Water molecules exhibit a property by virtue of which they can stick to each other. What is this property referred to as?

Why might the cell theory actually be a law?

Sladkaya [172]

Due to a law being a predicted sort of event that is bound to happen every time, a pattern, we can say that since the cell theory is a pattern instead of a possible explanation, it can be a law. However, since we don't have an accurate explanation to the part which claims that they all come from pre-existing cells, it is a theory, we don't have enough information to confirm that the theory is a solid fact, therefore, we can't confirm that it is a law.

6. Why does meiosis increase genetic variation in the offspring, but mitosis does not? (1 point)

brilliants [131]

Meiosis involves crossing over where chromosomes exchange genetic segments, resulting in different sets of chromosomes. Each time an egg or sperm created, it is different due to this recombination. Mitosis on the other hand is non-sex cells replicating exact copies of themselves which lead to no genetic variation as they aren't involved in producing offspring.

Someone please calculate the ratio of offspring please help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Over [174]

Answer:

2. 1 Pink : 1 white

3. 1 Red : 1 Pink

4. 1 Red : 2 Pink : 1 White

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for flower colour in snapdragon plants. The alleles of the gene exhibits incomplete dominance i.e. the red allele (R) ia not completely dominant over the white allele (W), hence an intermediate pink phenotype (RW) is formed. Based on this, a red snapdragon will have genotype, CRCR while a white one will have genotype, CWCW. The intermediate pink phenotype will have a genotype, CRCW.

The image attached to this question shows four crosses between different traits.

In the second cross between a pink (CRCW) and white offspring (CWCW), 2pink and 2white offsprings will be possibly produced in the ratio 1:1.

In the third cross between a red (CRCR) and pink (CRCW) snapdragon, 2 red and 2 Pink offsprings will possibly be produced in a ratio 1:1.

In the fourth cross between a pink (CRCW) and pink (CRCW) snapdragon, red, pink and white offsprings will be produced in the ratio 1:2:1.

See attached image for the complete punnet square. Note that, there was a mistake in the Genotype of the last cross i.e. pink has genotype CRCW not CWCW.
