Answer:

Explanation:

Geneticists use letters to represent alleles of different characters.

(Alleles: one of the two or more alleles  of a character.)

A single letter is used to represent both the alleles of a particular character.

A capital letter represents a dominant allele, while a small letter represents a recessive one.

<u>The letters do not just have one standard representation</u>. same letter can be used to represent different characters. However, the letters may relate to the allele. For example: the letter 'B' can be used to represent Brown eyes.

If a plant cell is placed in a solution and the cell shrivels up, what type of solution was it placed in? How do you know?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: The solution was hypertonic

Explanation: The reason for this is the fact that the cell shriveled up. The shriveling was caused by water moving out of the cell. This movement is likely caused by a disbalance in solutes between the cell and the surrounding, with the surrounding containing a higher concentration of solutes. Diffusion tries to balance this by moving water out of the cell, thus increasing the concentration inside and reducing the concentration outside.
