Prokaryotes divide by binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction in which a cell divides into two cells with identical genetic information.

Explanation:

Binary fission and mitosis can be viewed as the same principle of asexual reproduction to give out two identical cells. However, the major difference between the two is that binary fission is to prokaryotes and mitosis is to eukaryotes. Remember that prokaryotes do not have a true nucleus (they have a nucleoid) hence binary fission does not involve the dividing of the nucleus. Mitosis does.

Sexual reproduction is responsible for creating variation in offspring especially due to the process of meiosis in gamete development and subsequent fertilization of two gametes from different parents.

when you perform a dihybrid cross with two heterozygous individuals for the two traits, what is the expected phenotypic ratio?

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

9:3:3:1

Explanation:

A dihybrid cross tracks two traits. Both parents are heterozygous, and one allele for each trait exhibits complete dominance *. This means that both parents have recessive alleles, but exhibit the dominant phenotype. The phenotype ratio predicted for dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1. (There's a calculator on google that show the outcomes just to let ya know) hope it's correct .

10. What would happen to the food web if all the plants were removed?

allsm [11]

The removal of the producers would cause the collapse of the entire food web. Primary consumers or herbivores, which feed on producers directly, would die off.

A wild-type tomato plant (Plant 1) is homozygous dominant for three traits: solid leaves (MM), normal height (DD), and smooth sk

Brut [27]

Answer: In this type of cross between MmDdPp and mmddpp, the phenotypic ratios in the eight possible phenotypes are as follow; a. solid, normal, smooth = 1:8

b. solid, normal, peach = 1:8

c. solid, dwarf, smooth = 1:8

d. solid, dwarf, peach = 1:8

e. mottled, normal, smooth = 1:8

f. mottled, normal, peach = 1:8

g. mottled, dwarf, smooth = 1:8

h. mottled, dwarf, peach = 1:8

Explanation: The number of gametes that can be formed from a particular genotype is given as 2^n where n is the number of heterozygous loci. In the genotype MmDdPp, n = 3. Therefore, 8 gametes can be formed.

In genotype mmddpp, n = 0. Therefore, only one type of gamete can be formed.

Crossing the two genotype (MmDdPp and mmddpp) as shown in the attached image, 8 possible offsprings can be achieved. Phenotypes of these offspring had been stated earlier. The phenotypic frequency of each of these offspring is one out of eight (⅛).
