During the 1950s, a scientist named Lysenko tried to solve the food shortages in the Soviet Union by breeding wheat that could g

row in Siberia. He theorized that if individual wheat plants were exposed to cold, they would develop additional cold tolerance and pass it to their offspring. Based on the ideas of artificial and natural selection, do you think this project worked as planned?
A. Yes; the wheat probably evolved better cold tolerance over time through inheritance of acquired characteristics.
B. No, because Lysenko took his wheat seeds straight to Siberia instead of exposing them incrementally to cold.
C. No, because there was no process of selection based on inherited traits. Lysenko assumed thatexposure could induce a plant to develop additional cold tolerance and that this tolerance would be passed to the plant's offspring.
D. Yes, because this is generally the method used by plant breeders to develop new crops.

You want to determine whether short wings in fruit flies are the result of a dominant or recessive mutation. You cross a short-w
Natalka [10]

Answer:

a dominant mutation

Explanation:

A monohybrid testcross is a cross-breeding experiment used to determine if an individual exhibiting a dominant phenotype is homo-zygous dominant or heterozygous for a particular phenotypic trait (in this case, wing length). In a monohybrid testcross, a 1:1 phenotypic ratio shows that the dominant parental phenotype was a heterozygote for a single gene that has complete dominance. Moreover, a 3:1 ratio in the F2 is expected of a cross between heterozygous F1 individuals, which means that 75% of individuals with short wings have the dominant allele that masks the expression of the long-wing trait (i.e. the recessive allele).

Answer:

The correct answer is -

1. Archaea are prokaryotic cells. These are one of the two prokaryotic organism domain. the other is eubacteria.

2. Eubacteria cell wall contains peptidoglycan which is composed of sugar and amino acids.

3. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound nucleus or organelles. which distinguishes it from prokaryotic cells.

4. All archaea domain organisms found in extreme conditions such as halophiles, extremophiles, and thermophile.

5. The cell wall of the plant is made of cellulose, a polymer of glucose units.

6. Eubacteria are considered to be the first living organism or form found on earth.

7. Fungi cell walls are made up of a chitin cell wall. which is makes it different from eubacteria and plants.

8. Fungi uses absorption to obtain nutrients. Most of the fungi uses haustaurium to absorb nutrients.

9.Fungi are organism that do not fit in other eukaryotic category. Hence they were classified as separate kingdom in 5 kingdom classification.

10.plants are classifies as autotrophs because they make their own food.These autotrophs serve as primary producers.

11.Corals have a symbiotic relationship with algae. Algae provide food for coral through photosynthesis where as coral provide protection to algae.

12.corals are classified as autotrophs due to their relationship with algae.They are mixotrophs generally because they act as autotrophs with association of algae and capture prey by tentacles thus making heterotrophic nutrition.
