If an individual homozygous dominant for widow's peak has a child with an individual heterozygous for widow's peak, what is the

chance that the child will have a widow's peak?

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

Let PP represent homozygous dominant trait for widow's peak &

Let Pp represent  an individual heterozygous for widow's peak.

If both traits cross together;  the chance that the child will have a widow's peak = ???

i.e PP × Pp

   |     P     |     P

P  |    PP   |     PP        

p  |    Pp   |     Pp

The progeny are: ( PP, PP, Pp, Pp)    

When a trait is dominant, only one allele is required for the trait to be observed. A dominant allele will mask a recessive allele, if present.

From our question, one  parent is homozygous dominant (PP) and the other is  heterozygous (Pp):  therefore  all their offspring will be  two homozygous dominant (PP) and two heterozygous  (Pp) and they will all possess a widow’s peak.

Therefore, the chance that a child will have a widow's peak = 100%

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Following are the two advantages of endoplasmic reticulum.

1) Endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle of the cell which is responsible for the production of protein for the cell. This protein is sent to the Golgi apparatus where it is modified and used by the cell where it is needed.

What evidence best supports the conversation during photosynthesis?
lions [1.4K]

The evidence that best supports conversation during photosynthesis is: Light energy is converted to chemical energy during photosynthesis ( A )

Photosynthesis is the process whereby plants make use of water and carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere to transform/convert the light energy from the sun into chemical energy.in the process of synthesizing food  

The products of photosynthesis include oxygen and glucose while the conversion during photosynthesis takes place when the chloroplast absorbs the light energy from the sunlight and converts it another form of energy ( chemical energy ).

Hence we can conclude that The evidence that best supports conversation during photosynthesis is ; Light energy is converted to chemical energy during photosynthesis.

Since passive transport mechanisms do not require ATP, what principle drives their
Romashka [77]
Passive transport is a naturally occurring phenomenon and does not require the cell to expend energy to accomplish the movement. In passive transport, substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in a process called diffusion.

Which of the following is not a major function of the roots?
Finger [1]
<span>The correct answer is A. Photosynthesis. To conduct photosynthesis, you need chloroplasts and these are found in the leaves which is why the leaves are green. Roots don't have them and they aren't exposed to the sun and don't create energy using photosynthesis. They do however absorb nutrients from the soil.</span>
