Answer:

C. The offspring are genetically distinct from the parents because they are produced by sexual reproduction.

Explanation:

Producing gametes like egg and sperm is a characteristic feature of organisms who reproduce sexually. Sexual reproduction is much more advantageous than asexual reproduction because in sexual reproduction variations are generated due to a phenomenon known as crossing over. Crossing over is the reason why progeny are not exact replica of their parents and have variations. Variations are very important because if all the members of a particular species are exactly the same then during sudden climate change they all may be wiped -off because they all being exactly the same have same tolerance power. But if members of a population have variations then some of them may have ability to withstand extreme climatic conditions and even if suddenly climate changes or a natural calamity occurs then at least some of the members of that species will survive and will be able to continue their generations.

anygoal [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The aim of the Hershey and Chase experiment was to show that DNA and not proteins are the genetic material.

Proteins are made up of amino acids which also has a nitrogenous base. Since the whole point of the experiment was to differentiate between the two i.e. show which one is the genetic material, it would be impossible to differentiate between DNA and proteins if the nitrogenous base was labelled.

In a cross between two heterozygous tall and purple flowers (TtPp x TtPp), what would the
Goryan [66]

Answer:

9:3:3:1

Explanation:

This question involves two different genes coding for height and flower color respectively. The first gene posseses allele T (dominant) and t (recessive) while the second gene possesses allele P (dominant) and p (recessive).

According to this question, two heterozygous tall and purple flowers are crossed i.e. (TtPp x TtPp). Each parent will produce the following gametes combination:

TtPp - TP, Tp, tP, tp

Using these gametes in a punnet square, the following proportion of offsprings will be produced:

T_P_ (tall, purple) = 9

T_pp (tall, white) = 3

ttP_ (short, purple) = 3

ttpp (short, white) = 1

Hence, the ratio of this cross is 9:3:3:1
