of oxygen in such states reaches the tissues. One of the advanced stages of this process is 'anoxia; where there is a complete absence of 'oxygen' that enhances the ecological stress. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
