Answer:

Explanation:

The windward position on a mountain is the side that is bombarded with prevailing winds. These winds are forced upwards into the upper cooler atmosphere by the physical barrier of the mountain. The moisture in the winds condenses forming clouds that precipitate as rain. As the winds descend on the other side of the mountain (leeward side), they have little moisture left. Therefore, the windward side will be rich in vegetation and biodiversity due to higher annual rainfall than the leeward side.

alex41 [277]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Please see the attached image

Given -

Allele for small pollen is "sp"

Allele for normal pollen is "sp+"

and "sp+" is dominant over "sp"

Allele for zebra necrotic tissue is "zn"

Allele for normal necrotic tissue is "zn+"

and "zn+" is dominant over "zn"

Cross is carried out between

sp+ sp zn+ zn x sp+ sp zn+ zn

The gametes of the parent cells are -

sp+ zn+, sp+zn, spzn+, spzn

The cross would be as follows

sp+ zn+ sp+zn spzn+ spzn

sp+ zn+ sp+ sp+ zn+ zn+sp+ sp+ zn+ znsp+ sp zn+ zn+ sp+ spzn+ zn

sp+zn sp+ sp+ zn+ znsp+ sp+ zn znsp+ sp zn+ zn sp+ sp zn zn

spzn+ sp+ sp zn+ zn+sp+ sp zn+ znsp sp zn+ zn+ sp sp zn+ zn

spzn sp+ sp zn+ zn sp+ sp zn zn sp sp zn+ zn sp sp zn zn

Hence, option B is correct
