Imagine that a couple is planning to have children. The male is heterozygous for tongue rolling and homozygous dominant for unat

tached earlobes. The female is homozygous recessive for tongue rolling and heterozygous for unattached earlobes. The couple is curious about the possibility and probability of their offspring inheriting these traits. The ability to roll ones tongue is dominant (R) over the “non-rolling” condition (r.) Unattached earlobes (U) are dominant over attached earlobes (u) Complete a Punnett square for this cross and record the probabilities for genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring as ratios.

Answer:

 

F1 generation:         RrUu, rrUU, rrUu, RrUU

                               25% : 25%: 25%: 25%

Ratios

  • genotype:              1: 1: 1: 1   ...(from punnet square)
  • phenotype:               1 : 1

Explanation:

Punnett squares are a diagrammatic way of deciding the characteristics of hybrid offspring created by crosses in genetic breeding. Parental genotypes and phenotypes are widely recognized, and all usually obey normal Mendelian ratios and inheritance.

Mendelian genetics focuses on the origin or heritability of characteristics. Such traits are packed into one's own gamete, acquired by themselves, and sometimes display superiority, where one's impact can mask those of another trait.

These are called the Law of Segregation, Independent assortment and Dominance respectively.

For this cross...  Assuming:

Unattached lobes= dominant

  • Rolling tongue= dominant
  • Parent generation or P generation:

Gametes:

R → rolling dominant (R), non-rolling recessive (r)

U → unattached dominant (U), attached recessive (u)

P generation:                          RUrU× rUru

                       rolling, unattached  × non-rolling, unattached

F1 generation:         RrUu, rrUU, rrUu, RrUU

                               25% : 25%: 25%: 25%

Ratios

  • genotype:              1: 1: 1: 1   ...(from punnet square)
  • phenotype:               1 : 1

<em><u>Half the offspring have unattached lobes and can roll their tongues while the other half have unattached lobes and cannot roll their tongues...</u></em>

Each punnet cross is attached below

5. If you were given an unfamiliar vegetable, how could you tell if it was a root or a stem, based on its external features and
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

In roots, the vascular tissues, i.e., xylem and phloem, are found in the central vascular cylinder, while in stems these tissues are dispersed throughout the stem, generally arranged as a ring towards the outside of the stem (epidermis)

Explanation:

Vascular plants have two different transport tissues: xylem and phloem. The xylem transports water from roots to stems and leaves, while the phloem transports food (i.e. dissolved sugars) from the leaves to all parts of the plant. In roots, vascular tissues form a central core in order to withstand stretching forces. Moreover, in stems, vascular tissues are dispersed (generally concentrated towards the epidermis), in an arrangement that enables them to resist compression and bending forces.

forsale [732]

Answer:

Elastin          

Explanation:

The elastin is defined as an extracellular matrix protein which lends to the elasticity and also resilience to the tissues such as the lungs, skin, arteries,  tendons, and the ligaments.

Elastin synthesized from precursor molecule named tropoelastin.

Elastin is the fibrous protein which gives the skin its flexibility and also helps the skin regain its shape.

2. A food web explains why there are more _____. It is because more energy is available to _____. A. Decomposers than consumers
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A food web explains why there are more producers than consumers. It is because more energy is available to producers.

The food web is a structural representation of the feeding relationship that exists among the living organisms in a particular environment.

A typical food web groups living organisms as producers, consumers, or decomposers. Producers are those that fix sunlight energy into chemical energy, a process known as photosynthesis while consumers are those that either feed on producers or other living organisms in the environment. The decomposers return both producers and consumers back to the earth and help nutrients circulate in the environment.

<em>In a typical food web, producers are usually more than consumers because more energy is usually available at this level. Less and less energy becomes available as we move up the ladder in each food chain that makes up the food web.</em>

The correct option is D.
