Among pea plants, we see more peas with smooth pods than with constricted pods. if a plant with constricted pods is mated with a

plant with smooth pods, the offspring have smooth pods. when the offspring mature, and two of them are mated, they have a 25 percent chance of producing offspring with constricted pods. identify the offspring with homozygous alleles for the smooth pod trait.

Answer:

There is only one offspring with homozygous alleles (SS) for the smooth pod trait out of the total four offspring. The frequency of this offspring with homozygous alleles (SS) for the smooth pod trait is

\frac{1}{4} * 100\\25%

Explanation:

First Cross -

Let us assume that the genotype of parents in the first cross is

Smooth pod parent - SS

Constricted pod Parent - ss

Offspring produced after first cross are as shown in the punnet square below -

S S

s Ss Ss

s Ss Ss

All the offsprings are heterozygous (Ss) smooth

Second Cross -

The second cross is being carried between the two offsprings (Ss)

Offspring produced after second cross are as shown in the punnet square below -

S s

S SS Ss

s Ss ss

SS - homozygous smooth pod offsprings

Ss - heterozygous smooth pod offsprings

ss - homozygous constricted pod offsprings

There is only one offspring with homozygous alleles (SS) for the smooth pod trait out of the total four offspring. The frequency of this offspring with homozygous alleles (SS) for the smooth pod trait is

\frac{1}{4} * 100\\25%

OK if we said the the allel for smooth is (S ) and it is dominant and the allel for constricted is (s) and it is recessive , so we started by mating two pure pea plant one smooth and one constricted the offspring would have a genotype of (Ss) and it'S phenotype is smooth, and if that offspring did self pollination it will produce 4 offsprings with genotype as follow: 1 (SS) : 2 (Ss ) : 1 (ss) so there would be 3 smooth and one constricted which will be the last one (ss )

Dear Sarah.

Firstly, I am very happy to know that you have decided to start a study schedule for your literature course in Colonial Latin America, I believe that you will gain great knowledge and that this will be very important for your academic career.

Because of the importance of this study, I decided to analyze your study methods and I fear that they are not efficient and that you will lose time and do not absorb the concepts really necessary for you.

Your study method is based on memorizing concepts and quotes and I believe that you should not rely on it to study, as our memory is relative and often does not last as long as necessary. So I decided to give you advice that I used during my study and that were extremely efficient.

My first advice is that you divide all the material that you have to study in small modules and establish an expert for the study of each one. Don't forget to put a rest time so that you don't get overwhelmed and start taking your readings automatically.

My second advice is that when you study each module, write summaries with the main parts and make mind maps that will be extremely necessary to make revisions.

My last and most important advice is that you make constant reviews and try to conceptualize and reason during this process, this will prevent you from memorizing, but introducing the concepts in your mind in order to understand them and not record them.

I am grateful that you will be successful if you follow these steps and I expect answers from you telling me the results.

Affectionately,

Caroline.

Discuss the importance of a balanced diet.​
Aliun [14]

Answer:

u need a healthy diet cause it gives u the nutrients and energy u need to survive. ur body is more prone to disease n infections if u dont have a balanced diet. immune system weakens if u eat nutrient-poor foods. also here's something i copy-pasted from a random website:

revents diseases and infections. When you eat the full range of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients you improve your immune system and your healthy diet may even help prevent diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

Helps you control your weight. Most people at some point want to lose weight or gain weight – eating a balanced diet helps you control your weight and maintain it over time. It is not feasible to be on a weight-loss diet forever – a balanced diet is the only way to healthily control your weight in the long term.

Improves your mental health. Getting the right mix of nutrients can help to ease symptoms of depression and anxiety – looking after yourself by eating well is essential as you take steps to good mental health.

Good for growth. A balanced diet is crucial for children and adolescents. As the body grows it is important to receive the right nutrients so that cells are built and maintained and the body grows at the right pace.

Better skin and hair. A healthy balanced diet also improves your looks. Eating well contributes to healthy skin and hair and a “glow” that makes you look younger.

this isnt very science-y but i tried to help the best i could so this should give u starting off point. have a great day/night

How can inheritance of traits affect a crop’s ability to survive disease?
julsineya [31]
Less genetic variation in the inheritance of traits causes a crops ability to be more prone to disease because there are less alleles immune to disease in the genetic pool
