-Dominant- [34]4 years ago

Answer:

a) R= allele for red colored flower

I= Allele for ivory flowers

b) Genotype of pink flowered plant: RI

c) Incomplete dominance

d) 100%

Explanation:

When the dominant allele is not able to fully mask the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygous state, it is said to be incomplete dominance. The R and I alleles impart red and ivory color respectively to the flowers of the snapdragon plant. The heterozygous genotype "RI" imparts a pink color to the flowers and therefore, the alleles are said to exhibit incomplete dominance.

The genotype of red-flowered snapdragon plant = RR. The genotype of ivory flowered snapdragon plant= II. When a red-flowered snapdragon plant is crossed with an ivory flowered snapdragon plant, the progeny is heterozygous in nature with the "RI" genotype. The phenotype of the progeny is "Pink flower" since the R allele is incompletely dominant over the allele I.

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Elements and compounds cannot be broken down into simpler substances by an ordinary process because of the following reasons.

1) Elements cannot be broken down by chemical or physical methods because elements is composed of atoms which are indivisible.

During an experiment, Harry enclosed two leaves of a plant in glass flasks labeled A and B. Flask A had water and carbon dioxide
Mamont248 [21]
The answer is the leaf in flask B will not get carbon dioxide to make glucose. The leaf does not get the carbon dioxide as this is absorbed by potassium hydroxide solution, resulting to the absence of glucose made by the process of photosynthesis. Plants use the energy of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, hence photosynthesis would not occur when carbon dioxide is not available.

If there was no testing of the green bean plant before being released to the public, what is an impact that individuals buying t
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
This might not be very accurate but.. I would assume that individuals should be concerned about toxicity levels and it’s overall nutrition. If there was no testing done on this plant before it’s release it could cause severe damage and possible allergic reaction to whoever consumes it. You should also worry about the cleanliness for there are high chances of getting some sort of parasite

What would happen if the dorsal root of a spinal nerve were completely transected?
AnnZ [28]

There would be loss of sensory function

The dorsal root of spinal nerve is the part of the peripheral nervous system that picks up sensory signals/ information and transmits the signal through the nerve to the brain. If the root is damaged or transected, the brain will no longer receive sensory messages from that nerve, which means that the patient will have loss of sensation in that area.
