Answer:

1 in 16

Explanation:

When two heterozygotes (AaBb x AaBb) for two autosomal genes are crossed the expected probability for the offspring is 9 A-B-, 3 A-bb, 3 aaB- and 1 aabb. In other words, out of sixteen offspring, 9 are expected to be dominant on both genes (either homozygous AA or BB or heterozygous Aa or Bb), 3 are expected to be dominant on the A gene but recessive on the b gene, 3 are expected to be recessive on the a gene but dominant on the A gene, and only 1 is expected to be recessive on both genes aabb.

What benefits do plants with a smooth stem have? Does the stem type protect a plant?
gogolik [260]
<h3><u>Benefits of smooth stem  over rough stem:</u></h3>

Smooth stem plants like guava, eucalyptus etc do have a smooth layer of bark over its stem that comes out as a skin when they shed their barks. Whereas most of the other plants like mango, banyan etc do have a rough corrugated layer of bark over their stem.

The smooth stem doesn’t let water to accumulate in the bark which can led to infections to the tree. It also doesn’t allow any seed to settle on bark that can led to growth of parasites. Thereby this smooth bark saves the trees from some of the probable harm to the tree.

Allisa [31]

Answer:

If they didn't differentiate then the stem cells would stay the same type and if it somehow kept multiplying then they would just be a massive blob with no actual form or way of functioning.

Alinara [238K]
The correct answer should be B. Small regions interspersed with other biomes. This type of a biome is found on all continents and in many countries. It's specific because it's similar to a desert when it comes to yearly precipitation, but it is different insofar that it has a lot of plants and animals that are mostly nocturnal predators.
