In a certain species of plant, flowers occur in three colors: blue, pink, and white. A pure-breeding pink plant is mated with a

pure-breeding white plant. All of the F1 are blue. When the blue F1 plants are selfed, the F2 occurs in the ratio 9 blue:3 pink:4 whitE. How many gene pairs control the flower color phenotype?

Answer: If the F2 occurs in the ratio 9 blue:3 pink:4 white, one gene pair (i.e 2 genes) control the flower color phenotype.

Explanation: This principle is called INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE where one gene (dominant) won't completely override the other (recessive).

Let assume B represents the dominant gene and b represents the reccesive gene. Let also assume that Blue color is dominant over white color. We can assign the genotype as follows;

Homozygous dominant genes BB will produce Blue color

Homozygous recessive genes bb will produce white color

Heterozygous genes Bb will produce pink color.

Therefore, a pair of gene ( 2 genes) will determine the flower color phenotype.

What information can you get about earthquakes location from only two seismic stations data?
maksim [4K]

<u>Answer</u>:

From only two seismic stations data we can get the direction from which the Earthquake originated.

<u>Explanation</u>:

When the information taken into consideration from only one station, it tells us about the epicenter of the earthquake could at any point on that circle. when the information comes from two stations, the circles intersect at  2  points, so there are possibility  of having two epicenters. With three stations, the circles intercept at only one point, which must be the epicenter. The sesmic station present in the network helps in measuring the movement of plates from the ground motion. the signature sesmograph tells us about the bigger earthquakes.

Solutions having osmotic pressures more than those of body fluids are called Group of answer choices hyposmotic. neosmotic. hype
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

hyperosmotic

Explanation:

Osmosis across a membrane occurs in nature as a result of concentration gradient i.e. difference in the solute concentration. Based on the concentration of solute in a solution which determines the osmotic pressure, a solution can either be hyperosmotic, hypoosmotic or isosmotic.

A hyperosmotic solution is that solution which contains more solute concentration in relation to another solution. In essence, a hyperosmotic solution will have more osmotic pressure than that of the body fluid. This will cause water to flow out of the body into the solution.
