Explain the Law of Conservation of Energy.

1 answer:

3 0

The law of conservation of energy is one of the basic laws of physics and therefore governs the microscopic motion of individual atoms in a chemical reaction. The law of conservation energy states:

In a closed system, i.e., a system that isolated from its surroundings, the total energy of the system is conserved.

In SI units, energy has units of Joules. 1 Joule = 1 kgms.

Some forms of energy:

1.Kinetic energy - energy of motion.2.Potential energy - energy of ``location'' with respect to some reference point.3.Chemical energy - energy stored in chemical bonds, which can be released in reactions.4.Electrical energy - energy created by separating charges; energy stored in a battery, for example.5.Thermal energy - energy given off as heat, such as friction.

) Consider a pea plant- it has a gene controlling seed color- yellow Vs green; another gene controlling seed texture-smooth Vs w

lana [24]

Answer:

Yellow smooth - 9

Yellow wrinkle - 3

Green smooth- 3

Green Wrinkle - 1

Explanation:

Let the green color of the seed be depicted by "G" and the yellow color of the seed be depicted by "g"

Let the smooth the seed be depicted by "R" and wrinkled seed be depicted by "r"

F1 cross -

true breeding smooth green plant ( RRGG) and true breeding wrinkled yellow (rrgg)

F1 gamete will be RG, RG, rg, rg

F1 offspring will be RrGg , Thus all F1 offspring will be heterozygous smooth and yellow.

Thus, R is dominant over r and g is dominant over G

F2 Generation –

RrGg x RrGg

Gametes will be RG, Rg, rG, rg

RG Rg rG rg

RG RRGG RRGg RrGG RrGg

Rg RRGg RRgg RrGg Rrgg

rG RrGG RrGg rrGG rrGg

rg RrGg Rrgg rrGg rrgg

R is dominant over r and g is dominant over G

Genotypes are –

RRGG - 1 (Smooth Green)

RRGg-2 (Smooth yellow)

RrGG-2 (Smooth Green)

RrGg-4 (Smooth yellow)

RRgg- 1 (smooth yellow)

Rrgg – 2 (Smooth yellow)

rrGG – 1 (wrinkled Green)

rrGg – 2 (Wrinkled yellow)

rrgg – 1 (wrinkled yellow)

Yellow smooth - 9

Yellow wrinkle - 3

Green smooth- 3

Green Wrinkle - 1

In rabbits, short hair (S) is dominant over long hair (s). What genotype and phenotype ratios are expected from a cross between

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Answer:

Genotype Phenotype

SS 1/4 Short hair 3/4

Ss 2/4 Short hair 3/4

ss 1/4 Long hair 1/4

Explanation:

Both are heterozygous for the trait so we can expect that the cross would be:

Ss x Ss

S s

S SS Ss

s Ss ss

So the resulting off-spring would have the following genotype and phenotype:

1 out of 4 will have a genotype of SS.

2 out of 4 or half will have a genotype of Ss.

1 out of 4 will have a genotype of ss.

But because short hair is dominant the phenotype ratios would differ because Ss and SS would express short hair, so we add up their ration:

Short hair: 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4

Long hair: 1/4

So in summary:

Genotype Phenotype

SS 1/4 Short hair 3/4

Ss 2/4 Short hair

ss 1/4 Long hair 1/4
