What limits the maximum size of a cell

Biology

Oliga [24]3 years ago

The primary limitation on the size to which a single cell can grow is a mathematical principle called the surface to volume ratio. As the size of a three-dimensional object grows, its volume increases more rapidly than its surface does, which causes metabolic problems for cells. Additionally, the amount of cytoplasm the nucleus can contain and the structural limitations on the cell prevent them from being larger as well.

finlep [7]

Answer:

GG, Gg, Gg, gg

Homozygous green – GG

Heterozygous green – Gg

Homozygous yellow - gg

Explanation:

It is given that allele for green seed pods (G) is dominant to the allele for yellow seed pods (g) which means that if “G” and “g” occur together, a trait associated with G will be expressed.  

The genotype of the true breeding Green plant is “GG”  

The genotype of the true-breeding yellow plant is “gg”  

F1 generation cross  

GG * gg

Offspring produced from F1 generation are – Gg, Gg, Gg, Gg

In f2 generation offspring of F1 generation are crossed among each other.  

So the offspring produced in F2 generation are  

Gg * Gg

GG, Gg, Gg, gg

Homozygous green – GG

Heterozygous green – Gg

Homozygous yellow - gg
