You would have a 3 out of 4 chance of getting a purple flower if purple is the dominant trait.

Answer:

A heterozygous trait contains two different allelic forms of a gene in which one is a dominant allele and one is recessive allele. If there is a crossing between two plants that are heterozygous for their trait then the probability of expression of the dominant allele is 3/4.

So according to this question plants are heterozygous that means the genes would be like Pp and Pp. Here P indicates the purple color allele which is dominant and p indicates recessive white color allele.

Therefore cross between these two will give genotypes PP, Pp Pp, and pp. So according to the law of dominance that says dominant allele will express itself, therefore, probability of purple-flowered offspring is 3/4 because 3 out of four genotypes have the dominant allele.

What could be some benefits and drawbacks of artificial selection?
hammer [34]
The benefits of artificial selection is that you've taken the traits that you desire from a plant or an animal that could benefit your own survival. (Much like our ancestors bred the highest/most efficient crops, leaving us in a good farming position today). However, the drawbacks of artificial selection is that you effectively destroy any natural selection or "survival of the fittest" thus reducing the gene pool. If a virus or bacteria was effective against a crop that we bred, it would destroy our entire farming industry (also works with animals that we breed).

The rock in the picture is rhyolite, an extrusive igneous rock. Based on its appearance, how would you classify this rock? ​
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

The Rock is picture is Felsic.

Explanation:

Rhyolites are volcanic rocks that are igneous. The main component of these rocks is Silica and based on silica content they are termed as Mafic, Felsic, Intermediate and ultramafic. Felsic rocks have the highest silica content (more than or approximately 65%) and are lighter in color than other rocks. Mafic, ultramafic and intermediate rocks contain less content of Silica. They have high content of magnesium and mostly are of dark color.
