Answer: has a partial positive and negative charges at each end

Explanation:-

Electronegativity is defined as the property of an element to attract a shared pair of electron towards itself.

A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms. It is also defined as the bond which is formed due to the unequal sharing of electrons between the atoms.

Water is formed by the sharing of electrons between hydrogen and oxygen where the shared pair lies more towards oxygen due to its high electronegativity and thus bears a partial negative charge.Whereas hydrogen being less electronegative bears a partial positive charge.

Lee Ann has two fish. One is heterozygous for orange color, and the other is homozygous recessive for black color. Lee Ann decid

9966 [12]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) O→ orange, o→ black</em>

Explanation:

A dominant allele can be described as the allele which masks the effect of a recessive allele. A recessive allele can be described as the allele whose effect gets suppressed by the dominant allele. A dominant allele is written with a capital letter whereas a recessive allele is referred with a small letter.

As the option A shows capital letter, O, for the dominant orange trait and small letter, o , for the recessive black trait hence, it is the correct option.

1. If a red flower (RR) and a white flower (rr) were crossbred, resulting in 100% Rr, what phenotypes would be seen according to

Digiron [165]

Answer: 1) The phenotype of Rr is Pink according to incomplete dominance.

Incomple dominance occurs when none of the alleles is completely dominant over the other, resulting in blending of the phenotype from the parents. When a red (RR) and a white flower (rr) are crossbred, they result in Rr that is a pink phenotype.

2) According to Codominance, the phenotype of Rr is Red and White flower.

Codominance occurs when both the alleles are equally expressed. In this case allele for Red (R) and white (r) phenotype are expressed equally giving Red and White flower.

3) In Codominance, both the alleles are visible in the hybrid and in Incomplete dominance, intermediate (blend of parental) phenotype is visible in the hybrid.
