Explain the difference between a monohybrid cross and a dihybrid cross, and give an example of each.

1 answer:

4 0

Monohybrid crosses only look at one genotype. Whereas dihybrid crosses look at two genotypes.
An example of a monohybrid cross would be AA x aa, where A represents the dominant allele, and its phenotype is the colour red, and a represents the recessive allele, and its phenotype is the colour white.
An example of a dihybrid cross would be SSYY x SsYy, where the letter S represents the size, dominant phenotype is large, recessive is small, and Y represents the colour, dominant phenotype is yellow, recessive is green.

Why can't more than one sperm enter an egg?

Y_Kistochka [10]

Only one sperm normally fuses with an egg because if more than one sperm fuses, through a process called polyspermy, development of the zygote usually stops.


Fertilization of one egg by two sperm is possible, but the resulting zygote is almost never viable because such a zygote would have three sets of chromosomes instead of the normal two. This condition, called triploidy, is usually incompatible with life. Those rare triploid infants that do survive to term have severe and multiple birth defects and rarely live more than a few days.

What will happen if a plants stomata is blocked

harkovskaia [24]

Does this help?

The glucose (sugar or plants food) is then converted back into carbon dioxide which is vital during photosynthesis. This therefore means that when stomata is blocked photosynthesis will stop because the CO₂ level will decline within the leaf, stopping the reactions that are light-independent.

of the two cells represented in the figure, which would likely be more efficient at exchanging substances with the surrounding e

tia_tia [17]

Cell A is more efficient at exchanging substances due to larger surface area to volume ratio.

Cell A is more efficient at exchanging substances with the surrounding environment than cell B because it has the larger surface-area-to-volume ratio. Larger surface area of the cell exchanges more substances with the surrounding environment while on the other hand, lower surface area of the cell exchanges less materials with the environment so we can conclude that cell A is more efficient at exchanging substances due to larger surface area to volume ratio.

Explain the steps to complete a Punnett Square (monohybrid cross). *

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Determine the parental genotypes. You can use any letter you like but select one that has a clearly different lower case, for example: Aa, Bb, Dd.

Split the alleles for each parent and add them into your Punnett square around the edges.

Work out the new possible genetic combinations inside the Punnett square.
