Biology

IgorC [24]3 years ago

Water can act as either a base or an acid. Water acts as an acid by donating a hydrogen ion when it reacts with a stronger base such as sodium hydroxide. Water may also act as a base when it accepts hydrogen ion when reacting with a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid. This is based on Bronsted concept and definition of a base ( proton acceptor) and acid (proton donor). Such a  compound that can act as a base and as an acid is called an amphiprotic molecule.

If you wanted to be certain that a trait would appear in the offspring of the plants or animals that you were breeding, what wou
katrin2010 [14]
What genes each parent had for that trait. 

Example: In peas, the trait for green peas is dominant (G) and the trait for yellow peas (g) is recessive. If you want the offspring to definitely be yellow, then both parents have to be yellow, with the allele frequency of gg. If both parents were carriers of the yellow gene, but were green (Gg), then there is a 25% chance of having yellow offspring, the rest being green. If one parent is a carrier (Gg) and the other is yellow (gg), then there is a 50% chance of having either yellow or green offspring. If one parent is homozygous (two alleles of the same gene) dominant, then no matter who that parent is paired with, then the offspring will definitely be green.

Why is photosynthesis so important in the Carbon Cycle?
maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is going to transform H2O and CO2 into O2, and C6H12O6

The carbon from the carbon dioxide will become organic matter in the form of glucose (food) which will be taken in by animals that eat it. When the animal breaks down the glucose the CO2 is then released back to the atmosphere via cellular respiration
