 Its To Attract Insects!

Answer:

The flowers of various plant species exhibit specialized cells that generate scents. This scent is generally a composite mixture of low molecular weight compounds discharged by flowers into the atmosphere and its color, structure, and odor are the critical elements in fascinating pollinators.  

Though the flowers can be similar in their shape and color, however, no two floral scents will be exactly the same due to the huge diversity of volatile components and their comparative abundances and associations. Therefore, the scent is a signal, which directs pollinators towards a specific flower whose pollen or nectar is the reward.  

The scents discharged from the flowers work as both short and long-distance attractants and perform an essential function in the selection and localization of flowers by insects, mainly the moth-pollinated flowers. The species of flowers pollinated by flies and bees emit sweet scents, while those pollinated by beetles exhibit spicy, musty, or fruity odors.

Short hair (L) is dominant over long hair (1) in rabbits. Two heterozygous rabbits are mated. Show the punnett square. What phen
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

When two heterozygous short haired rabbits are crossed, the short hair being dominant and the long hair recessive, the phenotypes in the offspring will be 75% short hair and 25% long hair, with a short hair:long hair ratio of 3:1.

Explanation:

The crossing of two hybrid individuals for a trait has the probability of producing <u>offspring that exhibit the dominant trait at 75% and the recessive trait at 25%, with the ratio of the dominant trait to the recessive trait being 3:1</u>.

Considering the hair length trait, in rabbits the short hair (L) is the dominant trait and the long hair (L) is recessive, two heterozygous hybrid individuals Ll are crossed:

<em><u>Genotype of the parents</u></em>:

  • ♂ Ll
  • ♀ Ll

Ll X Ll

<u>Punnett Square </u>

Alleles        L      l

L                 LL    Ll

l                  Ll      ll

Where the offspring have a genotype:

<em>Ll 50% </em>

<em>LL 25% </em>

<em>ll 25% </em>

With a ratio Ll:LL:ll of 3:1:1.

Phenotype:

<em>Short hair 75%. </em>

<em>Long hair 25%. </em>

Phenotypic ratio short hair: 3:1 long hair.

In the crossing of two heterozygous short-haired rabbits, taking into account the dominance of the short hair,  phenotypes in the offspring will be 75% short hair and 25% long hair, with a short hair:long hair ratio of 3:1

Scrat [10]

Correct answer: A) The eradication of childhood illnesses

Stem cell are the type of biological cells that have the ability to differentiate into other cell type and can divide to produce different types of cells in the body. They are called regenerative cell which renew itself, they are found in multi-cellular organism.

It can be used as a renewable source of cell replacement and tissue, it can treat serious and common type of disease without organ  surgeries and transplantation. It can treat spinal injury, heart disease, diabetes, stroke and osteoarthritis. It has been successfully used in bone marrow transplantation.

Hence, the correct answer would be the eradication of childhood illnesses
