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.

What is the function of the subplate neurons? Choose the correct option.
Semmy [17]

Answer: C) The subplate neurons attract the appropriate thalamic axons to the different parts.

Explanation:

Subplate neurons are the first developed neurons can be found in the cortex of mammals. These neurons disappear during the process of postnatal development and due to functional maturation.

These neurons are sensitive to the injury, when the humans experience cognitive and motor defects.

These neurons attract the thalamic axons and receive the synaptic inputs through the thalamic axons thus helps in establishing the link between the thalamic axons and the target layer IV. The signals are distributed from the thalamic axons to different parts of the body.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

pressure within the alveoli of the lungs

Explanation:

Pulmonary ventilation involves three different pressures:

Atmospheric pressure

Intra Alveolar (intrapulmonary) pressure

Intrapleural pressure

Atmospheric pressure is the pressure of the air that is exerted outside the body. Intrapulmonary pressure is the pressure exerted inside the alveoli of the lungs. Intrapleural pressure is the pressure within the pleural body cavity.
