NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

<em>The genotype of the plant will be PpSs and the phenotype will be purple colour and smooth shaped. </em>

Explanation:

Considering the description in the question, we know that purple colour is dominant over the yellow colour and smooth shape is dominant over the wrinkled shape.

A homozygous trait can be described as a trait which arises due to the same alleles of a gene. A heterozygous trait arises when both the alleles of a gene are different. In such a case, one allele will be dominant over the other one and the phenotype of the dominant allele will be seen in the plant. As purple colour and smooth shape are dominant traits, hence they will be seen in the heterozygous plant.

Fetal vertebrae develop through endochondral ossification from a preexisting __________ model. The second step of repair of a fr
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

1. hyaline cartilage

2. a fibrocartilage

Explanation:

In endochondral ossification to produce fetal vertebrae, cartilage is substituted with a bone. The process of endochondral ossification includes the development of hyaline cartilage, also called the cartilage model. The hyaline cartilage develops from the chondroblasts derived from mesenchymal cells. The division of chondroblasts results in the growth of hyaline cartilage. It is followed by the development of the primary ossification center wherein the cartilage tissue is replaced with the bone matrix.  

During the repair of these bones, a fibrocartilage callus is formed. Fibroblasts present in the site where the bone is broken produce collagen fibers and the cells derived from periosteum develop into chondroblasts and begin to produce fibrocartilage in this region. The fibrocartilage and collagen fibers together make the fibrocartilage callus that joins the broken ends of the bone.

butalik [34]

Answer:

A food web consists of many food chains. A food chain only follows just one path as animals find food. eg: A hawk eats a snake, which has eaten a frog, which has eaten a grasshopper, which has eaten grass. A food web shows the many different paths plants and animals are connected.
