If we draw up a Punnett square, we will see that after crossing two heterozygous individuals the possible offspring are RR, Rr, Rr and rr:

R r

R RR Rr

r Rr rr

Now to produce red flowers, an individual must be either homozygous dominant (RR) or heterozygous (Rr) and so from the Punnett square we can see that 3/4 of the offspring would produce red flowers. If we apply this ratio to 100 offspring, then we get:
3/4*100 = 75 offspring with red flowers, thus the answer is C

What do studies show about temperature tolerance of intertidal animals
Rom4ik [11]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The intertidal zone is a region of extreme conditions and the organisms should have special mechanisms to cope up with the extreme conditions. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Low tides expose an intertidal zone to air while high tides cover the intertidal zone with ocean water. When exposed to air the intertidal region is <em>directly exposed to the sun and there will be high temperature. </em>

Thus the animals have to cope up with the extreme heat and also have to face colder environment when under the sea.  <em>Since there is change in salinity the organisms have to handle this as well.</em>

Some animals with shells close their shell tightly to seal moisture. Animals like <em>snails and crabs have thick outer covering to prevent water loss by evaporation. </em>

Organisms like leaf barnacles cluster together to avoid individual exposure. <em>Animals like sea stars cling to the rocks to avoid being washed away by the waves. </em>
