Answer:
Functions of phosphorus in the body,
i) Formation of bones and teeth. It's a component necessary for forming strong bones and teeth in the body.
ii) It's important in helping to make protein in the body for growth. Since many proteins in the body are phosphorylated for regulating their functions.
iii) Activation of enzymes. This done through phosphorylation.
iv) Gene transcription. It provides structural importance to the gene and protein binding is by the presence of phosphorus.
Deficiency of phosphorus in the body;
i) Weak and fragile bones.
ii) Bone pain.
iii) Fragile teeth.
iv) Stiff joints.

Answer:
Paramecium.
Explanation:
Ciliates are group of protozoans organisms that are characterized by special organelles called cilia.
Cilia is used for loccomotion in ciliates and can also be use to move food into the body. The cilia can be use for swimming, crawling, for attachment and sensation. Some ciliates are free living while some are parasitic. They are found in the aquatic habitats both fresh water and ocean.
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.
