Answer:
Because they can only reproduce in a living cell
Explanation:
Virus is an organism that is incapable of replicating on its own without a living host. A virus infects a living host and makes use of Its replicational ability to produce new virions. A virus consists of a genetic material surrounded by a Protein called CAPSID. It does not possess the characteristics of other living organisms.
This means that it does not carry out any of the features a living cell undergoes e.g reproduction, respiration etc. Due to this reason, it is not classified as a living thing. They don't possess organnelles that carry out this peculiar functions.
A virus is considered a peculiar microorganism because it can only live and reproduce in a living host cell.
The animal it gave birth to
Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the past. Fossils are important evidence for evolution because they show that life on earth was once different from life found on earth today.
Answer: The probability of producing offspring with genotype Rr is 100%.
Explanation-
Round seed is a dominant trait ( depicted by dominant R allele) whereas wrinkled seed is a recessive trait ( depicted by recessive allele r).
According to the law of segregation of genes, the alleles will separate from one another during gamete formation.
Pea plant with round seeds will produce two gametes that is R and R whereas plant with wrinkled seeds will produce r and r gametes.
When the parents are crossed, they will result in the offspring with genotype Rr ( that will exhibit round seed phenotype).
Refer punnett square.
