There are chances of 75% solid green coloured rind in watermelons.
Explanation:
Dominant trait = Solid Green rind G
Recessive trait= stripes g
Given that both the parent plants are heterozygous so their alleles will be
Gg Gg
From the Punnet square
G g
G GG Gg
g Gg gg
The phenotype ratio is 3:1 ( 3 watermelons with the green colour rind and 1 with striped rind observed)
Genotype ratio is 1:2:1
From the observation, we can say that 75% of the watermelons will have solid green colour rind because G is dominant over g.
Answer:
Genotype ratio: 1, 1:1, 1:2:1
Phenotype ratio: 1, 3:1
Explanation:
Single gene pair cross is also known as monohybrid cross. This means that only one gene usually with two alleles is observed and it express one trait.
For example, if we name the gene for a certain trait with A, the possible genotypes are AA (dominant homozygous), aa (recessive homozygous) and Aa (heterozygous). Possible crosses are:
P: AA x AA
F1 : all of them are AA
The same is with aa x aa (all of the offspring are with aa genotype)
P: AA x Aa
F1: AA Aa AA Aa (genotype ratio 1:1) (phenotype ratio 3:1)
The same genotype ratio is in aa x Aa (offspring will have aa Aa aa Aa-(genotype ratio 1:1) (phenotype ratio 1:1)
P: Aa x Aa
F1: AA Aa Aa aa (genotype ratio 1:2:1) (phenotype ratio 3:1)
P: AA x aa
F1: Aa Aa Aa Aa (1)
Answer:
Hummingbird
Explanation:
Pollination is the process by which pollen grains are transferred from anther of a flower to stigma. It is a vital process required for reproduction of new plants.
Cardinal flower has two upper petals and three lower spreading petals. All the petals combine to form a tube at the base. Hence the flowers get a tubular shape. Insects can not enter the tubular flower easily so humming birds usually pollinate these flowers. The hummingbirds feeds on its nectar and pollinates the flower in the process.
The correct terms to fill in the blanks are lateral ventricles and venous sinus blood. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is formed by lateral ventricles and reabsorbed through arachnoid granulations into the venous sinus blood. The CSF is a fluid that is clear and colorless found in the spinal cord and in the brain, generally the central nervous system. The CSF functions as a buffer or a shock absorber for the brain. It provides basic mechanical protection for the brain. Also, it helps in the circulation of nutrients and the chemicals that are filtered and aids in the elimination of waste products.
