<span>My pea plant has an unknown genotype for flowers, whether it has two dominant traits for white flowers (WW) or one dominant and one recessive (Ww) leading to white flowers; therefore I am doing a testcross in order to determine the genotype of my pea plant. The best plant to do this with is one that has a phenotype of purple flowers (ww) - that is, it is homozygous for the recessive trait.
If I use a homozygous recessive plant, I know exactly what its genotype is. I don't have to worry about whether it's got one or two dominant alleles; I know that at least half of my alleles are going to be the recessive w.
This makes identifying the offspring's genotype very simple. If I find that the offspring have at least some purple flowers among them, I know that my original plant had to be Ww; that is it had to have one dominant and one recessive allele for the flower color gene. If, however, all of the offspring are white flowers, I know that my original pea plant had both dominant alleles (WW).</span>
Answer:
The fish appears nearer to the cat than it really is
Explanation:
The situation above is related to the refraction of light. The cat will think that the fish is closer to him, however, it is actually at a<u> different depth</u> in its<em> actual position</em>. This is because of the refraction of light as it travels in two different mediums: <em>water and air.</em> The eyes and brains are<u> not capable of tracing the light rays' refraction,</u> thus, the cat's image of the fish is on a shallower depth. In reality, the light rays reflecting from the fish are actually being refracted on the water's surface.
Answer:
B)
Explanation:
The adult stem cell can renew itself and can differentiate to yield some or all of the major specialized cell types of the tissue or organ. The primary roles of adult stem cells in a living organism are to maintain and repair the tissue in which they are found.
The mode of nutrition described above is phagocytosis.
Amooba is a unicellular eukaryotes and it obtains its nutrition using the same method. Amoeba feeds on microscopic organisms, which it engulfs, secretes into its food vacuole and digest.
Answer:
a. 8.1 milligrams
b. 40.07 hours
c. 8.859 milligrams
Explanation:
If a person takes a prescribed dose of 10 milligrams of Valium, the amount of Valium in that person's bloodstream at any time can be modeled by
Where A(t) = amount of Valium remaining in the blood after t hours
t = time or duration after the drug is taken
a. we have to calculate the amount of drug remaining in the bloodstream after 12 hours
= 10×0.81253
= 8.1 milligrams
b. In this part we have to calculate the time when A(t) = 5 milligrams
0.5 = 
Now we take natural log on both the sides of the equation.
ln(0.5) = ln(
-0.69314 = -0.0173t
t = 
t = 40.0658
≈ 40.07 hours
c. In this part we have to calculate the rate, by which amount of drug will decay in the bloodstream after 7 hours.
= 10×0.8859
= 8.859 milligrams
