Answer:

 D)  a large assortment of plant dispersal mechanisms.

Explanation: Island theory suggests that you would see all but a large assortment of plant dispersal mechanisms on a well-established island that was once part of a mainland. The plants no longer need an array of dispersal mechanisms; they breed with like species that are near-by on the island. Also, they have an established niche in that location that has proven successful over the decades; whatever they are doing is working.

A large assortment of plant dispersal mechanisms.

Explanation:

Pretty much everything can be explained about Australia, as to where it was in the past, with which other large landmasses it was connected, its flora, its isolation from the other continents... One thing that still needs explaining is the large assortment of plant dispersal mechanisms, which is not typical for well established islands.

The reason as to why this is weird and hard to explain is because the well established islands have flora that is well adapted to their living conditions, and also it lacks competition from outside. In other words, they rule the place. The plants in Australia though exhibit dispersal mechanisms that are typical for the plants of the continental masses that are connected, so it causes big problem in explaining it.

In garden peas a pure line that is tall with purple flowers is crossed to another pure line that is short with white flowers. Th
defon

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

Answer 1.

As given that in F1 all are short and white then it can be said according to Mendel's law that short and white are dominant over tall and purple.  

Let S for short s for tall and W for white and w for purple allele.

So the genotype of short purple will be Ssww or SSww. So In first case Ssww self crossed then resultant offsprings will be,

................ Sw .................... sw

Sw ........ SSww ............. Ssww

sw ........ Ssww .............. ssww (tall and purple)

So from this 1/4 will be tall and purple while 3/4 will be short and purple.

In second case SSww only short purple progeny will appear.

Answer 2.

2. a) The female progeny will not show any trait because there are two X chromosome in females , so female offspring can be carrier but not show any trait in case of X- linked trait.

2. b) Half of male offsprings show trait because X is inherited from mother. So the chance of having X-linked recessive allele is 1/2.

2. c) The chance of having X linked affect allele in daughter is 1/2. So the chance of inheriting that X to son will be 1/2 so in total there is chance of 1/4 that son will be affected.

2. d) the chance of first child show this trait will be 1/4 in case of male offspring while 0 in case of female offspring.

Hope this helps!

A woman with normal BRCA alleles has a child with a man who has one mutated BRCA1 allele. What is the probability that the child
grigory [225]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

According to the given information, the woman has normal BRCA alleles while the man carries one copy of the mutated BRCA allele (BRCA1). A diploid organism such as human beings can have two BRCA alleles. A child gets one BRCA allele from the mother and the other from the father.

The child of the couple would get one normal allele from the woman. However, with respect to the BRCA allele, the man would form two types of gametes in equal proportion. The 50% of his gametes would have the mutated BRCA1 allele while the rest 50% would carry the normal BRCA allele. Therefore, the man can transmit either normal or mutated BRCA allele to the child. So, there are 50% chances for the child to get the mutated allele.
