Answer:

c. 0.026

Explanation:

Suppose the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. According to it,

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where p= frequency of dominant allele

q = frequency of recessive allele

p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

q² = frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

Here, q = w = 0.84

p = W = 1 -w = 1- 0.84= 0.16

W² = 0.16 * 0.16 = 0.0256 = 0.026

Hence, frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype = 0.026

The color that the new generation's offspring show will be red, pink, and white.

The young creation of living things is called an offspring, which can be created by a single organism or, in the event of sexual reproduction, by two organisms. A group of offspring is sometimes referred to as a brood or progeny in a more generic sense.

All of the pink-flowered progeny are produced when a red-flowered plant and a white-flowered plant are crossed. This cross serves as an example of the incomplete dominance of red and white. The mixing of both alleles results in this circumstance. Gene interaction known as incomplete dominance occurs when only one of two alleles of a gene at a locus is fully expressed, frequently leading to an intermediate or distinct phenotype. Additionally called partial dominance.

 

CRCW × CRCW = CRCR, CRCW, CWCW i.e, red, pink, and white.

The complete question is:

A red carnation is crossed with a white carnation: Neither one is 3 Fonts dominate over the other: This means that when crossed, their offspring can show pink flower The parent generation genotypes are: CR CR and CW CW (RED x WHITE) An offspring showing pink flowers (CR CW) from the parent generation is now being bred with another pink flower (CR CW) What color will this new generation's offspring show?

Explain the phenomenon of photorespiration, including why it is thought to occur (evolutionarily speaking), and why plants have
liubo4ka [24]

Photorespiration limits casualty products of light reactions that build up in the absence of the Calvin cycle. In many plants, photorespiration is a problem because on a hot, dry day it can drain as much as 50% of the carbon fixed by the Calvin cycle.  The closing of stomata reduces access to CO2 and causes O2 to build up. These conditions favor a seemingly not useful process called photorespiration.  In most plants (C3 plants), initial fixation of CO2, via rubisco, forms a three-carbon compound.  In photorespiration, rubisco adds O2 instead of CO2 in the Calvin cycle. Photorespiration eats up O2 and organic fuel and releases CO2 without producing ATP or sugar. Photorespiration can evolve relic because rubisco first evolved at a time when the atmosphere had far less O2 and more CO2.
