Answer:

Option 1, 0

Explanation:

Complete question

Flower color in the varieties of pea plants studied by Mendel is controlled by alleles at a single locus. A group of peas homozygous for purple flowers is grown in a garden. All flowers are purple, yet there is some variation in the intensity of the purple color. The estimated heritability for this observed variation in flower color would be

  1. 0.
  2. 0.5.
  3. 0.75.
  4. 1.
  5. Cannot be determined without additional information

Solution

Given all the pea plants in the garden are homozygous purple (PP)

If we cross two PP parents, the following offspring will be produces

PP * PP

PP, PP, PP, PP

This means that all offspring are also homozygous purple.

Thus, chances of inheriting variation in the purple color of offspring are negligible. However, the variation in their color can be due to their individual interaction with the variable factors in the environment

Hence, option 1, 0 is correct

sergey [27]

Answer:

d. Hemoglobin helps maintain a constant pH in the blood by binding with H⁺ions released from bicarbonate ions.

Explanation:

The presence (CO₂) in in the erythrocytes lowers its pH as a result the affinity of hemoglobin decreases for oxygen. The carbon dioxide (CO₂) reacts with water to form carbonic acid in the presence of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase which is present in the erythrocytes or red blood cells. The carbonic acid then changes into two ions hydrogen ion (H⁺) and bicarbonate ion (HCO₃⁻).  As a result of H⁺ ions, the pH of blood drops. Haemoglobin pick up hydrogen ions to balance the decrease in pH. Thus, haemoglobin helps in maintaining constant pH or keep pH of blood in buffer.

In the pedigree that is shown, which represents Irene's allele combination?
Greeley [361]

The red-green color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait. The females are not affected unless both the X chromosomes have the affected allele. Mostly, the females are the carriers, and the males are affected as they have only one X chromosome. In the given pedigree, the father of Irene have the normal allele, while her mother is a carrier. However, Irene is neither a carrier nor affected. This means that she carries normal alleles on both X chromosomes. Hence, her allele combination is X^{H} X^{H} .

Ganezh [65]
External respiration (correct answer) involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the environment.

The exchange of wastes through the skin is just called excretion by sweating. 

There is no exchange of nutrients that occur in the lungs but rather absorption of nutrients is the function of the gastrointestinal tract.

The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the cell is called cellular respiration and involves carrying oxygen from the blood to the cell then the cell uses it as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. The metabolic wastes of the cell, primarily carbon dioxide, goes now to the bloodstream to be exchanged for oxygen in the lungs.
