Answer:

2. 1 Pink : 1 white

3. 1 Red : 1 Pink

4. 1 Red : 2 Pink : 1 White

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for flower colour in snapdragon plants. The alleles of the gene exhibits incomplete dominance i.e. the red allele (R) ia not completely dominant over the white allele (W), hence an intermediate pink phenotype (RW) is formed. Based on this, a red snapdragon will have genotype, CRCR while a white one will have genotype, CWCW. The intermediate pink phenotype will have a genotype, CRCW.

The image attached to this question shows four crosses between different traits.

In the second cross between a pink (CRCW) and white offspring (CWCW), 2pink and 2white offsprings will be possibly produced in the ratio 1:1.

In the third cross between a red (CRCR) and pink (CRCW) snapdragon, 2 red and 2 Pink offsprings will possibly be produced in a ratio 1:1.

In the fourth cross between a pink (CRCW) and pink (CRCW) snapdragon, red, pink and white offsprings will be produced in the ratio 1:2:1.

See attached image for the complete punnet square. Note that, there was a mistake in the Genotype of the last cross i.e. pink has genotype CRCW not CWCW.

Why has mitochondrial dna became so important?

BartSMP [9]

Mitochondria are tiny organelles that are often referred to as the energy powerhouses of cells or our body's batteries. Their prime function is to take in the sugars that have been converted from the food we eat, and turn them into a form of energy that cells can use

How are algae cells different from other cells

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

In the case of the algae, each individual cell is responsible for absorbing its own water. This makes the algae nonvascular compared to the highly vascular plant species. In this connection, algae also lack several key structures that are normally present in ordinary plants like the leaves, roots and stem.

Is this equation balanced? Explain your answer. Na + Cl2 → NaCl ?

SOVA2 [1]

Unbalanced,
Na + Cl2

Na = 1
Cl = 2

NaCl

Na = 1
Cl = 1

Basically, both the reactants and products must have equal amounts of each element.

Cacti in the deserts of southwestern North America and some euphorbs of the deserts of Africa, have barrel-shaped stems, short-l

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The right answer to this question is option D. Convergent evolution.

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is a process defined by when an organism develops the same, or at least near that, characteristics, for a specific reason, but they don't have the same origin. In this case, the cacti in both deserts have pretty much the same characteristics, and this happens because both these plants need water to survive, and in order to save it, they have barrel-shaped stems, short-lived leaves, and spines. All of these things help them in saving the water and capturing it when it's possible.

The convergent evolution is when both these organisms develop equally, but are not originally from the same place, the environment being the one to shape this.
