Flower color in a particular plant species is determined by one gene locus. The allele at the locus can code for either red flow

ers or blue flowers. When two such plants are crossed, however, some of the offspring produce purple flowers. What is the genotype of the plants with purple flowers?
A.
an allele for red flowers on both homologous chromosomes
B.
two alleles for red flowers on one homologous chromosome, and two alleles for blue flowers on the other
C.
an allele for purple flowers on both homologous chromosomes

The answer is D. This is an exmaple of incomplete dominance. Red and blue make purple. Because there is no purple alleles, C is false. Because there you can only have 2 alleles total B is false. A is false because having two red alleles makes a red flower.

<h2>Diffuse co-evolution </h2>

Explanation:

The term ‘diffuse co-evolution’ was given by Janzen in 1980 to describe the idea that selection on traits often reflects the actions of many community members, as opposed to pairwise interactions between species

The idea was further clarified by Gould in 1988 by focusing on a variety of ecological and genetic mechanisms that might lead to diffuse co-evolution in response to selection from multiple species

Diffuse co-evolution as a whole can be defined as when selection imposed reciprocally by one species on another is dependent on the presence or absence of other species

In the given example panic grass can live only when the fungus protuberata is present and for Curvularia protuberata to colonize Curvularia thermal tolerance virus must be present so there is a web of multiple species where one species is dependent on other species and that other species in turn is dependent on different species hence referred to as diffuse co-evolution

The coracobrachialis muscle originates on the __________.
Travka [436]

Answer:

Option C, coracoid process of the scapula

Explanation:

Coracobrachialis muscle is one of the essential muscles that is responsible for the movement of elbow along with biceps brachii and triceps muscles.  

The coracobrachialis arises from the coracoid process of the scapula. It assists the elbow in flexion and internal rotation. Musculocutaneous nerve passes through the Coracobrachialis muscle and terminates at the lateral end of the cutaneous nerve of the forearm. However, the Coracobrachialis terminates at the humerus and its medial surface

Hence, option C is correct
