Answer:

D) tt

Explanation:

Short plants must have two alleles for shortness. They are called homozygous recessive or tt.

Answer:

The correct answer would be D) tt.

Recessive traits need a homozygous condition to get expressed and to produce a particular phenotype. In contrast, dominant trait can be expressed  in homozygous as well as heterozygous condition of the alleles of a gene.

Now, shortness is a recessive trait encoded by allele "t". Hence, allele "t" must be present in the homozygous condition in order to make the plant short.

Thus, the genotype of all the short plants in the field should be tt and the genotype of the tall plants would be TT or Tt.

2 C2H6 + 702 — 4 CO2 + 6H2O
Andreas93 [3]

We calculate the number of moles of water given its mass by dividing the mass by the molar mass.  

                              n water = (36.04 g) / (18 g/mol)  

                               n water = 2 mols

From the given balanced equation, every 6 moles of water produced will require 7 moles of oxygen.

                               n oxygen = (2 mols H2O) x (7 moles O2 / 6 moles H2O)

                               n oxygen  = 2.33 mols O2

What is needed to estimate species relatedness with a molecular clock?
Dvinal [7]


Out of the following given choices;

A. DNA accumulates mutations at a regular rate

B. known mutation rate for a gene

C. the number of differences in DNA sequences for a gene in two species

D. the same gene identified in two species

E. All answers are corrects

 

The answer is E. The molecular clock used rates of mutation to determine the prehistoric time when two species that share a common ancestor diverged. The benchmarks for determining the mutation rate are often fossil or archaeological dates.
