Answer:

The F2 generation can be explained because the alleles for flower colour and pollen shape are linked.

Explanation:

<em>When two alleles are linked on the same chromosome, there is a high tendency for the alleles to be inherited together. Consequently, the frequency of the alleles recombining in subsequent generations is low.</em>

This is what Bateson and Punnet observed. There exist a linkage between P and L alleles and also p and l alleles, thereby increasing their frequencies  of occurring together and decreasing the frequency of their recombination.

Thus, the F2 generation observed by Bateson and Punnet is due to linkage of alleles.

How is nitrogen metabolism in the prokaryotes vital to other organisms? given the roles of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle, how w
Murljashka [212]
Metabolizing nitrogen in prokaryotes is very important to other organisms since these prokaryotes are able to convert ammonium in the soil to nitrate and, then, the denitrifying bacteria could use the nitrate produced instead of using oxygen in their metabolism in order to release nitrogen molecules. by the denitrification process, thus completing the nitrogen cycle. Without the nitrogen metabolism in prokaryotes, the nitrogen in the atmosphere could not be used or utilized to synthesize essential organic compounds that are needed by other organisms. It is only the prokaryotes that has the ability fixing nitrogen or can do the process of nitrogen fixation.
