The desert environment makes it difficult to take in water, so leaves that are small would adapt to the desert environment by trying to conserve the little water that they do receive. Therefore, your answer should be:

b. They minimize water loss.

Answer: 25% of the offsprings will be heterozygous for both traits

Explanation: A cross between BbFf and bbff will yield 16 offsprings with four different possible genotypes: BbFf, Bbff, bbFf, and bbff. Only BbFf is the genotype that is heterozygous for both traits, and there are four offsprings with BbFf genotype.

Therefore the percentage of the offsprings that are heterozygous for both traits is 4/16 x 100 = 25%

Which process must the cell undergo to have identical cells at the end of cell division? meiosis mitosis sexual reproduction gam

Valentin [98]

The correct answer is Mitosis.

The mitosis is a type of cell division, in which the parent cell produces a similar type of daughter cell. The daughter cells, which are formed by the process of the mitosis would have the same number of the chromosomes and the ploidy of the daughter cells would also be same as the parents. In the sexual reproduction, the process of meiosis result in the formation of haploid cells during the process of gamete formation. Hence, meiosis, sexual reproduction, and gamete formation are incorrect answers.
