Answer: The genotype for the parent organism whose genotype is unknown is Ff.

Explanation: Let (F) represent the allele for purple which is dominant over (f) and (f) represent the allele for white.

The parent organism whose genotype is unknown is heterozygous for purple colour (Ff).

A cross between Ff and ff will produce four offsprings: two of which are Ff (heterozygous for purple colour) and two are ff (white).

Ff x ff = Ff, Ff, ff and ff.

Since (F) is dominant over (f), (Ff) will manifest as purple while (ff) will manifest as white. Therefore, half of the offsprings are purple while the other half are white.

Which of the statements are true? Yeast cells that produce more unsaturated fatty acids than saturated fatty acids in response t

Feliz [49]

Answer:1)Yeast cells that produce more unsaturated fatty acids than saturated fatty acids in response to cold have greater cold tolerance

2)Cell membranes in reindeer legs (near the hooves) are kept flexible because they have a large number of saturated fatty acids.

3.)Cell membranes in cold tolerant winter wheat plants have a higher ratio of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids than do cold intolerant wheat varieties.

Explanation.

Basically the longer the chains of fatty acids the higher the degree of energy produced as heat energy, and therefore the higher the insulation.

Unsaturated fats clogged together and the aggregate carbons and hydrogens ensured insulation.
