There are numerous advantages and disadvantages that selective breeding has on food crops. A few of the advantages are; the creation of high quality products, provides a sustainable food chain, eliminates disease and creates new varieties of food crops. A few disadvantages of selective breeding on food crops are; no control over genetic mutations, brings discomfort to animals, creates offspring with different traits, and poses some environmental risks.

What are some of the characteristics of life that plants must fulfill?
PIT_PIT [208]

The most characteristic of the plants which can fulfill is the use of energy, maintain homeostasis,and composed of the cells.

<u>Explanation:</u>

HOMEOSTASIS: It is the property of the living organisms in which the internal system is kept in balance. Plants stay cools in the desert heat through their reflective surface, reduced leaves or the leaves that are parallel to the sun.

USES OF ENERGY: The plant uses the energy of the sun to change the water and the carbon dioxide into the sugar called glucose and it is used by the plants for the energy.

CELLS: It has cell walls, cell membranes, and it is composed of cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose. The cell in the plants varies from species to species.

For each of the following statements, indicate
stepan [7]

The plants that were allowed to self pollinate were the F1 plants.

The plants that are true breeding are P generation plants.

The plants where there were 3times as many tall plants as short plants are in F2 generation.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

This question is based on the Mendel’s Experiment. Sir Gregor Johann Mendel was the father of genetics who experimented on garden pea plants <em>Pisum</em> <em>sativum</em> to see whether the characters got mixed or not and to know the real cause behind different traits of same character in plants.

He took the pure homozygous tall and short plants separately which he called as parental generation or P generation. These plants were homozygous, hence pure breeding.

As these plants were crossed between themselves, then the F1 generation showed all tall plants. This is because of the heterozygous plants which showed character of dominant trait. These plants were allowed to self pollinate.

As a result of self pollination of the F1 plants, the F2 plants were 75% tall in number whereas the other 25% short, which gave the phenotypic ratio of 3:1.

Describe how each of Newton’s laws may be observable during a car trip.
aleksandrvk [35]
According to Newton's first law, an object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Any passengers in the car will also be decelerated to rest if they are strapped to the car by seat belts. Also if a car was going straight but another car (unbalanced force) bumps into it causing the motion of the car to change.
