Answer:
Characteristics of Fungi
Fungi are eukaryotic, non-vascular, non-motile and heterotrophic organisms.
They may be unicellular or filamentous.
They reproduce by means of spores.
Fungi exhibit the phenomenon of alternation of generation.
Fungi lack chlorophyll and hence cannot perform photosynthesis.
Answer:
Sudden Influx of Nutrients
Explanation:
Algal blooms are caused by a sudden influx of nutrients, coupled with already warm temperatures. This can happen from fertilizer runoff from farms or chemical industry waste. They allow algae to quickly grow, but the water reaches carrying capacity.
Answer:
Dominant allele does not completely conceal recessive allele.
Snapdragon with genotype Rr (R being red and r being white), would have a phenotype of pink flowers.
Explanation:
Incomplete dominance is where a dominant allele is not able to completely conceal a recessive allele, usually leading to a phenotype which appears to be a combination of the two.
For example, in snapdragons:
The allele for red flowers (R) is dominant over the allele for white flowers (r). Let's say a snapdragon flower had the genotype Rr, one allele for red flowers and one for white. In the case of 'normal' dominance the dominant red flower allele (R) would mask the effects of the recessive white flower allele (r), resulting in the phenotype (outward observable characteristics) of having red flowers.
However here in the case of incomplete dominance, the dominant allele would not be able to fully cover up the effects of the white flower allele, meaning that both colors (red and white) are expressed in the phenotype, resulting in pink flowers.
Hope this helped!
