If two orange heliodors have a child, what is the probability their child would be red?

Biology
1 answer:
Stels [109]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

25% or 1/4

Explanation:

The gene for colour in Heliodors is controlled by two contrasting alleles that codes for Red (R) and Yellow (Y) colours. However, these two alleles exhibit incomplete dominance, which is a phenomenon whereby a combination of both alleles gives rise to a third intermediate phenotype that is a blending of the other two parental phenotypes. In this case, both colours gives rise to a heterozygous Orange coloration (RY) in Heliodors.

However, if two orange Heliodors (RY) are crossed, four possible offsprings will be produced with the genotypes: RR, RY, RY, YY. This shows a phenotypic ratio of 1 red: 2orange: 1yellow. Hence, the probability of having a child with red coloration is 1 out of 4 possible offsprings i.e. 1/4.

Expressing this in percentage, we have 1/4 × 100 = 25%.

Nitrogen in the atmosphere must be "fixed" before it can be used by plants. Atmospheric nitrogen is "fixed" by
gladu [14]

Answer:

Atmospheric nitrogen is "fixed" by bacteria.

Explanation:

Nitrogen gas (N2) is the most abundant in the earth's atmosphere, representing 79% of air volume. In organisms, nitrogen atoms are part of several organic substances, such as proteins and nucleic acids. However, most living things cannot use nitrogen in the N2 molecular form. Only a few species of bacteria are able to use it by incorporating nitrogen atoms into their organic molecules and making it available in other molecular forms for use by various species through a process called Biological Nitrogen Fixation. Similarly, the bacteria that perform the fixation are called nitrogen fixers.
