According to this study, it may have had to do with the deactivation (technically known as “pseudogenization”) of an umami taste receptor gene. Umami is the taste that makes things like meat, soy sauce, and mushrooms extra yummy. Apparently, at some point in panda evolution, the umami receptor became non-functional. Based on how much the gene has changed, the authors calculate that this happened around the same time that pandas started eating bamboo. Whether it’s cause or effect is unclear, although the authors think the switch to bamboo may have happened before the gene was lost. Regardless, the loss of the gene reinforced the panda’s vegetarian diet because it made meat less delicious to the bears.

What crosses will reasult in all dominant phentotype offspring
Mars2501 [29]

The dominance or recessivity associated with a particular allele is the result of masking, by which a dominant phenotype hides a recessive phenotype. By this logic, in heterozygous offspring only the dominant phenotype will be apparent.

hope this helps!

The process whereby phosphorus is drained away into ground water is called
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

When soluble soil nutrients from the soil are washed away due to to effects of rain,floods or irrigation from agricultural practices the process by which this occurs is called LEACHING. As water molecules pass through different soil layers,soluble soil minerals are dissolved and carried by the water  into the ground water.

Phosphorus is a soluble mineral which  is easily carried away by the passing water molecules,and therefore drained from plants' roots.

if these were leached  into rivers and drinking water,this may affect the water supply of the community as the percentage of Phosphorus increases in the water especially if  NPK fertilisers were used.

In addition, some important solid nutrients are also leached into the underground soil layer leading to deficiencies in the plants.
