Answer:

50%

Explanation:

The allele present on each chromosome determines whether or not that chromosome has a knob. Suppose that one member of each of two pairs of homologs in a corn plant has a knob.

This means that on a chromosome with two chromatids, the allele present on one chromatid causes the chromatid to possess knob while the other does not making the plant an heterozygous...

If this plant is crossed with a knobless plant, one whose Chromebook is without knobs, we have

II x II

II - 50% with a knobbed chromatid

II - 50% with only knobless chromosomes.

The first to the left is knobbed, thus the percentage of offspring expected to have only knobless chromosomes would be 50%.

If you were able to walk into an opening cut into the center of a large redwood tree, when you exit from the middle of the trunk
strojnjashka [21]
If you were to cross a large redwood tree, like for an example a sequoia, from the middle of the trunk you would first cross the annual rings, indicators of the trunk growth over the years, then after that you would cross the phloem, the ''piping'' of the tree responsible for the transport of water throughout the tree and in the end you would cross the tree's bark, the protective layer on surface of the trunk.
