Answer:

15 chromosomes

Explanation:

The endosperm is formed through double fertilization where one male gamete nucleus with polar nuclei to form a triploid nucleus called the primary endosperm. The endosperm therefore will contain 15 chromosomes since the polar nuclei is diploid and the male gamete is haploid forming a triploid nucleus.

How does sugar leave the phloem?

mars1129 [50]

The high turgor pressure drives movement of phloem sap by “bulk flow” from source to sink, where the sugars are rapidly removed from the phloem at the sink. Removal of the sugar increases the Ψs, which causes water to leave the phloem and return to the xylem, decreasing up

1. Draw and label the parts of an ATP and ADP molecule. . 2. Explain (in diagrams) how energy can be \"stored\" using ADP and a

zlopas [31]

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consists of an adenosine molecule bonded to three phophate groups in a row. In a process called cellular respiration, chemical energy in food is converted into chemical energy that the cell can use, and stores it in molecules of ATP. This occurs when a molecule of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) uses the energy released during cellular respiration to bond with a third phosphate group, becoming a molecule of ATP. So the energy from cellular respiration is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups of ATP. When the cell needs energy to do work, ATP loses its 3rd phosphate group, releasing energy stored in the bond that the cell can use to do work. Now its back to being ADP and is ready to store the energy from respiration by bonding with a 3rd phosphate group. ADP and ATP constantly convert back and forth in this manner.

Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If two

andrew11 [14]

The correct answer is B. The parents are heterozygous with polka-dot tails, so they both have Pp genotype. The combination of their genotypes (Pp x Pp) could produce 4 genotypes PP, Pp, Pp and pp. Therefore, there is 25% chance for a PP genotype, 25% for a pp genotype and 50% for a Pp genotype. The PP and Pp genotypes produce a polka-dot tail phenotype and the pp genotype produces a solid coloured tail phenotype. In conclusion, there is 75% chance for a polka-dot tail (25% for a PP + 50% for a Pp) and a 25% for a solid coloured tail phenotype (25% for a pp).

Give any two difference between digestive system in humans and digestive system in ruminants

Otrada [13]

Answer:

Hey mate......

Explanation:

This is ur answer.....

1. Ruminant stomachs have four compartments, and monogastric stomachs have only one compartment. Ruminants are able to digest grasses and other fibrous feeds better than animals with monogastric systems can.

 

2. The bacteria can digest fiber allowing the dairy cow to consume grass, forages, and fibrous by-product feeds that humans or monogastric animals cannot do effectively. The abomasum is the stomach compartment similar to the human stomach.
