Answer:

One offspring would have red leaves.

Explanation:

Given

Yellow leaves are dominant and red leaves are recessive

Let us assume that the trait of Yellow color of a leaf be  represented by "Y"

and the trait of red color of a leaf be  represented by "y"

When two parent of genotype "Yy" are crossed with each other, the following offsprings are produced as shown in the punnet square below

Y y

Y YY Yy

y Yy yy

Total four offpsrings are produced out of which only one has red leave as red color is a recessive trait and it will appear only when both the allele in a cell are of red color.

Thus, one offspring would have red leaves.

<h2>What happens for elements larger than iron to be created? </h2>

Describe the procedure of water reaching the leaves from the roots of a plant
Lisa [10]
The water enters the xylem first by osmosis. Water moves from the soil to the root hair cell down a water potential gradient, and to the root cortex cell from a higher water potential to a lower water potential, this process will be repeated until water enters xylem. Because transpiration is occurring in the leaf, water is lost so there is a lower water potential inside the leaf. Osmosis moves water from the xylem to the leaf because the xylem has a higher water potential. Water moves from the xylem to the cells of the leaf. This pulls water up the xylem via cohesion which is the process of water molecules attracting each other and sticking together. Water does not fall down the xylem as here is adhesion which is the process of water molecules sticking to the inside of the xylem.
