Answer:

Dominant character is expressed in both the condition i.e. heterozygous and homozygous.

Explanation:

In genetic the dominant allele is signified by capital letter and the allele which is recessive is signified by the smaller letter. The dominant character can be expressed in both the condition that is homozygous dominant(TT) or heterozygous dominant(Tt).

Therefore even the presence of a single allele of dominant character in the gene, the dominant character can mask or suppress the recessive trait from being appeared in the phenotype. Therefore pea plant that is heterozygous for the tallness trait have the dominant phenotype.

Explanation:

The plant is utilizing CO2 in photosynthesis

Photosynthesis produces glucose and O2 from inorganic CO2, light energy and water.

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Bromothymol blue, an acid indicator, goes from blue to yellow when reacting with acid. The color change in sunlight confirmed the use of CO2, dissolved within the solution as carbonic acid- its removal from the solution makes the more basic, and the solution goes from yellow (acidic) to blue (alkaline).

CO2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released.

Occuring in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, it depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. Water supplies chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II.

Additionally,

water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent; it reduces the molecule NADP to NADPH by providing H+ ions and produces molecules of the energy storage molecule ATP through an electron transport chain.
This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.
Later, in dark reactions, NADP and NADPH are used in the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules. These store energy in their bonds, which can be released in respiration in the mitochondria.

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’s cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycoysis). The electron transport chain, in which oxygen functions as the terminal electron acceptor occurs in both plants and animals.

The ribosome of the bacterium E. coli includes the ribosomal protein L4 (rpl4). The rpl4 gene carries the instructions for makin

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Every organism possesses in its ribosome a protein that is similar to rpl4. This protein has an amino acid sequence that is similar to the sequence of E. coli’s rpl4.

Explanation:

Phylogenetic tree is a diagram which represents the similarities between different organisms and shows their evolutionary histories.

The presence of a similar genetic sequence or amino acid sequence shows that the gene is common in all those organisms. This means that all organisms had a common ancestor through which the gene or amino acid was transferred. The genetic r amino acid sequence remained common in all the different organisms.

Explain how drooping of leaves on a hot sunny day is advantageous to a plant

Art [367]

Plants will usually droop their leaves and wilt on a hot day due the amount of water they're not receiving. This can be advantageous to a plant because this releases moisture in the air called <span>transpiration.

Hope that helps. -UF aka Nadia</span>

Small body (nb), short spines (Is) and amoral are three recessive traits in stick the genes of which are linked on the same chro

melomori [17]

Answer:

The three genes in coupling are in repulsion.

Explanation:

Coupling happens when the dominant alleles and the recessive alleles are on the same homologous chromosome, while the repulsion happens when one chromosome has one dominant allele and one recessive allele and another homologous chromosome also has dominant and recessive alleles.

If the progeny has:

nb+ ls+ a/nb ls a ⇒ nb+ ls+ a

nb ls a+/nb ls a ⇒ nb ls a+

Where nb+ ls+ a is the dominant alleles and nb and nb+ is in middle.

ls+ nb+ are on the same chromosome (both dominant)

ls nb are on the same chromosome (both recessive)

ls nb, these two are in coupling with each other, but ls+ and a are on the chromosome and ls+ or nb+ are dominant, while nb+ and a are recessive on form a, thus, ls and nb, they are in repulsion with a.
