Answer: False

Explanation:

The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere which shields the earth from the harmful incident rays like infrared and ultraviolet radiations. It consist of ozone layer near the altitude of 25 kilometers. The ozone molecules present in the stratosphere absorb the high energy UV rays which are capable of warming the inner atmospheric layers of the earth, may cause damage to the genetic material of the organisms and skin problems in humans.

On the basis of the above explanation, statement The thermosphere protects the Earth from UV radiation coming from the Sun is false.

In a hypothetical population of plants, flower color is determined by a single gene with two alleles. In a population of 500 pla
blondinia [14]

Answer:

In the F1 generation

RR = 0%

Rr = 50% (or 0.5)

rr = 50% (or 0.5)

Explanation:

A pink flowering plant has the genotype Rr. It is heterozygous for the allele. The alleles for this gene appears to show incomplete dominance, as the heterozygous phenotype is a blend of the two homozygous genotypes.

A white flowering plant has the genotype rr. It is homozyogous for the white allele

A punnet square of the cross is shown.

The resulting punnet square shows that only Rr and rr genotypes are possible, at a ratio of 50:50 (or 1:1). Therefore, the genotype frequency of Rr is 50%, and rr is 50% in the F1 generation. This can also be written as 0.5. It is not possible to get a red plant, as the genotype RR can not come from this cross
