One example of irradiation solving a societal problem might be the way in which it is able to prevent diseases in food. Using small amount of radiation, the bacteria and insects that would otherwise be carrying harmful bacteria can be killed. This will solve a societal problem, in that food wastage and illness due to food poisoning in poverty-stricken areas are massive problems faced in our society.

A plant with the dominant trait, wrinkled seeds, is crossed with a plant that has non-wrinkled seeds. All of the offspring are a
laila [671]
The answer is 0 percent.

If we represent dominant trait (wrinkled seeds) with A and recessive trait (non-wrinkled seeds) with a, then genotypes are AA (dominant homozygous), Aa (heterozygous), and aa (recessive homozygous). The phenotype of wrinkled seed is determined by genotypes either Aa or AA. Since the cross of a plant with wrinkled seed with a plant with non-wrinkled sees gives only wrinkled-seeded offspring, the plant with wrinkled seeds must be dominant heterozygous.
Let's look at both examples.
If wrinked-seeded parent contains one non-wrinkled allele, it must be heterozygous (Aa):

Parents:       Aa      x      aa
Offspring:    Aa    Aa    aa   aa

So, the 50% of offspring has wrinkled seeds and 50% has <span>non-wrinkled seeds. 

If </span><span>the wrinkled-seeded parent does not contain any non-wrinkled allele:
</span>Parents:       AA      x      aa
Offspring:    Aa<span>    Aa    Aa   Aa
</span><span>
Thus, al</span><span>l of the offspring are heterozygous and all of them have wrinkled seeds.</span>

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Dissaster like meteorite impacted all type of living forms, however, animals are impacted the most and plants are impacted least. It is possible due to ability of plants to prepare their food on their own as they are autotrophic and use photosynthesis. The raw material for preparing these are easily available that are sunlight, CO2 and water.

They are not depende on other for their cellular respiration. The other major reason is that the Plant seeds can remain dormant in unfavorable conditions for many years in the soil. The roots always provide nutrition even the stems get effected.

Please Help! What molecules need to travel through ATP synthase to help it create ATP?
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The proton gradient produced by proton pumping during the electron transport chain is used to synthesize ATP. Protons flow down their concentration gradient into the matrix through the membrane protein ATP synthase, causing it to spin (like a water wheel) and catalyze conversion of ADP to ATP.

Explanation:

That's the answer but not all of it just pick out the actual answer.
