Is it possible for plant breeders to develop a true-breeding pink-flowered snapdragon?

Biology
1 answer:
abruzzese [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Pink flower colour in snapdragon is as a result of incomplete dominance. The pink flower colour has no allele in nature. Instead, the pink colour results from incomplete dominance of the allele that codes for red flower colour over the allele that codes for the white flower colour.

Assuming that the allele for red flower colour in the plant is R and the allele for white flower colour is r, true breeding red and white flower colour plants will have the genotype RR and rr respectively. In heterozygote state (Rr), the phenotype is usually pink, showing that the R allele has incomplete dominance over the r allele.

<em>Hence, there is no way for plant breeders to develop a true-breeding pink-flowered snapdragon. without some genetic manipulations/mutation.</em>

What is the approximate percentage of total fixed nitrogen attributed to human activities?
Sever21 [200]

Of the annual global total of fixed nitrogen, human activities account for roughly 45%.

Nitrogen fixation is the global amount of nitrogen that gets assimilated by any living organism into another organic compound. The organic compound can be ammonia or nitrogen ions.

Of the total global annual nitrogen fixation, humans account for a great amount. The current estimation is that humans cause 45% of the nitrogen fixation annually. The leading causes of this high rate are the burning of fossil fuels and increased agricultural fertilizer use.

Suppose the North American plate is moving away from the Eurasian plate at a rate of 2 cm per year. The eastern-most point of No
Archy [21]

The correct answer is - 1,180 km.

North America and Europe move away from one another, though the two plates, the North American and Eurasian are merging together on the other side. Since the rate of moving away is 2 cm per year, and the current distance is 1,184 km between North America and Europe, the distance between them 200,000 years ago was 1,180 km.

To get to the result we only need to multiply the number of years with the annual movement

2 x 200,000 = 400,000

Than divide the result with 100,000, as that is how much cm are in one km

400,000 / 100,000 = 4

And we get 4 km, in this case 4 km less, thus the distance between the two, 200,000 years ago, was 1,180 km.

Why would it be hard to find the CO2 level if the light intensity were very low? HELP!!!!
drek231 [11]
If CO2 was in very small amounts then it would be the limiting factor of photosynthesis, this means the process will take place at a much slower rate because it is lacking one of the raw materials it needs for the process to occur. To find the optimum light intensity you really need all other factors to be at optimum levels or in abundance.
