Answer:Water molecules are split apart.

Explanation: In the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis, sunlight provides the energy for splitting of water into its components: hydrogen and oxygen. This reaction is known as the photolysis of water. The oxygen is evolved as a byproduct. In this light dependent reactions, the light energy absorbed is used for the splitting of water molecules and it is also conserved as ATP and NADPH which are used to drive the carbon fixation reactions of photosynthesis.

For a pair of genes with alleles: A (dominant) a (recessive) at the first locus; and B (dominant) b (recessive) at the second lo

Answer:

E. 1/16

Explanation:

In a duplicate dominant epistasis, when one locus presents a dominant genotype and the other presents a recessive genotype, the dominant one hides the effective of the recessive gene. Therefore, a recessive phenotype will only be observed when both genes are recessive homozygous (aabb).

Assuming a doubly-heterozygous mating (AaBb x AaBb), the probability that both genes are recessive homozygous is:

$P=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}\\P =\frac{1}{16}$

1/16 of offspring are expected to show the recessive phenotype.
