Genetically-engineered bacteria are sprinkled on the oil to digest it.

Explanation:

Genetically engineered or modified microorganisms (GEM or GMO) like bacteria are engaged to digest oil spills through the process called bioremediation.

The enzymatic action of these specialized bacteria to degrade or decompose and remove harmful environmental contaminants. When a leakage occurs in a oil tanker, all the gallons of oil stored in it are leaded into the ocean which poses a very huge danger for the marine environment and to all the biotic factors including humans who are dependent on the marine environment.

Removing the oil spill from the ocean waters is very tough and utilizing such novel technology will be very useful. Bacteria like Alcanivorax, Methylocella are commonly engaged to remove oil spills. These bacteria acts by breaking the hydrocarbon bonds of the oil and will digest and clean the oil spill.

Help please !! I really don’t understand this much☹️

Ok, so I wrote these out just to make it a little bit easier for you to understand what I am about to explain.

So for the first one you have two different traits that can be inherited- having freckles or having no freckles, F and f respectively. The dominant trait (or having freckles) is shown by the capital F, and is almost always expressed over the recessive trait, or the lowercase f. So, for example, if you have a genotype of Ff, the trait having freckles will show up instead of not having freckles. The only way that you could have the trait of no freckles show up is if there are two recessive alleles for having no freckles, or ff. In this case, you have two parents who are both heterozygous for the trait of having freckles, so in other words the mother has Ff and the father has Ff. Each parent passes down one allele to the offspring, so since you are breeding Ff and Ff, you should result in having the possible genotypes of FF, Ff, Ff, and ff. This means that there is a 25% chance that the offspring will be homozygous for having freckles, a 50% chance that the offspring will be heterozygous for having freckles and a 25% chance that they would be homozygous for having no freckles, or a 1:2:1 ratio.

Incomplete dominance is a little bit different that just a normal monohybrid cross. Instead of just the dominant gene showing up in a heterozygous genotype, both traits show up. So like the question says, if a homozygous red flower plant was crossed with a homozygous white flower plant, their offspring would not just be white or red, they would be pink because it is a mixture of white and red. So then if you crossed the heterozygous, or Rr plants, the result would be a 25% chance of getting a homozygous RR red plant, a 50% chance of getting a pink Rr plant, and a 25% chance of getting a white rr plant, or another 1:2:1 ratio.

Sorry for the wordy answer, but hopefully this helps you understand this a little better :)
