The answer is <span>Conduct a test cross with a purebred recessive plant.
</span>
Test cross is the cross between an organism with unknown dominant genotype and an organism with known recessive genotype.
<span>Since dominant trait results from a dominant allele, the test cross can determine if an unknown genotype is heterozygous and homozygous dominant. </span>
If A is dominant allele, and a is recessive allele, then AA is dominant homozygote, Aa is a heterozygote, and aa is recessive homozygote.
<span>According to the Punnett square, if all of the offspring are heterozygote (Aa), then unknown genotype is dominant homozygous (AA). If half of the offspring are the heterozygote, and the other half are recessive homozygote, then the unknown genotype is heterozygote (Aa).</span>
e. There are haploid, diploid, and triploid cells.
Just like the bacteria, the archaea have evolved a diverse array of metabolic pathways. As extremophiles, their metabolism shows many adaptations to the extreme environments of their habitat. There are facultative and obligate anaerobes and aerobic organisms in this kingdom.
Answer:
A. Average plant height increases with an increase in the concentration of sodium phosphate until the plants reach a maximum possible height.
Explanation:
The graph in the attachment section portrays the average height of plants (cm) on the y-axis plotted against the concentration of sodium phoshate (mg/L) on the x-axis. Based on the observation of the result in the graph, an increase in the concentration of phosphate caused an increase in the average plant height (as depicted by the upward-sloping line).
However, the plant's average height didn't go beyond 35cm despite an increase in concentration of phosphate. This is because the plants has reached a maximum possible height i.e. a height climax. Hence, they cannot grow taller than 35cm no matter the amount of external nutrients (sodium phosphate) supplied.
Therefore, the noticeable trend that can be used to make a conclusion is that average plant height increases with an increase in the concentration of sodium phosphate until the plants reach a maximum possible height.
