Pollen is essentially a male plant germ cell .

Like all germ cells it is produced in the process of meiosis. In this process, the diploid cells (cells that have two sets of chromosomes) divide into two haploid cells (cells that have one set of chromosomes).

In our example, the diploid mother cell has a SS Tt genotype. This essentially means that the cell has two alleles of the same gene on a different chromosome in the chromosome pair.

When the cell divides, it can give only one allele to the haploid cell.

For the S gene, this cell has two identical dominant alleles( SS genotype), therefore, it can only give the dominant allele to the haploid cell.

As for the T gene, this cell has two different alleles, one dominant and one recessive (Tt genotype) and therefore can give either the dominant (T) or the recessive (t) allele to the haploid germ cell (the pollen).

So, the possible genetic combinations are

ST if the dominant T allele is passed

St if the recessive t allele is passed

Rose quartz is pink and smoky quartz is gray. Which of the following statements is true?
meriva

The best way to identify a mineral is the color of the mineral. The color of the minerals with different impurities is different. The pink color of the rose quartz and the gray color of the smoky quartz indicates that they contain different impurities. The impurities are the main factor behind the color of any mineral.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Color is the best way to identify a mineral'.
