MAVERICK [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Metabolism involves exchanges of chemical matter with the external environment and extensive transformations of organic matter within the cells of a living organism. Metabolism generally involves the release or use of chemical energy. Nonliving things do not display metabolism.

How would earths atmosphere be different if organisms capable of photosynthesis has not evolved?
katrin2010 [14]
The Earth's atmosphere would have little or no oxygen. A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen. Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use energy from the sun to make their own food in the leaves. The process uses sun light, water and carbon dioxide to yield oxygen and simple sugars. The simple sugars are stored in form of starch for future use by the plants, while oxygen is either used for cellular respiration or released to the atmosphere. The process of photosynthesis adds oxygen to the atmosphere and uses carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Write an essay how water moves from the soil to leaves of a mesophyte
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Water moves from the soil to the leaves of mesophytes by osmosis and xylem conduction.

<h3>What are mesophytes?</h3>

Mesophytes are plants that are adapted to moderate water environments only. In other words, they cannot survive extremely or extremely wet environments.

Water moves from the soil to the leaves of mesophytes as follows:

1. Water moves into the root hair by osmosis

2. Water is conducted upward from the root hairs by special cells known as xylems.

3. Conducted water reaches various plant parts, including leaves.

In chickens, comb shape is determined by genes at two loci (R, r and P, p). A walnut comb is produced when at least one dominant
Ivenika [448]

Answer and Explanation:

<em><u>Available data</u></em>:

  • Comb shape is determined by genes at two loci (R, r and P, p).
  • The walnut comb genotype is R_P_.
  • The rose comb genotype is R_pp.
  • The pea comb genotype is rrP_.
  • The single genotype is rrpp.

a. <em>Walnut crossed with single produces 1 walnut, 1 rose, 1 pea, and 1 single offspring: </em>

                     rp    RrPp    Rrpp   rrPp   rrpp

F1 phenotype: 25% walnut, 25% rose, 25% pea, and 25% single.

F1 genotype: 4/16 RrPp, 1/16 Rrpp, 4/16 rrPp, 4/16 rrpp.

b. <em>Rose crossed with pea produces 20 walnut offspring</em>.

                     rP    RrPp    RrPp   RrPp   RrPp

F1 phenotype: 100% walnut.

F1 genotype: 16/16 RrPp.

c. <em>Pea crossed with single produces 1 single offspring</em>.

This is not possible, because the pea genotype involves <u>at least</u> one dominant allele P. There are two possible crosses: <em>rrPp x rrpp</em>, which must produce half of the progeny pea and the other half single, or <em>rrPP x rrpp</em> which produce a whole pea progeny with no single offspring.  

Parental)              rrPp       x          rrpp

F1 phenotype: 50% pea, and 50% single.

F1 genotype: 8/16 rrPp, 8/16 rrpp.

d. <em>Rose crossed with pea produces 2 walnut, 1 single, and 1 pea offspring</em>.

This is not possible, because having one of the parents with a rose phenotype  involves <u>at least one R allele</u>, which means that <u>there must be rose phenotype</u> in the progeny.

F1 genotype: 4/16 RrPp, 1/16 Rrpp, 4/16 rrPp, 4/16 rrpp.

F1 phenotype: 100% rose (31 individuals equal 100% of the progeny).

F1 genotype: 16/16 Rrpp.
