In a cross of purple flowered heterozygous plants (Pp), the letter P represents the allele for purple flowers and the letter p r

epresents the allele for white flowers. What is the probability that an offspring of this cross expresses plants with purple flower phenotypes? A. 0 B. 1/4 C. 1/2 D. 3/4

Answer:

D (3/4)

Explanation:

This cross involves a single gene coding for flower colour in pea plant where the purple allele (P) is dominant over the white allele (p) since the purple allele masks the expression of the white allele in a heterozygous state (Pp). A cross between two heterozygous plants (Pp) will produce four possible offsprings with genotypes PP, Pp and pp in the ratio 1:2:1.

The PP and Pp genotypes are purple flowered while the pp is white flowered. Hence, the probability of having purple flowered plants from this cross is 3 out of 4 i.e. 3/4.

<span>Here is an essay I wrote on renewable energy feel free to use some of it:
</span><span>Solar power:1. The definition of solar power is power obtained by harnessing the energy of the sun's rays.2. Using solar power can be better for the environment than coal. It is local.3. Solar power can be very expensive. There isn’t always sun, so we can not always get power from this resource.4. Solar power plants take up land often resulting in habitat loss, and some use hazardous materials in making solar power panels.5. Using this resource is better for the environment than using coal, but since there isn’t always sun, we can not always get power from this resource.6. Solar power cost more to create and to use than coal does.
7. Photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) are used to collect energy from the sun.
8. The sun hits the solar panels and generates DC electricity. The energy then goes into a solar inverter that turns the DC energy into AC energy, which is then used to power things.
9. Two potential hazards in using this resource are the materials used to make it, and habitat loss.
10. If solar power were our primary way of getting electricity a lot of land would be taken up by the solar power plants, resulting in the loss of a lot of animal habitats. Also, the sun isn’t out 24/7, so we can not always get power from this resource.<span>
</span></span><span>Since I believe that our country is already headed in this direction anyway, I would suggest that we invest in the use of more renewable resources. I would suggest that we use geothermal as our main way to get our hot water for our homes, hydropower for electricity in states with an abundant water supply, and the combination of wind and solar power for electricity as well. I think we would have cleaner air and it would be more efficient. Both renewable and non-renewable have their pros and cons, and I personally believe that in this day and age we would have a hard time functioning without both of them. But I do think that using more renewable resources would be a good investment.</span>

Choose the appropriate term to fill in the sentence: when mrs. m ate, her intestinal contents became __________ to her blood. he
KonstantinChe [14]
<span>The answer to this question would be: hypertonic, hypotonic

After eating, the intestine is filled with food that will be digested. Food that digested will turn into a much smaller unit of carbohydrate, amino acid and fatty acid that will cause the intestine to have hypertonic solution compared to the blood. This will induce diffusion of some molecule to the intestinal cell, and then to the blood.</span>

Which is the best hypothesis for the scientific question "How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?"
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The third option, Light intensity has an impact on the rate of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Light is a limiting factor at low intensity. Thus the rate of photosynthesis increases with an increase in light intensity. High light intensities affect the rate of photosynthesis. It increases the temperature of the leaves. Therefore, rate of transpiration increases
