<h2>Maternal effect</h2>
Explanation:
In maternal effect the phenotype of the progeny is decided by the genotype of the mother
- The female partner is one step ahead to her male partner
- The ovum transcribes some of its nuclear genes prior to fertilization and these genes are responsible for the development of embryo that is why these genes are called maternal effect genes
- This effect is observed in Drosophila
In the given question both male and female have brown eyes with Nn genotype,phenotype of the offspring will be decided by the genotype of mother(Nn) hence despite of having recessive genotype(nn) all the offsprings will show brown eyes
Answer:
<em>The correct options are B and C</em>
Explanation:
Option A is false because bacteria fix nitrogen by converting it into ammonia. The ammonia is used by the plants for different functions like development etc.
Option B is correct because plants can take up both ammonium ions and nitrate ions from the soil. They use these ions to make amino acids which are required by the plant for different activities.
Option C is correct because nitrifying bacteria are the bacteria which convert ammonia into nitrites and then nitrates in a process which is termed as nitrification.
Option D is false because herbivores eat plants to make amino acids and proteins.
It’s with c or d because respiration and photosynthesis wouldn’t follow metabolic pathways in a correct order.
