Recall that the bullhorn acacia forms a symbiosis with p. Ferruginea ants. A researcher takes an acacia seed and plants it in an

area without p. Ferruginea. What will happen to this acacia plant?

Without P. ferruginea, the plant won't have any defenses against herbivores

Bullhorn acacia trees protect themselves from herbivorous animals by developing a mutualism with the ant- Pseudomyrmex ferruginea (also known as acacia ant). Ants get inhabited on tree, kill insects and stinging the heads of mammals that try to eat acacia. On the other side, acacia has special glands at the base of the  leaves that produce a nectar rich in sugar and amino acids that ants can consume.

You are studying a variety of pea plant that has either red flowers or white flowers. When you cross true-breeding red-flowering
zimovet [89]

Answer:

approximately 200

Explanation:

From the question, we have

probability of red = 0.75

Probability of white = 0.25

We are required to find the probability of 6 red + 2 white plants offspring and after we do we multiply it by 640

We will solve this using the binomial theorem method

(a+b)⁸ = a⁸+8a⁷b+28a⁶b²+56a⁵b³+70a⁴b⁴+56a³b⁵+28a²b⁶+8a¹b⁷+b⁸

The required probability is 28a⁶b²

a = 0.75

b = 0.25

= 28 x 0.75⁶ x 0.25² x 640

= 28 x 0.178 x 0.0625 x 640

= 199.36

Which is approximately 200 crosses would be needed

Scientists used cells called fibroblasts to study factors that cause nondividing cells in the G0 stage of the cell cycle to reen
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

a)

Based on the data for the group of cells, among the four proteins, protein p16 does not appear to play a role in blocking cell cycle entry by fibroblasts. The evidence for this is in group 7, where, in the absence of the other proteins the p16 presence has helped the replication of DNA almost as good as the growth in the 10% serum.

In the other groups (3 to 6) the presence of any other protein has always inhibited the DNA replication compared to the fibroblast in 10% serum.

b)

Groups 4 to 7 have higher chance of including cells undergoing mitosis as they are showing more DNA replication compared to the group 1 which has 0% serum. In this group since it has been cultured for 48 hours in the absence of serum (serum-starvation), they stop dividing and enter the G0 stage of the cell cycle.

c)

The data here would provide the crucial information on which protein is required to induce the cells to enter the cell cycle. To recover from an injury the cells should divide and repair the wound, this will happen through stimulating the cell with the required protein. It would also shed light on which protein would inhibit the cells from entry into the cell cycle.

The volume of a certain gas is 29.3 liters at STP. What would be the volume of the same gas at 1.39 atmospheres and -23.00C? (R=
Andrew [12]

Answer:

19.32L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of the gas at STP = 29.3liters;

      Using this information first, let us find the number of moles of the gas.

                  Number of moles = \frac{volume of gas}{22.4}

With the number of moles, we can further solve this problem;

                 Number of moles  = \frac{29.3}{22.4}   = 1.31 moles

More parameters;

Pressure on gas  = 1.39atm

temperature  = -23°C  = -23 + 273  = 250K

Unknown:

Volume of gas  = ?

Solution:

The ideal gas equation is the perfect fix to solve this problem.

It is mathematically expressed as;

              Pv  = nRT

where P is the pressure

           v is the volume

           R is the gas constant

            n is the number of moles

            T is the temperature

     Input the parameters;

             1.39 x V  = 1.31 x 0.082 x 250

                     V  = 19.32L

Brothers, Patrick and Michael, do not look very much alike. Patrick has green eyes and blond, curly hair like his mother. Michae
umka21 [38]

The correct answer is A. Phenotypes

Explanation:

In genetics, the observable traits of an organism that includes behavior, physical traits, biochemical properties, etc. are known as phenotypes. These traits depend on both the genes of the organism (genotype) and the influence of the environment. Due to this, organisms of the same species with a similar genotype can display different phenotypes. This occurs in the case of Patrick and Michael as their observable traits or phenotype is different despite they are brothers. Thus, the observable characteristics are the phenotypes of an organism.
