In genetics, the dash symbol (–) is a "wild card" that stands for either the dominant allele or the recessive allele; for exampl

e, A– means the individual has either the genotype AA or Aa. Two genes that undergo independent assortment affect the shape of the seed capsule in the broadleaf weed known as shepherd's purse. Each gene has two alleles, one of which is dominant for the shape of the seed capsule. Genotypes of the form A– B–, A– bb, and aa B– have triangular seed capsules, whereas the seed capsules of aa bb genotypes are ovoid. What ratio of triangular : ovoid is expected from the cross Aa Bb x Aa Bb?

Answer:

1/16 are ovoid

Explanation:

Hello!

From an AaBb genotype we can obtain four possible gametes AB, Ab, aB and ab.  With the Punnett square we can observe the crossing.  In the second Punnett square we can see the form A– B–

AB          Ab           aB          ab

AB AABB AABb AaBB AaBb

Ab AABb AAbb AaBb Aabb

aB AaBB AaBb aaBB aaBb

ab AaBb Aabb aaBb aabb

AB          Ab          aB          ab

AB A-B-  A-B-  A-B-  A-B-

Ab A-B-  A-bb A-B-        A-bb

aB A-B-  A-B-  aaB- aaB-

ab A-B-  A-bb aaB- aabb

The genotypes of the form A– B–, A– bb and aa B– have triangular seed capsules (15 of 16), while the seed capsules of the aa bb genotypes are ovoid (1 of 16).

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

E-You disagree because the resulting increase in phytoplankton at the surface would inhibit sunlight from penetrating into the water, thus inhibiting photosynthesis in the submerged plants.

Explanation:

Eutrophication is the process wherein nutrients specifically phosphorus and nitrogen are present in excess in a water body such as a lake. The increased concentration of nutrients promoter the growth of cyanobacteria and algae such as phytoplankton.

The increased population of phytoplankton in surface water reduces the oxygen availability and clarity of water for the organisms present in deeper layers.  Also, reduced clarity of water limits the amount of solar radiations penetrating the surface water to reach the deeper layers.

Increased nutrient levels of the lake would rather inhibit the growth of submerged plants due to reduced availability of sunlight as caused by presence of phytoplankton in surface water.

For which one of the following functions is parenchyma tissue particularly suited?
serious [3.7K]

Reinforcement and support

parenchyma, in plants, tissue typically composed of living cells that are thin-walled, unspecialized in structure, and therefore adaptable, with differentiation, to various functions. The cells are found in many places throughout plant bodies and, given that they are alive, are actively involved in photosynthesis, secretion, food storage, and other activities of plant life. Parenchyma is one of the three main types of ground, or fundamental, tissue in plants, together with sclerenchyma (dead support tissues with thick walls) and collenchyma (living support tissues with irregular walls).

predict if the sensory nerves in a persons foot are nonfunctional, would the person feel pain if the foot was severely burned
irina1246 [14]
Nerves are cells that can detect any type of pressure, movement, or anything of that nature. If we didn't have nerves, we couldn't feel pain. If the nerves in a foot are damaged, you wouldn't feel the pain of it being burned.
