In a given hybridization between two flowers, red "R" is dominant, and white "r" is recessive. In a cross between two white-flow

ered plants, what statement would BEST describe the offspring? A) 75% of the flowers would be white and the remaining 25% would be red. B) There would be some variation; most flowers would be white and a few would be red. C) There would be no variation in color. All flowers will be white unless a mutation occurred. D) Flower color variation would be equally divided given the homozygous parents: half red and half white.

Answer:

C) There would be no variation in color. All flowers will be white unless a mutation occurred.

Explanation:

A recessive phenotype is generated in an offspring when the offspring receives <u>both the recessive alleles</u> for a trait from each of its parent. So if a progeny has white phenotype then it simply means that it does not have any dominant allele because dominant allele masks the expression of recessive allele and produces a dominant phenotype. Here, red "R" is dominant while  white "r" is recessive.

The Punnett square diagram for a cross between two white-flowered plants is attached.

It is clear from the diagram that all the progeny will have recessive "rr" genotype so all of them will have white flowers.

But, in case a mutation occurs in those plants which changes the recessive allele (r) to dominant (R) or any other variant allele then only some variations in flower color  may occur.

Androgynous behaviors are solely the product of biological sexual differences.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Androgenous behaviors is not solely the product of biological sexual differences, such as the ability to bear children. It is also regarded as product of evolution and natural selection where an individual may be androgynous, displaying feminine and masculine characteristics or traits based on one’s gender identity and learned gender role. This can be made possible through the ongoing social interactions that individuals have with each other.

Answers questions . why are estuaries, such as the pamlico estuary, so important? . how would you be able to determine from whe
GaryK [48]
Estuaries, often reffered to as the nurseries of the sea provide feedind habitats for many aquatic animals and plants. Fish and shellfish commonly eaten in the U.S such as oyesters and Salmon complete almost half of their lifecycles in estuaries. Due to its shallow water,Pamlico estuary especially provides opportunities such as Fishing, crabbing and watersports as well.
We can be able to determine this concept by basing our facts on two concepts. Nutrient Influx, upon reaching the estuarian ecosystem, the nutrients in the presence of sunlight undergoes photosynthesis and produce phytoplanktons. Basically, where there is sunlight, we can assume there is a nutrient influx. Presence of Phytoplanktons will in turn help attract animals such as fish. Also, another contribution of nutrient influx is manure produced by the animals

Sewage treatment plans and fertilizer runoff. Auto emissions of nitrogen, fertilizers applied on golf courses and home gardens can contribute. Some plankton species may produce toxins that might cause these outbreaks

Which of the following correctly matches the equilibrium receptor organs to the type of equilibrium it monitors?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. maculae/ static equilibrium.

Explanation:

Maculae are mechanoreceptors present inside the saccule and utricle specialized for the static equilibrium detecting. Maculae use hair cells to find out the movements of the otolithic membrane occurs, which is the surrounding membrane of the macula.

The sense of the position of the head to determine the stability and posture is static equilibrium and it is determined by the maculae.

Thus, the correct answer is option- B. maculae/ static equilibrium.
