Answer : The correct option is, a solution that can receive any amount of acid or base to form a neutral solution.

Explanation :

Buffer : It is defined as a solution which prevent the any changes in the pH on the addition of an acidic and basic components.

Or we can say that, buffer is a solution that maintain the pH of the solution by adding the small amount of acid or a base.

As we know that there are two types of buffer which are acidic buffer and basic buffer.

Acidic buffer : It is defined as the solution that have the pH less than 7 and it contains weak acid and its salt. For example : Acetic acid (weak acid) and sodium acetate (salt).

Basic buffer : It is defined as the solution that have the pH more than 7 and it contains weak base and its salt. For example : Ammonia (weak base) and ammonium chloride (salt).

Hence, the correct option is, a solution that can receive any amount of acid or base to form a neutral solution.

The brain is the center of our thoughts, the interpreter of our external environment, and the origin of control over body movement.

Mumz [18]
When crossing alleles for color, you get
25% pp
50% Pp
25% PP
White flowers are recessive, so there is a 1/4 chance

And when crossing alleles for shape you get
25% rr
50% Rr
25% RR
Wrinkled seeds are recessive so there is a 1/4 chance


Since you are looking for white flowers AND wrinkled seeds, you need to multiply 1/4 x 1/4, giving you a 1/16 chance that the offspring will have these two traits
