The number of ducks in a pond is equal to the square root of the number of fish, and the number of turtles is equal to the cube
brilliants [131]

Answer:

There are 64 fish, 8 ducks and 4 turtles.

Explanation:

From the question, there can be from 2 to 99 fish in the pond. However, there cannot be fractions in the number of fish, ducks or turtles. Hence, the number of fish must have both of a perfect square and perfect cube. The perfect squares from 2 to 99 are 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64 and 81. The perfect cubes from 2 to 99 are 8, 27 and 64. Since only 64 fits both criteria, the number of fish is 64. The number of ducks is the square root of number of fish, which is the square root of 64. The square root of 64 can be either positive 8 or negative 8. However, there cannot be negative numbers, so there are 8 ducks in total. The number of turtles is the cube root of the number of fish, which is the cube root of 64 and it is 4.

Explain the process of cross-pollination.
Anna007 [38]

Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen of different species to stigma of different species of plants.

Cross pollination results in healthy, viable and diverse plants.

Mendel observed that traits could either be dominant or recessive.

Blended traits or incomplete dominance is the condition in which dominant allele could not produce its trait alone instead blending with recessive allele takes place giving new phenotype to progeny.

Explanation:

In cross pollination pollen transfer takes place from anthers to stigma. In Mendelian genetics the anthers of the plant was removed because it has both male and female parts on same plant so that self pollination does not take place.

The importance of cross pollination is that it creates diversity in the plant species since the traits having different alleles are combined to form the progeny plant. The offspring are healthier and high quality seeds are found.

Mendel observed that traits are either dominant or recessive in general.  It was observed that when homozygous parents were crossed, the progeny in F1 generation always had dominant trait. The recessive trait only appeared when F1 generation offspring were self pollinate.

Blended traits or incomplete dominance appear when alleles get blended and exhibit the traits in phenotype. The phenotype appeared will not be matching with either parents.

The example is a white coloured flower is crossed with red colour flower the resultant colour of the flower is pink. It shows that dominant allele red is not completely dominant and gets blended with white colour.

These cells are part of the domains Archaea and Bacteria.
satela [25.4K]
<span>Archaeas and Bacterias are both Prokaryotes. Both used to be classified in Monera kingdom, but later genetists found that they have actually very different genes, despite they both have a similar metabolism. So they think they have a totally different evolutionary origin and they decided to classify them in 2 different domains. The other domain, Eukarya, includes every other organism (all the ones who are not Prokaryots), which are: plants, animals, fungi and protists.</span>
