A cross between a plant with red flowers and a plant with white flowers yielded 47 plants with red flower and 51 plants with whi

te flowers. What are the genotypes of the parent plants?
Biology

nadya68 [22]3 years ago
6 0

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.

The products of the light reactions of photosynthesis are ______.
Pachacha [2.7K]

The correct answer is - B) ATP and NADPH.

The products of the light reactions of the process of photosynthesis are the ATP and NADPH. The small amount of ATP produced in this process and the energy carrier NADHP are crucial for the functioning of the organisms that use the process of photosynthesis, and the reason for that is that these two are used by the organisms to create glucose, or rather sugars, in the process called the Calvin Cycle. The glucose is what these organisms use as their food, a food they they manage to make themselves, thus making them producers. If the light is missing, then the process of photosynthesis can not be performed because the formation of ATP's will be stopped, as well as the formation of NADHP, so the organisms will not be able to produce their own food.

Since each myofibril is attached at either end of the muscle fiber, when sarcomeres shorten, the muscle fiber
zmey [24]

Answer:

B. Shortens

Explanation:

Myofibrils are components of the animal skeletal muscles that are made up of sacromeres. They perform the muscular contraction and relaxation via the sliding filament model.

To produce motion, A cross-bridge forms between actin and the myosin heads triggering shortening of the sacromere. This shortening of the sacromere results in the contraction of the muscle fibers, which the net effect can be seen to be a shortening of the fibers

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

For the half of the radioisotopes of a certain kind to decay into more stable isotope, the amount of time required is called The Half Life.

Radiocarbon dating is typically used to date more recent objects like bones, cloth, wood, and plant fibers.

Sedimentary rocks cannot be accurately dated using isotope dating because this Rock type is formed through the sedimentation of different rocks and minerals fragment.

Using the principle of faunal succession, scientist can determine the age of rocks by the fossil flora and fauna embedded within them.

Explanation:

Carbon dating is a process which is done by the use of carbon 14 atom. It is a special type of atom which can easily help the scientist and expert to find out the age of the fossil of flora and fauna, rocks, animals, birds, etc.
