An increase in A produces and increase in X

This is a positive feed back mechanism. This mechanism enhance or amplify changes. This tends to alter the balance away from equilibrium because one hormone will increase the release of the other hormone. An example of this is the child birth. During labor, oxytocin is released to increase the uterine contraction the release of oxytoocin will be induced by the contractions of uterus. This will go on until the child was born. Just remember positive feedback enhance the original stimulus.

In a plant called jimsonweed, flowers can be white or purple. A jimsonweed plant with white flowers is crossed with a jimsonweed

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Although statements are not given in the question, we could make the most possible deduction as follows:

The allele for purple flowers is dominant whereas allele for white flowers is recessive.

Explanation:

According to the question,

Purple flower plant was crossed with white flower plant.
All offsprings have purple flowers.

Here we have one possibility that both parents were homozygous but in their own traits. Purple flower plants were "PP" and white flower plants were "pp" So, the first progeny (direct offsprings) would have "Pp". So, as per considerations, purple is dominant allele which will mask the recessive allele thus defining the color of all offsprings as purple. However, further cross of their generation will definitely end up into purple and white flowers (3:1) but this condition is not mentioned in the statement.
