if one homozgous short plant is crossed with a heterozgous tall plant, what percentage of the offspring will be short

Is a compound is a pure substance? * I"m just wondering,

bija089 [108]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Compounds: are pure substances that are made up of more than l type of atom and can be broken down or decomposed into its individual elements by chemical methods, but cannot be separated by physical methods. The ratio of the elements in a compound are always constant. (Water is always 11 % Hydrogen and 89 % oxygen).

Plants maintain higher levels of phytochrome at their growing tips where phytochrome plays important roles in growth responses t

Naddika [18.5K]

Explanation:

Phytochrome is a protein with kinase activity present in plant organisms, whose function is to act as a photoreceptor mainly of red light (600-700nm) and distant red light (700-800nm), thanks to its chromophore. The phytochrome depending on the type of light detected can trigger different responses in the plant, such as flowering, germination, growth as an escape response to the shadow -development of epicotyls at night and cotyledons during the day-, regulation of expression of metabolic activity during day and night (circadian rhythms).

Phytochromes were discovered in the fifties as part of an investigation on the effect of light on the germination of lettuce seeds. It was observed that the seeds that germinated in the dark did not reach 20%; On the contrary, the germination percentage was maximum when the seeds were irradiated with a pulse of red light (R). It was also found that subsequent irradiation with a pulse of distant red light (RL) nullified the inducing effect of red light, preventing germination.

Alternating irradiation with light R and RL (R, R + RL, R + RL + R, R + RL + R + RL, etc.) showed that the last color applied determined the germination of the seeds and that the light red was the stimulating factor of the process and, its inhibitor, the distant red light.

In search of an explanation of such phenomena, the existence of a pigment was proposed, which they called phytochrome, which absorbed the red light. The phytochrome in question, after absorbing red light, became a way capable of absorbing distant red radiation; form that turned to its initial condition after performing said absorption. The hypothesis found experimental support in the early sixties with the purification, from extracts of cereal seedlings, of a protein endowed with the predicted characteristics. Phytochromes are soluble proteins found in the seeds, leaves, stems, roots and other organs of the plant.

Biochemically, phytochrome is a protein with a Bilin chromophore.

Name three desirable traits that are being transferred into genetically engineered food crops how might these traits helped incr

____ [38]

The first desirable trait that is being engineered into our crops is sustainability. This means that crops are being bred to be able to grow in adverse conditions, ensuring the ability to sustain our food supply as humans. The second, are the alterations being genetically done to crops to eliminate the need for pesticides. By heightening the crops natural ability to eliminate and deter pests, there are higher yields and the elimination of pesticides seeping into and poisoning the human consumer. And, finally an ability to eliminate the need for traditional breeding in crops. By genetically replicating plants, we are eliminating the chance that the human race may "run out", of seeds, of starts, of the need for pollination. This basically ensures us an unlimited food supply, just in these three traits being bred into our crops.

Answer:

Objective(s):

In your own words, what was the purpose of this lab?

In this lab report, the purpose is that hamsters carry traits fro parents.

Hypothesis:

In this section, please include the if/then statements you developed during your lab activity. These statements reflect your predicted outcomes for the experiment.

Test One: If I breed a short fur, FF female with a short fur, Ff male, then I will expect to see (all short fur; some short and some long fur; all long fur) offspring.

All short fur

Test Two: If I breed a short fur, Ff female with a short fur, Ff male, then I will expect to see (all short fur; some short and some long fur; all long fur) offspring.

Some short and some long

Test Three: If I breed a long fur, ff female with a long fur, ff male, then I will expect to see (all short fur; some short and some long fur; all long fur) offspring.

All long fur
