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.

C, since rr and rr together cannot make Rr or RR.

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.

What is the role of ATP when large molecules need to be transported across the cell membrane against the concentration gradient?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

b. the bond between the phosphate groups is broken to release energy

Explanation:

  • Phosphate groups are negatively charged => there is a pull between the two groups

=> it's easy to break this bond & ATP is unstable

=> ATP has a lot of free energy

  • breaking the bond between phosphate groups makes the molecules more stable (aka contains less free energy)

=> delta G <0

=> breaking this bond releases energy

  • the energy released by ATP is then used to transport large molecules against the concentration gradient
