Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If two

heterozygous individuals with polka-dot tails mate, what's the probability of the phenotype and genotype combinations of the offspring? A. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail (75 percent Pp; 25 percent pp) B. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail (25 percent PP; 50 percent Pp; 25 percent pp) C. 25 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 75 percent chance of a solid colored tail (25 percent PP; 50 percent Pp; 25 percent pp) D. 50 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 50 percent chance of a solid colored tail (50 percent PP; 50 percent pp)

The correct answer is B. The parents are heterozygous with polka-dot tails, so they both have Pp genotype. The combination of their genotypes (Pp x Pp) could produce 4 genotypes PP, Pp, Pp and pp. Therefore, there is 25% chance for a PP genotype, 25% for a pp genotype and 50% for a Pp genotype. The PP and Pp genotypes produce a polka-dot tail phenotype and the pp genotype produces a solid coloured tail phenotype. In conclusion, there is 75% chance for a polka-dot tail (25% for a PP + 50% for a Pp) and a 25% for a solid coloured tail phenotype (25% for a pp).

What cell organelle makes turgor pressure in a plant cell possible? Describe the role of this organelle in this process.
Brut [27]

Answer:

Explanation: The cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane of plant cells and provides tensile strength and protection against mechanical and osmotic stress. It also allows cells to develop turgor pressure, which is the pressure of the cell contents against the cell wall.
