Answer:

The trait is inherited in the homozygous recessive pattern

Possible mating is between two heterozygous individuals

Explanation:

One possible explanation for this is that the trait for this brown mice has to inherited in the homozygous recessive condition. It is possible for this trait to skip two generations and then reappear if it has to be inherited in the homozygous recessive condition.

Another explanation to complement the first is that for this trait to reappear, there was mating between two heterozygous individuals (with one allele being domiant and the other being recessive). It is possible that all matings within the two skipped generations was between an heterozygous and a homozygous dominant or between two homozygous dominant individuals which will not produce the brown mice..

A researcher has developed two stains for use with seed plants. One stains sporophyte tissue blue; the other stains gametophyte
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

A) The pollen grains will be pure red.

Explanation:

Plants have alternation of generations, this means that there are two different stages in their life-cycle: a sexual haploid (n) phase and an asexual diploid phase (2n). These phases occur in different individuals, so there is an haploid plant called gametophyte that carries gametes and after fecundation, it will rise a diploid sporophyte (asexual).  

In seed plants, the sporophyte is the plant that we normally see, and the gametophyte is reduced into an organ of the sporophyte. The male gametophyte is the pollen that is produced in the sporangium in anthers (parts of sporophyte).  When a pollen grain fecundes a female gametophyte (egg), it will produce a diploid embryo or new sporophyte.

Therefore, if the researcher exposes pollen to both stains, these grain will stain red, because red stain identifies gametophyte tissue.

What accounts for the movement of water up the veins of a tall tree?
stiv31 [10]
First of all, the cohesive and adhesive properties of the water molecules fascilitate this. Water molecules stick together and with the walls of the vessels, creating a column of water which doesn t break easily. Moreover the xylem vessels of the tree are very narrow increasing the pressure. Finally, transpiration is taking place as water from the leaves evaporate, thus a continuous osmotic gradient is being created, causing water to be drawn up the tree
