Answer:

One of the parents is heterozygous for red (Rr) and the other is homozygous for white (rr)

Explanation:

The ratio of red flowers to white flowers is roughly 50:50 in this cross (51:47)

Assuming red is the dominant trait, and white is the recessive trait, the parents would be Rr (heterozygous red) x rr (homozygous white).

The resulting punnet square (attached) shows that the genotypes are 50% Rr and 50% rr, which would be 50% red and 50% white. Therefore the parents are RR and Rr.

If red is the recessive phenotype, then the opposite would be true, the white parent would be heterozygous and the red parent would be homozygous.

A patient has an inherited defect in the liver enzyme fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and this results in an abnormally high levels
DedPeter [7]

If the live enzyme fructose 1,6- bisphosphatase defect is occured and this results in an abnormally high levels of lactate in the blood plasme this will result into the lactate will accumulate into the blood.

What is the work of fructose 1,6-biphosphatase enzyme?

In the liver, gluconeogenesis converts lactate to glucose. If FBPase-1 is defective, lactate cannot enter the gluconeogenic pathway in hepatocytes, building up in the blood.

A crucial enzyme in gluconeogenesis is fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase). It is a possible target for drugs used to treat type II diabetes. Additionally, the protein is linked to a rare genetic metabolic disorder, and certain cancer cells lack the activity of the enzyme FBPase, which encourages glycolysis and aids in the Warburg effect.

Eduardwww [97]
A fault that is formed when compression causes the hanging wall to move over the foot wall is known as a Reverse Fault. The Reverse Fault is going to be the opposite of what the normal fault is. The normal fault usually occurs in the region/area that is undergoing the compression.

The moon has a greater effect than the sun on the tides. True or False
kaheart [24]

Sun's Tidal Effect. Even though the Sun is 391 times as far away from the Earth as the Moon, its force on the Earth is about 175 times as large. Yet its tidal effect is smaller than that of the Moon because tides are caused by the difference in gravity field across the Earth.
