Answer:
All offspring are tall when a homozygous tall parent with homozygous short parent.
Explanation:
When we crossed homozygous tall parent with homozygous short parent, we conclude that all offspring are tall, because homozygous short parent are supressed under the homozygous tall parent, due to law of dominance.
Law of dominance states that, recessive alleles are suppressed by dominant alleles but they can appear in F2 generation.
Using a punett square, we can predict the cross between homozygous tall and homozygous short parent.
The phenotypes are: All are tall plants (4:0).

Answer:
a. A buffer solution reacts with basic solutions.
c. A buffer solution reacts with acidic solutions.
e. A buffer solution resists small changes in pH
Explanation:
1. Buffer questions
a, c, and e are TRUE. A buffer resists a change in the pH when small amounts of a strong acid or base are added to it.
b is wrong. A buffer can have a pH of 7, but it can also have many other pH values.
d is wrong. Most buffers are colourless, and they resist a change in pH.
2. Titration curves
The solution is the best buffer at the mid-point of the titration curve.
In the figure below, the equivalence point is at 13 mL, so the mid-point is at 6.5 mL.
The solution is buffered at pH 3.2.
However, the solution is a buffer at any point in the range pH = 3.2 ± 1.
That would be in the range of 1 mL to 12 mL.
The buffering ability becomes worse the further you are from the mid-point of the titration.
