Answer:

The most likely genotypes of the parents is Ss and Ss. This would produce approximately three times the amount of small wings flies.

Explanation:

Small wings (s) is recessive to normal wings (S) in flies. Thus, small wings will be inherited in the recessive condition as ss and the normal wings can be inherited as SS or Ss.

A cross that will produce about three times the amount of the recessive allele which is the small wings is between

        two heterozygote flies

       Ss  x    Ss

    SS   Ss   Ss   ss

            3/4        1/4

The most likely genotypes of the parents is Ss and Ss. This would produce approximately three times the amount of small wings flies.

 3/4 of 34  will give an approximate of 26 and 1/4 of 34 will give an approximate of 8.

Answer:

<em>The correct options are B and C</em>

Explanation:

Option A is false because bacteria fix nitrogen by converting it into ammonia. The ammonia is used by the plants for different functions like development etc.

Option B is correct because plants can take up both ammonium ions and nitrate ions from the soil. They use these ions to make amino acids which are required by the plant for different activities.

Option C is correct because nitrifying bacteria are the bacteria which convert ammonia into nitrites and then nitrates in a process which is termed as nitrification.

Option D is false because herbivores eat plants to make amino acids and proteins.

Which of the following statements is true? Water is the energy source for plant photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is contained in orga
kherson [118]
TRUE. Roots have tiny root hairs that maximize the plant's ability to absorb water.

Root hairs are found in the exterior of the root called epidermis. They are long membranous extensions from epidermal cells. They increase the surface area of the root thereby maximizing its absorption of water and minerals.

Light is the energy source for plant photosynthesis, particularly sunlight.
Chlorophyll is contained in organelles called chloroplasts.
A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen.
