George Beadle concluded that teosinte is the likely ancestor of maize (corn), even though the two plants appear very different.

What evidence did Dr. Beadle collect that led to his conclusion?
a. teosinte and maize can produce fertile hybrids.
b. teosinte and maize have similar chromosomes.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

ALL options are as follows -

a. teosinte and maize can produce fertile hybrids.

b. teosinte and maize have similar chromosomes.

c. Both Teosinte and maize have naked, soft kernel.

d. Teosinte and maize can produce fertile hybrids

Solution

Beadle started working on maize genetics since 1962 after joining graduate school at Cornell University.  

During his research he found that the chromosomes of teosinte and maize possess higher similarity and also show signs of intercross ability of the two species and hence confirmed that wild teosinte is an ancestor of domesticated maize.  

He later concluded that there are only 4 to 5 genes that make these two species different from each other rest all is similar.  

Option B is correct

God PLEASE help. What does surface area-to-volume ratio, diffusion rate, and time for substances have anything to do with reachi
sasho [114]

Answer:

Surface area to volume ratio, in simple means the size of surface area to the volume of substance that can pass through it at a particular time.

Amoeba and some bacterias are flat and have large surface area to volume ratio. So the diffusion rate is very high due to large surface area.

Where as humans have small surface area: volume so diffusion is very slow or does not take place at all.

Explanation:

As the ratio gets smaller, it takes longer for items to diffuse.

Explanation:

When the cell increases in size, the volume increases faster than the surface area, because volume is cubed where surface area is squared.

When there is more volume and less surface area, diffusion takes longer and is less effective. This is because there is a greater area that needs to receive the substance being diffused, but less area for that substance to actually enter the cell.

this is actually why cells divide. When they become too large and it takes too long for them to transport materials across the cell, they lose efficiency and divide in half to raise the surface area to volume ratio.

Why do scientists classify organisms
Ksenya-84 [330]
Scientists classify living things to organize and make sense of the incredible diversity of life. Classification also helps us understand how living things are related to each other.

Question 1
noname [10]
1 - A ground level plant develops curling tendrils that wrap around other objects so it can "climb".

This is a species changing over time as it was originally a ground level plant but began to climb higher.

2 - Over many generations.

This is because diversity takes time and has to be integrated through generations; for instance, marriage. In a family, it becomes more diverse after the next generation as each generation is likely to marry someone of another ethnicity and allow the family tree to become more diverse.

3 - Mutate or Survive

It depends on what it means by mutate - develop a mutation to make it adaptable? If that's the case, then mutations within the DNA would be a result of adaptation and increase survival. Otherwise, survive is the obvious answer as adaption allows for species to move around and live longer.

Hope this helps!

In sweet pea, red flower color is controlled by two genes involved in the anthocyanin pathway, A and B. Both genes are required
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The dihybrid ratio we expect in the offspring is 9:7.

Explanation:

This is an example of complementary gene interaction, which is the non allelic interaction or genes, where the prominent genes at heterozygous loci may complement each other by complementing recessive alleles at the respective loci.

So in this case of  complementary gene interaction, the individuals that are A-bb or aaB- or aabb will have the same set of observable features (phenotype) but only A-B- individuals will how the dominant phenotype.
