To solve this problem on genetic dominance, we will need a punnet square.
Let's let P represent purple-flowered and p represent white-flowered.
We have one purple flowered plant with the alleles PP, and we have one white flowered plant with the alleles pp. Using a punnet square, we can determine the alleles of the offspring.
<u>P</u> <u>P</u>
p| Pp Pp
p | Pp Pp
As we can tell from our punnet square, all of our offspring will have purple flowers. This is because the purple-flower allele is dominant and the white-flowered allele is recessive.
Since each flower has a dominant and recessive allele, they are heterozygous.
Therefore, the solution to this problem is D.
B. Heart, because the heart circulates blood throughout your body.
Answer:
a) i) Xylem
ii) Upper epidermis
iii) Stoma
iv) Chroloplast
v) Palisade cell layer
b) By a waxy layer on the cuticle of the leaf
Explanation:
The plant's leaves have a large surface area that is capable of absorbing sunlight. The plant's waxy layer in the surface of the leaf protects it from the loss of water, as well as of diseases caused by the entry of microorganisms. The palisade cell's surface is a single layer of cells underneath the upper epidermis that is adapted to absorb light energy.
The waxy layer is a primary physical barrier composed of insoluble polymers and lipids whose function is to protect the leaves against the entry of harmful organisms including virus, bacteria and fungus. Moreover, the plant's waxy cuticle is also a barrier that prevents the loss of water and solutes.
Answer: Food spoilage
Explanation:
Lipid oxidation cause food spoilage because lipid oxidation is the oxidative degradation of lipids that occur when free hydroxyl attract electron from the fatty acids. These make the lipid radical to be unstable and the fatty acids reacts with oxygen to form fatty acid peroxyl radical which is the major causes of food deterioration. Oxidation occurs by defferent molecular mechanisms such as production of reactive oxygen precursors and free radicals. Continuous occurrence of this can result in lung damage.
