It must be because the red flowers are dominant to the white flowers. This just means that the red flowers are expressed more (let’s give it the allele A) the red flower would have an A allele and the white flower would have the a allele (lowercase). All of the alleles in the offspring look like Aa Bc they are heterozygous and the A overpowers a so that results in all red flowers

Answer:

the red flower gene is dominant, white is recessive, the cross was RR x rr yielding 4 Rr crosses with red flowers.

Describe how hibernation has helped bear species to survive.
Ierofanga [76]
Hibernation helps animals survive the changing seasons. Foods that bears eat, such as berries and flowers, are much less available during cold winter months. When they hibernate, bears enter a deep sleep. ... While they sleep, the bears can survive because their bodies live off of their stored fat or food.

During hibernation, the animal’s body temperature, heart rate and breathing rate all drop to significantly lower levels. Animals do this to survive the winter because the weather is cold and food is scarce. It is advantageous because these animals can quite literally shut themselves off for weeks at a time rather than try and survive through harsh weather conditions.

While many people think bears are hibernators, they actually participate in a similar, though not exact, practice. Instead of hibernating, bears fall into a deep sleep called torpor. During torpor, heart rate and breathing rate decreases, body temperature reduces slightly and bears do not eat or release bodily waste. Bears can sleep more than 100 days without eating, drinking, or passing waste!

Bears sleep in dens that they make themselves, as well as in hollow trees, caves and dens built by other bears. A den can be built in 3–7 days, however, the timing of den building varies from bear to bear. While some bears build their dens months before hibernation season, others choose to excavate their dens.

These animals can dramatically drop their body temperature to below freezing—salty body fluids work to prevent tissue crystallization in particularly cold temperatures.

So really, animals that are true hibernators don’t actually sleep through the entire winter.

The urea produced by their fat metabolism is broken down and the nitrogen is re-used by the bear to rebuild protein.
