Answer:

c. Aa Bb

Explanation:

The parents were pure breeding with genotypes AAbb and aaBB. A cross between AAbb and aaBB would produce AaBb genotypes in F1 progeny. Two F1 strains would be crossed to produce F2 progeny. The F2 progeny would have the genotype ratio= 1:2:1:2:4:2:1:2:1.

Out of all the obtained genotypes in the F2 generation, the proportion of "AaBb" genotype was 4/16. Therefore, "4" in the given ratio represents the genotype "AaBb".

Which is an advantage of flowering plants?
Delicious77 [7]

flowers attract  insects that transport gamete


Flowers in plants are an attractor of insects and birds which then act as dispersal agents for the male sex cells or gametes called pollen.


Flowers also help the plants to have more options of achieving pollination in that they do not have to depend on the wind for transfer of pollen. Insects and birds are significantly more efficient as agents of pollination than wind.

Cómo afecta la cantidad de medicamiento al nivel de<br> fiebre de un paciente??
Fed [463]
La fiebre es la temperatura corporal anormalmente alta. Por lo general, se define como tres lecturas de temperatura oral superiores a 38 ºC o 100.4 ºF en un período de 24 horas, o una lectura de temperatura superior a 38.5 ºC o 101.3 ºF. La fiebre es la respuesta del cuerpo a una infección. Sin embargo, sólo en la mitad de todos los pacientes con cáncer que desarrollan fiebre es posible encontrar un origen claro de la infección.

La fiebre es particularmente preocupante si ocurre en un momento en que se sabe o se espera que el nivel de leucocitos sea bajo (en el nadir). Durante ese tiempo, las defensas normales del cuerpo contra las infecciones están bajas y es necesario evaluar la fiebre más detenidamente de inmediato.

A veces, la quimioterapia y la fiebre guardan relación, porque los pacientes que reciben tratamientos de quimioterapia y tratamiento biológico pueden tener fiebre como parte del "síndrome seudogripal". La fiebre asociada con el síndrome seudogripal usualmente alcanza los 40 ºC o 104 ºF y suele aumentar después de un escalofrío fuerte. Este comportamiento es similar al cuadro clínico que presenta una sepsis (una infección en la sangre), de manera que es importante que los pacientes que reciben tratamiento biológico conozcan la evolución habitual de la fiebre después del tratamiento.
