In corn, small pollen (sp) is recessive to normal pollen (sp+) and banded necrotic tissue, called zebra necrotic (zn), s ssive t

alex41 [277]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Please see the attached image

Given -

Allele for small pollen is "sp"

Allele for normal pollen is "sp+"

and "sp+" is dominant over "sp"

Allele for zebra necrotic tissue is "zn"

Allele for normal necrotic tissue is "zn+"

and "zn+" is dominant over "zn"

Cross is carried out between

sp+ sp zn+ zn x sp+ sp zn+ zn

The gametes of the parent cells are -

sp+ zn+, sp+zn, spzn+, spzn

The cross would be as follows

sp+ zn+ sp+zn spzn+ spzn

sp+ zn+ sp+ sp+ zn+ zn+sp+ sp+ zn+ znsp+ sp zn+ zn+ sp+ spzn+ zn

sp+zn sp+ sp+ zn+ znsp+ sp+ zn znsp+ sp zn+ zn sp+ sp zn zn

spzn+ sp+ sp zn+ zn+sp+ sp zn+ znsp sp zn+ zn+ sp sp zn+ zn

spzn sp+ sp zn+ zn sp+ sp zn zn sp sp zn+ zn sp sp zn zn

Hence, option B is correct

Which of the following is homozygous dominant? a AA b Aa c aa

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: a). AA

Explanation: Every trait is controlled by at least a pair of gene. Genes have different forms known as alleles. Alleles can be dominant or recessive. A dominant allele expresses itself in the presence of a recessive allele and masks the effect of a recessive allele. A recessive allele cannot express itself in the presence of a dominant allele and it's effect is masked by a dominant allele. Dominant alleles are usually written in upper cases such as A, T, while recessive alleles are usually written in lower cases such as a, t. The two alleles that determines a trait is called a genotype. A genotype can be homozygous if the two alleles are identical such as in AA or aa

and can be heterozygous if the two alleles are not identical such as in Aa, Tt.

The bicep muscle has an attachment point at the shoulder and one in the upper forearm. Look at these images of the bones of the

Lerok [7]

The answer is A.
If the bicipe muscle contracts it will bring the forearm up because the insertion of this muscle is in the forearm.
One of the functions of this muscle is flexing the elbow, which would result in the action i already mentioned.
It couldn't be B, because that would be the work of another muscle, the triceps.
