<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is D) A virus cannot reproduce itself without a host cell.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Viruses cannot keep themselves in a stable state as they are not made out of cells they don’t grow so they cannot make their own energy.

Though these viruses do replicate and adapt to their environment but they are are more like androids than real living organisms.  

They lack the ability of reproduction without the help of a host cell and do not use the typical cell division approach to replicate.

In the garden pea, tall vine (D) is dominant over dwarf (d), green pod (Y) is dominant over yellow (y) and round seed (W) is dom
siniylev [52]

Answer:

3/8 tall, green, round

3/8 dwarf, green, round

Explanation:

<u>The progeny which are in highest ratio represent parental plants.</u>

Here in the given question, 3 out of 8 progeny are tall, green, round and 3 out of 8 progeny are dwarf, green, round which are the highest in number so they represent parental plants. The reason behind this is that during crossing over only two non-sister chromatids undergo crossing over while two other parental chromosomes remain intact. Out of the 4 chromosome types, 2 remain the same which will result in the same type of genotype of off-springs as of parents. So even if there is 100% chance of crossing over between non sister chromatids still only 50% will be recombinants rest of the 50% will represent parental type.

Another case may be when two genes are very near to each other then it is quite possible that the genes may not undergo crossing over at all in that case there will be no recombinants at all.

So, it simply means that parentals > recombinants or the progeny which are highest in number represent parentals.

In case of unlinked genes, parentals = recombinants.  But, <u>recombinants can never be greater than parentals.</u>

Compare asexual reproduction to sexual reproduction. In your comparison, be sure to include:
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. Sexual reproduction involves combining genetic information from two individuals of different sexes. Asexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical or mostly identical.

Hope this helps!
