Answer:
1. B. carbon dioxide taken in from the surrounding air
2. A. Root
Explanation:
Sugar beet plant carries out photosynthesis and stores the excess of the sucrose in its taproots. During the process of photosynthesis, the plant absorbs CO2 from the air, water from the soil and synthesizes organic sugars in the presence of sunlight.
Atmospheric CO2 contributes carbon and oxygen atoms to the formed sugars which in turn are stored in plant parts. Therefore, atmospheric CO2 makes most of the mass of the photosynthesizing plants such as sugar beets. The taproots of beet plants are modified into storage roots to store the excess of the organic sugars.
Answer:
D. A base substitution in gametes during meiosis
Explanation:
Favorable
Traits that enhance survivability and reproduction, to be more specific.<span />
Answer:
25%
Explanation:
This cross involves a single gene coding for spot color in beta fish. Green allele is C while the blue allele is c. This gene exhibits co-dominance, hence, an heterozygote beta fish (Cc) i.e. combination of both alleles, will have both phenotypes expressed to form a green and blue spotted beta fish.
If two green and blue spotted beta fishes (Cc) are crossed, each beta fish will produce gametes with C and c alleles. Using these gametes in a punnet square, four possible offsprings with the following genotypes will be produced: CC, Cc, Cc and cc.
C c
C CC Cc
c Cc cc
Hence, the percentage of offsprings expected to be green (CC genotype) is 1 out of 4possible offsprings i.e. 1/4 × 100 = 25%
