<u>Answer:</u>

Although statements are not given in the question, we could make the most possible deduction as follows:

The allele for purple flowers is dominant whereas allele for white flowers is recessive.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the question,

  1. Purple flower plant was crossed with white flower plant.
  2. All offsprings have purple flowers.

Here we have one possibility that both parents were homozygous but in their own traits. <u>Purple flower</u> plants were "PP" and white <u>flower plants</u> were "pp" So, the <u>first progeny</u> (direct offsprings) would have "Pp". So, as per considerations, purple is dominant allele which will mask the recessive allele thus defining the color of all offsprings as purple. However, further cross of their generation will definitely end up into purple and white flowers (3:1) but this condition is not mentioned in the statement.

Density is mass per unit of volume. Which pair of lab instruments would a student use to measure the density of seawater?
9966 [12]
<h3>Answer:  C. a balance and a beaker</h3>

Explanation:

A balance would be used to measure the weight, which in turn effectively measures the mass (more or less). Imagine that we have a brick that we know is 1 pound. If we have an object that needs 5 bricks on one side to balance it out, then we know the object is 5 pounds.

The beaker is used to measure the volume. It's basically a measuring cup that you would find in the kitchen.

To get the density, you divide the mass over volume.

For example, if you have a material that has a mass of 100 grams and it's volume is 20 cm^3, then its density is 100/20 = 5 grams per cm^3.

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:Dna template- 5' ACTCCTGAA 3'

3' TGAGGACTT 5' complementary base

Explanation: Dna consist of a double stranded helix structure. Replication occurs to make extra copies of DNA strand. The DNA strand use to make extra copy is the template strand while the mirror image is the complementary base.

Replication occurs in 5' to 3' direction.

For complementary base in DNA Adenine complement thyamine

Cytosine complement Guanine

i.e A-T

C-G

Hence the complementary base in 3'-5' direction is 3' TGAGGACTT 5'
