Which of the following statements correctly describes how Mendel accounted for the observation that traits had disappeared in th

e F1 generation and then reappeared in the F2 generation?
A) Traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were "hidden" by the dominant ones in the F1.
B) New mutations were frequently generated in the F2 progeny, causing traits that had been lost in the F1 to reappear in the F2.
C) Members of the F1 generation had only one allele for each trait, but members of the F2 had two alleles for each trait.
D) The mechanism controlling the appearance of traits was different between the F1 and the F2 plants.

Answer:

A) Traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were "hidden" by the dominant ones in the F1.

Explanation:

Mendel discovered the fundamental theory of heredity: that inheritance involves the passing of genes (he called it discrete units of inheritance), from parents to offspring. Those genes are with two alleles in the genotype, one inherited from the father and other inherited from the mother.

When he cross-bred pure-bred parent (always produced offspring identical to the parent) plants dominant traits were always seen in the offspring, while recessive traits were hidden until the first-generation (F1) hybrid plants were left to self-pollinate. Mendel also noticed that in second-generation (F2) of the offspring 3:1 was ratio of dominant to recessive traits.

what genetic information can be obtained from a punnett square? What genetic information cannot be determined from a punnett squ
aleksley [76]
A punnet square determines all of the ways in which alleles can combine. It may be used to predict ratios of offspring genotypes and phenotypes. However, Punnet squares cannot determine actual outcomes. They can only predict the possibility for things to happen. The exception to this takes place when the cross occurs with two homozygous dominant or recessive genes and the resulting offspring is either be 100% homozygous dominant or recessive.

Describe three examples of materials that have resulted from a lack of decomposer activity
erastova [34]

The decomposers are of two kinds, aerobic decomposers and anaerobic decomposers. The aerobic decomposers need the oxygen from the air to break down the dead and decaying matter into simple salts, sugars and hydrocarbon gases. The anaerobic decomposers do not require oxygen for the break down of dead and decaying matter. They break down the matter into various forms of hydrocarbons, sulphides and nitrogenous compounds.

When a dead and decaying matter gets buried deep within the Earth where there is an absence of the decomposers, it takes the form of crude oil, coal, peat, asphalt, and natural gas. The matter gets compressed by the weight of the rocks above and changes its form.
