Suppose that a leaf disk that has had the air sucked out is placed in bicarbonate solution under a dim light that results in a l

ow rate of photosynthesis that just equals the rate of cellular respiration. Would you expect this leaf disk to float? Explain why or why not.

The answer is; NO


This is because the leaf would not have tiny oxygen bubbles spread across its base (because the base is where most stomata are) that would help it float on the water. The reason is that the oxygen produced in the process of photosynthesis would be consumed in respiration because the rates of the two biochemical processes are the same.

Incomplete dominance
Westkost [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is a phenomenon in genetic inheritance that occurs when the two alleles of a gene seem equally effective in their influence on a trait. It is a form of Intermediate dominance in which one allele for a specific trait does not completely mask the expression of its paired allele, as opposed to Mendel's law of dominance. Incomplete dominance results in a third phenotype different from the parent phenotypes but a combination of both.

In incomplete dominance, the intermediate/resulting phenotype is the heterozygous genotype.

Gregor Mendel discovered this concept of incomplete dominance in the flower of four o'clock plants when he crossed a purebred (homozygous) red-flowered (RR) with a purebred (homozygous) white-flowered plant (rr) to get F1 offsprings that are all heterozygous but have pink flowers (Rr). He later self-fertilized the F1 offsprings to produce a phenotypic ratio of 1:2:1 consisting of 1 red, 2 pinks, 1 white flower respectively.

This showed that the allele for red flower (R) is incompletely dominant over the allele for white flower (r), hence, producing an offspring with a different trait that arose from the blending of the two phenotypes.

Incomplete dominance is similar but different from co-dominance in the sense that, in co-dominance, both alleles/traits are expressed completely in the new phenotype produced while in incomplete dominance, the new phenotype is just a blending of the two phenotypes.

The correct answer is to Represent the locations of subatomic particles in different atomic theories.

Explanation:

Atoms, which are the basic unit of matter in the universe are composed of subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons). Moreover, during history atoms have been represented through different models that differ in their general structure as well as the location of sub particles.

This can be seen in the image presented because Thompson's model purposes electrons, which are represented by circles with the negative sign, are distributed inside a positively charged substance. On the other hand, Bohr's model proposes protons are in the center and electrons orbit around it, which shows different locations of sub-particles.
