Explanation:

Woody plants, such as trees, tend to have more genetic diversity, on the whole, than vascular plants, such as grasses. Part of the diversity is due to the size of each species' geographic range and how far they can move their genetic information, for example through wind pollination or animal seed dispersers

Answer:

Genetic diversity tells about the uniqueness of organisms. This is achieved by how these organisms are able to inter relate with each other in ways that include passing on genetic information during reproduction.

This is determined by the population of the organism and the ease in which reproduction occurs between organisms.

Examples include woody plants having more diversity than vascular ones due to woody plants having more agents and plant parts that supports pollination and reproduction.

Another example include different species of dogs living together and cross breeding with one another.

Give an example of a theory and 1 example of a scientific law.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

A scientific law is simply an observation of the phenomenon that the theory attempts to explain. For example, suppose that you were lying under an apple tree and observed an apple fall from a branch to the ground. The observation of this phenomena can be called the law of gravity.

Sporophytes are? a. Gametes b. zygotes c. haploid d. diploid

Readme [11.4K]

It's D.diploid
in the life cycle of plants with alternating generations) the asexual and usually diploid phase, producing spores from which the gametophyte arises. It is the dominant form in vascular plants, e.g., the frond of a fern.

A wild-type tomato plant (Plant 1) is homozygous dominant for three traits: solid leaves (MM), normal height (DD), and smooth sk

Brut [27]

Answer: In this type of cross between MmDdPp and mmddpp, the phenotypic ratios in the eight possible phenotypes are as follow; a. solid, normal, smooth = 1:8

b. solid, normal, peach = 1:8

c. solid, dwarf, smooth = 1:8

d. solid, dwarf, peach = 1:8

e. mottled, normal, smooth = 1:8

f. mottled, normal, peach = 1:8

g. mottled, dwarf, smooth = 1:8

h. mottled, dwarf, peach = 1:8

Explanation: The number of gametes that can be formed from a particular genotype is given as 2^n where n is the number of heterozygous loci. In the genotype MmDdPp, n = 3. Therefore, 8 gametes can be formed.

In genotype mmddpp, n = 0. Therefore, only one type of gamete can be formed.

Crossing the two genotype (MmDdPp and mmddpp) as shown in the attached image, 8 possible offsprings can be achieved. Phenotypes of these offspring had been stated earlier. The phenotypic frequency of each of these offspring is one out of eight (⅛).

Cancer cells are rogue cells. List and explain 3 mutations that allow cancer cells to occur:

LuckyWell [14K]

Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor

All of the following are regulatory functions of the endocrine system except Select one: a. labor contractions. b. development o

aleksley [76]

Answer:

c. immune functions.

Explanation:

The endocrine system is involved in the regulation of metabolic rate, body temperature (thermoregulation), tissue development and labor contractions except immune functions.

Studies have shown that no hormone has been identified as being important in the regulation of the immune system. Therefore immune functions is not a regulatory function of the endocrine system.

Although, there have been articles on the endocrine and immune system crosstalk, only a hypothesis of various proteohormones not single hormones have been discovered to act on immunocompetent cells.
