Answer:

Phenotypic ratio = 1 Red : 1 Pink

Explanation:

This phenomenon exhited by the gene coding for flower colour in four o'clock plants is called INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE i.e. the red flower allele (R) is not completely dominant over the white flower allele (r), hence, a third intermediate pink phenotype (Rr) is formed in an heterozygous state. The red and white flowers will only be expressed in a RR and rr genotypes respectively.

In a cross between a red-flowered 4 o'clock plant (RR) and a pink-flowered 4 o'clock plant (Rr), the gametes:

R and R will be produced by the red-flowered plant while gamete R and r will be produced by the pink-flowered plant. Using this gamete in a punnet square, one will have four possible offsprings in which two will be phenotypically red-flowered (RR) and two phenotypically pink-flowered (Rr). i.e. 2RR:2Rr

Hence, the phenotypic ratio is 1:1 Red to Pink flower

The idea that males and females of approximately equal physical attractiveness are likely to select each other as partners refer
VladimirAG [237]
The idea that males and females of approximately equal physical attractiveness are likely to select each other as partners refers to the Matching hypothesis. 
In the field of social psychology, the idea that people are more likely to form successful relationships with and express liking for people whole level of physical attractiveness roughly equals their own. 
A good example is. A man of average attractiveness goes on one date with an extremely attractive person, and then another with an average-looking person. He finds he likes the average-looking date more.

What is the biological significance of the temperature at which the amylase
kati45 [8]

Answer & explanation:

Amylase is part of enzymes, a group of large peptide molecules (formed by amino acids) whose role is to catalyze reactions in order to facilitate the synthesis of other biological molecules.

Amylase is found mainly in saliva (in the form of salivary amylase, or ptialin), acting in the breakdown of starch and glycogen in foods, reducing them to smaller particles, facilitating their digestion and absorption.

The action of enzymes depends on certain specific conditions, called optimal conditions. In the case of <u>amylase</u>, it depends on an optimum pH of 7 (neutral) and an optimum temperature of approximately 37 ° C.

This enzyme can still act between 35 ° C and 40 ° C, but below 35 ° C it is inactivated, preventing its functions from being performed, and above 40 ° C it suffers denaturation, causing changes in its structures.

Thus, it is concluded that the <u>temperature</u> (under optimal conditions) is important for enzymes because it keeps their actions and structures in proper operation.
