The answers would be:
Genotype Phenotype
Tt Tall stemmed
tt Short stemmed
Genotypic ratio : 2:2 or 1:1
Phenotypic ratio: 2:2 or 1:1
<u />
<u>You can read on to see how this was done:</u>
Tall stems (T) are dominant to short stems (t).
First figure out the genotypes of the parents. We have a short-stemmed plant and a heterozygous long-stemmed plant cross.
For short stem to occur, you need 2 pairs of short alleles. So the first parent would have a genotype of tt.
Heterozygous long-stemmed means that the parent has one of each allele. So the genotype of the second parent would be, Tt.
Now we can make our Punnett Square.
tt x Tt
<u> t t </u>
<u>T | Tt | Tt</u>
<u>t | tt | tt</u>
Let's list down the genotypes and phenotypic results.
Genotype no. Phenotype
Tt 2 Tall stemmed
tt 2 Short stemmed
So from that we can answer the other questions:
Genotypic ratio : 2:2 or 1:1
Phenotypic ratio: 2:2 or 1:1
The main benefit of crossing over is that it increases genetic diversity.
<h2>
Crossing over and
Genetic Diversity</h2>
Crossing over ensures that the daughter cells produced are genetically more diverse than their parent cells.
The exchange of chromosomal segments makes the chromosomes of the daughter cells to be more sophisticated than that of their parents.
Increased genetic diversity in daughter cells increases their chances of survival as more genes are present in their genomes that could potentially make them more adaptable to the environment.
In summary, crossing over increases genetic diversity and genetic diversity increases the chances of survival in the face of changing environment.

The pituitary gland secretes follicle stimulating hormone, which acts on the follicles and stimulates them to produce progesterone.
Newton's law of gravity defines the attractive force between all objects that possess mass. Understanding the law of gravity offers profound insights into the way our universe functions. Newton, upon observing an apple fall from a tree, began to think along the following lines: The apple is accelerated, since its velocity changes from zero as it is hanging on the tree and moves toward the ground. Thus, by Newton's 2nd Law there must be a force that acts on the apple to cause this acceleration. Let's call this force "gravity", and the associated acceleration the "acceleration due to gravity". Then imagine the apple tree is twice as high. Again, we expect the apple to be accelerated toward the ground, so this suggests that this force that we call gravity reaches to the top of the tallest apple tree. <span>Newton knew that the force which caused the apple's acceleration (gravity) must be dependent upon the mass of the apple. And since the force acting to cause the apple's downward acceleration also causes the earth's upward acceleration (Newton's third law), that force must also depend upon the mass of the earth. </span>
C. I believe this is correct
