Answer:

25% heterozygous tall

Explanation:

If we take the F1 generation as parents and let them self-fertilise, we have 4 crosses.

The first one for homozygous tall, then we have 100% AA.

The second and third one for heterozygous tall and we have 25% AA, 50%Aa and 25%aa for each of them.

The last one would be for dwarf, and we'll have 100%aa.

Adding all of them, we'll have

AA = 100 + 25 + 25 = 150%

Aa =  50+50 = 100%

aa = 100 + 25 + 25 = 150%

as we had 4 crosses, so dividing the total percentages by 4, we'll have,

AA = 37.5%

Aa = 25%

aa = 37.5%

:. The percentage of heterozygous tall would be 25%.

Hope it helps:)

A scientist receives a seed sample from a plant growing in an unknown location and discovers that prolonged cold treatment is ne
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

a.  occurs right before the best growing season

Explanation:

Seed dormancy prevents seeds from germinating in unsuitable conditions such as competing for light and water with other plants or being able to be eaten from a high population of herbivores species during certain seasons.

If a dormant seed is broken after prolonged cold treatment, then this cold part of the year occurs right before the best growing season for this dormant seed. The native habitat of the plant must have an undetermined and cold season that breaks seed dormancy.

Why is the Calvin cycle considered a dark reaction?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The correct answer for this question is (D) It can proceed in the dark.

Calvin cycle is named after Melvin C. Calvin, who won a Nobel prize in chemistry for finding it in 1961. Calvin cycle take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis and it is a <u>light-independent reaction so also called as dark reaction.</u>

The Calvin cycle proceeds in three stages:

1. Carboxylation, during which CO2 combines with ribulose-1,5- bisphosphate

2. Reduction, during which carbohydrate is formed at the expense of photochemically made ATP and NADPH

3. Regeneration during which the CO2 acceptor ribulose-1,5- bisphosphate is formed again so that the cycle continues.
