If a true-breeding blue-flowered plant was crossed with a true-breeding white-flowered plant, what phenotypic ratio would we obs
Westkost [7]

Answer:

B. 100 percent white

Explanation:

According to Mendel's law of dominance, the dominant allele of a gene masks the expression of the recessive allele in a heterozygous state. Therefore, when two pure breeding plants that differ with respect to one genetic trait are crossed, the progeny expresses only the dominant phenotype. Here, one allele should be completely dominant over the other. The allele for the white flowers is completely dominant over the allele for the blue flowers.

Let' assume that the allele "W" imparts white color to the flowers while the allele "w" gives blue color. When a true-breeding blue-flowered plant (ww) is crossed with a true-breeding white-flowered plant (WW), the progeny would be heterozygous for the dominant allele "W" and would exhibit "white color of flowers" (the dominant trait).

WW (white-flowered plant) x ww (blue-flowered plant) = Ww (white-flowered plant)

How are whales different from fish
irinina [24]

Whales have horizontally positioned tales opposed to fish and they swim in an up and down type of motion to move, where as fish are the exact opposite flexing and turning their body left and right with their vertical tale to move.

Whales have bigger mouths to eat large schools of krill (their main source of food)

And also, whales are mammals, and breathe with their lungs, whereas fish use gills to breathe underwater. I hope this helped! Please mark Brainliest!

sesenic [268]

Answer:

The correct answer is-a polysaccharide found in animals

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide which is a highly branded form of amylopectin. In glycogen glucose residues are joined together by α1-4 glycosidic linkage and α 1-6 branching points occurs after every 8-10 glucose residues.

Glycogen is the main carbohydrate storage form of carbohydrates in animals. Glycogen is mostly present in liver and muscles. It breaks down into glucose and provide energy to the animal during the physical activity. Therefore glycogen is polysaccharide found in animals.

Any time a scientific theory is challenged, it means it's not a good theory.Do you agree with this statement? Explain
vfiekz [6]
False. Any time a scientific theory is challenged, it means it's not a good theory. And this statement is not valid. In theoretical models, they are revisited when there are further studies and discoveries found in a certain area where they can be remodeled and reintegrated instead of disregarding its credibility. Models, theories and paradigms are not challenged but rather encouraged, they are supported in many studies since these theories and models were created in order for us to understand a certain phenomenon but it would likely help the scientific society to be updated in the new forms or spheres of improvement rather than discouragement.
