The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Question: A gene for corn has two alleles, one for yellow kernels and one for white kernels. Cross pollination of yellow corn and white corn results in ears of corn that have an approximately even mix of yellow and white kernels. Which term best describes the relationship between the two alleles?

a) Incomplete dominance

b) Genetic recombination

c) Chimerism

d) Codominance

Answer:

d) codominance

Explanation:

Codominance is a pattern of inheritance when none of the alleles of a gene is able to mask the expression of the other allele of the same gene. When the two alleles are present together in a heterozygous genotype, both are expressed and the phenotype of the heterozygote is different from both the pure breeding parents. In the given example, cross-pollination of yellow corn and white corn results in the ears of corn that have an approximately even mix of yellow and white kernels. This means that the heterozygote expresses both the allele for the corn color. Therefore, it represents codominance.

¿Que dos moléculas necesitan las plantas para la fotosíntesis?
viktelen [127]
Para realizar la fotosíntesis las plantas necesitan varios elementos que se encuentran en el medio ambiente.

Energía luminosa: impacta sobre las hojas y es absorbida por el pigmento fotosensible de la planta, la clorofila.
Agua: La fotosíntesis requiere un suministro constante de agua. Ésta llega a las hojas a través de las raíces y tallos.
Clorofila: Pigmento de color verde contenido en el cloroplasto. Se encarga de la absorción de la luz, para llevar a cabo la fotosíntesis.
Dióxido de carbono: Es absorbido por unos minúsculos poros, llamados estomas, en la parte inferior de la hoja.
Oxígeno: subproducto de la fotosíntesis. Sale de las hojas hacia el exterior a través de lasestomas.

Bingel [31]

its been a while since I've done punnett squares, but I'm pretty sure these are right:

  1. 2 because two have a dominant curly gene
  2. 2 because two are double recessive
  3. 0 because none have double dominant
  4. 2 because two have a double recessive

BTW I didnt check if you're punnett squares were right so the above is assuming they are
