True or false? A mating between a tetraploid individual and a diploid individual produces biologically fit offspring.

1 answer:

5 0

A cross between a diploid individual and a tetraploid individual produces triploid offspring. There are many species of plants that are triploid, but those come from crosses between two triploid individuals. In those cases, the chromosomes from one parent match up with the chromosomes from the other parent just fine. The same is not true with a cross of a tetraploid and a diploid. In that case, one third of the chromosomes are unmatch, causing many offspring to die, to be sterile, or to be generally unfit. Long story short, the answer you seek is False.

How would you expect the pH of a lake with limestone bedrock to compare to other lakes after several years of acid rain?

NISA [10]

Answer:

The interpretation including its set of circumstances is characterized throughout the explanation segment below.

Explanation:

Lakes that always collect a significant amount of acid rain can also have water with either a pH value very low than 4. (the latter indicates that low pH levels are much more acidic versus significantly higher.)
The world's oceans are covered from ocean acidification by limestone formations, which serves as a barrier to neutralize acid rain.
