1. In pea plants, tall (T) is dominant to dwarf (t). Show the cross

Biology
1 answer:
MA_775_DIABLO [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Tt - 2/4 = 1/2 or 50%            Heterozygous TALL

tt - 2/4 = 1/2 or 50%             Homozygous Dwarf

Explanation:

So let's make a Punnett for this so you can see what the outcome is yourself:

Tall is <u>dominant</u> - T

Dwarf is <u>recessive</u> - t

Heterozygous means that they have one of each allele. The genotype of one parent would be then Tt.

***It is heterozygous tall because Tall is a dominant trait so if it is accompanied by the recessive trait dwarf, then the Tall allele would mask it.

The other parent is a dwarf plant. The genotype would then be tt.

*** Now for a recessive trait to appear, it should not have a dominant trait mixed with it, which could mask it. The result then is homozygous recessive or homozygous Dwarf.

So now that we know the genotypes of the parent plants, we can put it into a Punnet:

    t      t

T  Tt   Tt

t   tt    tt

As you can see, out of the 4 outcomes we have:

Tt - 2/4 = 1/2 or 50%            Heterozygous TALL

tt - 2/4 = 1/2 or 50%             Homozygous Dwarf

Explain how chemicals present in cigarette smoke are able to enter the body and reach the brain
kobusy [5.1K]

When you smoke a cigarette, the components; e.g. nicotine and carbon monoxide enter the lungs and are absorbed into the bloodstream. They are carried by the Red Blood Cells to the blood-brain barrier, here, nicotine binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), resulting to a cascade that results to release of dopamine (good-feeling neurotransmitter).

Roles of gases between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Basile [38]

Answer:

  • Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
  • Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6+ 6O2

Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water. While photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. It is the released oxygen that is used by us and most other organisms for cellular respiration. We breathe in that oxygen, which is carried through our blood to all our cells. In our cells, oxygen allows cellular respiration to proceed. Cellular respiration works best in the presence of oxygen. Without oxygen, much less ATP would be produced.

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are important parts of the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle is the pathways through which carbon is recycled in the biosphere. While cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the environment, photosynthesis pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. The exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen during photosynthesis and cellular respiration worldwide helps to keep atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide at stable levels.
