Answer: Without bacteria life as we know it would not be possible.

Explanation:

Bacteria play a major role in processing organic waste in every environment. If all bacteria are eliminated from an environment, waste would pile up. Plants depend on nitrogen fixing bacteria to convert unusable gaseous nitrogen into usable nitrogenous compounds such as ammonia, without which they could not survive. Most vertebrate, and many invertebrates depend on bacteria living in their guts to help digest food. Ruminants, for example, depend on bacteria in the rumen of the stomach to break down cellulose, allowing them to survive on grasses with very little nutritional value.

In peas, tall plants (T) are completely dominant over short plants (t). You cross two heterozygous pea plants Use a Punnett squa

Nikitich [7]

Answers and Explanation:

Find enclosed the Punnet square.

T= dominant allele

t= recessive allele

Tt= heterozygous genotype

TT and tt= homozygous genotype

- The male pea plant's genotype is Tt (heterozygous)

- The female pea plant's genotype is Tt (heterozygous)

- Male gametes: T and t

- Female gametes: T and t

- The expected genotypic ratio of the offpring will be:

TT: Tt: tt ⇒ 1: 2: 1

1/4 of the offpring will be TT genotype (dominant homozygous), 1/2 of the offpring will be Tt (heterozygous) genotype and 1/4 of the offpring will be tt genotype (recessive homozygous).

- The expected phenotypic ratio of the offpring will be:

tall : short ⇒ 3 : 1

3/4 of the offpring will be tall (TT and Tt) and the restant 1/4 will be short (tt).
