Mendel crossed yellow-seeded and green-seeded pea plants and then allowed the offspring to self-pollinate to produce an F2 gener
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

C. The green allele is recessive to the yellow allele

Explanation:

Complete dominance occurs when one gene variant or allele referred to as the 'dominant allele' completely masks the expression of another allele referred to as the 'recessive allele' in heterozygous individuals, i.e., in individuals carrying one copy of the dominant allele and one copy of the recessive allele for a particular locus/gene (whereas homo-zygous individuals carry the same alleles for a given locus/gene). Mendel crossed pure lines of pea plants, i.e., homo-zygous lines for different traits such as seed color (yellow and green) and seed shape (round and wrinkled). In this case, the parental cross was YY x yy, where the 'Y' allele is dominant and encodes for yellow seed color, and the 'y' allele is recessive and encodes for green seed color. From this cross, Mendel obtained a hybrid F1 (i.e., all progeny was heterozygous with genotype Yy). An expected 3:1 ratio as observed in this case (6,022 yellow and 2,001 green seed >> 3:1 ratio) is characteristic of the progeny that results from mating between F1 heterozygous parents, where each parent has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, i.e., F1 parental cross: Yy x Yy >> F2: 1/4 YY (yellow color); 1/2 Yy (yellow color); 1/4 (green color) >> 3:1 ratio of yellow to green seeds.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:B.The signal is either similar in structure to a ligand used by eukaryotes, or this signaling pathway is utilized by both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Explanation: Eucaryotic cell is a cell whose Nucleus is clearly defined and confined within a membrane.

Procaryotic cell is a cell which does not have a clearly defined Nucleus.

Signals are stimuli which can be felt by an organism, specific organismal have its own kinds of signals which it can respond to,but some times signals with specific features can create response in two or more type or species of organisms. What happened in the lab is a case where a partial signal can be sensed by both procaryotes and eucaryotes because it has either a similar structure or its pathway can be used by either Eucaryotic cells and procaryotic cells.

Natalka [10]

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which producers trap sunlight and makes food by the help some compounds such as carbon dioxide and water. It takes place only during the day as sunlight is available at the daytime only.
