Answer:

1. 128

2. 16,384

Explanation:

Imagine there were two pairs of chromosomes:

A paired with B

C paired with D

A gamete could have the following combinations:

A + C

A + D

B + C

B + D

Therefore, with two pairs of chromosomes, there are 4 (2²) possibilities

With seven pairs of chromosomes, there are  (2⁷) possibilities. 2⁷  = 128

For a zygote produced by two barley parents, there are two gametes fused. So we must multiply the number of combinations for each gamete. Therefore, number of possible genetic combinations is 128 x 128 = 16,384

Explain why plants along the road often die after the road is sprayed with a salt solution to melt ice
vovangra [49]

Explanation:

The salt solution is meant to lower the ice melting point hence keep most of the water from turning into ice even at zero degrees temperatures. The salts are dissolved in the water to form a salty solution that percolates the ground and reach plant roots. Because the salty water is hypertonic (more concentrated) to the cell cytoplasm of the plant roots, water is drawn from the plant by osmosis. This is the reversal of normal plant root absorption of water from the soil. This causes the plant root to wither and subsequently the whole plant to die. Remember in osmosis, water moves from the less concentrated solution to the more concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane.

katrin [286]

Respiration is process where plant produce heat  

Explanation:

Respiration is essential component for every living thing this. Respiration help living thing get energy and stay alive. In plant cellular respiration is used to convert nutrient which is present in soil and this process can be understand as a cellular activity. In plants seeds play vital role.

The basic difference between respiration and photosynthesis is in respiration plant consume nutrient for survival and alive plant cell but in photosynthesis plant is able to make their own food.  In respiration only plant produce heat energy

<u>The formula of Respiration: </u>

Oxygen + glucose – Carbon dioxide + water + heat energy  

<u>The formula of Photosynthesis </u>

Carbon dioxide + Water + Sunlight – Oxygen + glucose
