Answer:
See the explanation
Explanation:
Answer 1. 
As given that in F1 all are short and white then it can be said according to Mendel's law that short and white are dominant over tall and purple.  
Let S for short s for tall and W for white and w for purple allele.
So the genotype of short purple will be Ssww or SSww. So In first case Ssww self crossed then resultant offsprings will be,
................ Sw .................... sw
Sw ........ SSww ............. Ssww
sw ........ Ssww .............. ssww (tall and purple)
So from this 1/4 will be tall and purple while 3/4 will be short and purple.
In second case SSww only short purple progeny will appear.
Answer 2.
2. a) The female progeny will not show any trait because there are two X chromosome in females , so female offspring can be carrier but not show any trait in case of X- linked trait.
2. b) Half of male offsprings show trait because X is inherited from mother. So the chance of having X-linked recessive allele is 1/2.
2. c) The chance of having X linked affect allele in daughter is 1/2. So the chance of inheriting that X to son will be 1/2 so in total there is chance of 1/4 that son will be affected.
2. d) the chance of first child show this trait will be 1/4 in case of male offspring while 0 in case of female offspring.
Hope this helps!
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
The result indicates that taking calcium has no effect on the development of osteomalacia in the women. This is because, of the over 120 women placed on the calcium supplements, it happens to be minimal number of people ( less than 20 people) that develop the osteomalacia disease of the bone.

Explanation:
The Sargasso Sea is constantly considered a lifeless environment, due to its high salinity and temperature, which are considered inhospitable for most species. However, the Sargasso Sea is rich in local species, accounting for more than 200 of them, composed of algae, crustaceans, fish, microorganisms, among others.
