In a group of muskmelon plants, some individuals have sour fruit and others have sweet fruit. in this group, the gene for the fr

juin [17]

Correct option(s):

(b) This muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste gene is ff.

(c) This muskmelon plant is homozygous for the fruit taste gene.

A dominant allele is one that is capable of expressing itself even in the heterozygous condition and overshadows the effect of the recessive allele. It is usually denoted by a capital letter. Recessive allele on the contrary cannot express in presence of a dominant allele and is denoted by a small letter.

In the given case the fruit with a sour taste (phenotype) can have two possible genotypes (FF and Ff). The genotype of sweet taste is ff which is a homozygous condition.

Note: Your question is incomplete, probably your complete question is “In a group of muskmelon plants, some individuals have sour fruit and others have sweet fruit. in this group, the gene for the fruit taste trait has two alleles. the allele F is for sour fruit, and the allele f is for sweet fruit. a certain muskmelon plant from this group has sweet fruit. this plant has two alleles for sweet fruit. Choose the correct option:

(a) this muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste trait is sweet fruit.

(b) this muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste gene is ff.

(c) this muskmelon plant is homozygous for the fruit taste gene.”

What are the differences in their hard parts, distribution, reproduction among phytoplankton of cyanobacteria, diatom, coccolith

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HARD BODY PARTS.

•Cyanobacteria have calcified sheaths.

• Diatoms have hard but porous cell wall.

• Coccolithophores have hard body parts.

• Silicoflagellates skeleton is composed of opaline silica.

• Dinoflagellates do not have hard body parts

• Green algae - no hard body parts.

• Brown algae - no hard body parts.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DISTRIBUTION

• Cyanobacteria are found almost in every terrestrial habitat on planet.

• Diatoms are found in oceans, freshwater, soil and damp.

• Coccolithophores are exclusively marine.

• Silicoflagellates are found in marine environment.

• Dinoflagellates are both freshwater and marine.

• Green algae grow on objects that do not move such as substrate, rock.

• Brown algae - wide distribution from tropical to polar zones.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN REPRODUCTION.

• Cyanobacteria - asexually by binary or multiple fission, fragmentation, spore formation.

• Diatom - asexually by cell division through mitosis.

• Coccolithophores - asexually by binary fission.

• Silicoflagellates - asexually

• Dinoflagellates - asexually

• Green algae - sexually or asexually by cell division, fragmentation, spore formation.

• Brown algae - sexually and asexually.

What happens to predator populations when prey populations are scarce? Why?

GenaCL600 [577]

When prey is abundant, predator populations increase because more young are able to survive. More predators kill more prey, which, along with food scarcity, decreases the population. When prey becomes more scarce, the predator population declines until prey is again more abundant. Therefore, the two balance each other.

Why can't nonmetals conduct electricity?

Verizon [17]

<span>Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical nonmetals have a dull, colored or colorless appearance; are brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides.</span>
