You are studying a variety of pea plant that has either red flowers or white flowers. When you cross true-breeding red-flowering

plants with true-breeding white-flowering plants, you get all red-flowering plants in the F1 generation. If you then allow the F1 plants to self-fertilize, you observe that 75% of the F2 plants are red-flowering plants, while 25% of the F2 plants are white-flowering plants. Next you make 640 different monohybrid crosses and decide to analyze only the first 8 plants produced from each of these crosses (i.e. a total of 5120 progeny plants total). How many of these crosses would be expected to produce 6 red plants and 2 white plants?

Answer:

approximately 200

Explanation:

From the question, we have

probability of red = 0.75

Probability of white = 0.25

We are required to find the probability of 6 red + 2 white plants offspring and after we do we multiply it by 640

We will solve this using the binomial theorem method

(a+b)⁸ = a⁸+8a⁷b+28a⁶b²+56a⁵b³+70a⁴b⁴+56a³b⁵+28a²b⁶+8a¹b⁷+b⁸

The required probability is 28a⁶b²

a = 0.75

b = 0.25

= 28 x 0.75⁶ x 0.25² x 640

= 28 x 0.178 x 0.0625 x 640

= 199.36

Which is approximately 200 crosses would be needed

Do you think true water-conducting tissue is a derived character of either embryophytes or green algae? Why or why not?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

i think true water-conducting tissue is a derived character of green algae?

Explanation:

WHY?

Many characteristics of land plants also appear in algae like both are multi cellular, euks, photosynthetic autotrophs so are brown, red, and certain green algae, plants have cell walls made of cellulose and so do green algae

However, charophytes are the only present day algae that share these traits with land plants

1.Rings of cellulose-synthesizing proteins (circular rings of proteins in plasma membrane that make cellulose of cell wall)

2.Structure of flagellated sperm

3.Formation of a phragmoplast ( group of microtubules known as phragmoplast formes b/t daughter nuclei of a dividing cell, giving rise to a cell plate making cross wall that separates the daughter cells)

Comparisons of both nuclear and chloroplast genes point to charophytes as the closest living relatives of land plants

Land plants are not descended from modern charophytes, but share a common ancestor with modern charophytes

WHY NOT?

The origin of embryophytes, as these multicellular plants arose and conquered the land, was a pivotal event in the history of life on earth. Without embryophytes, there would be no animals or humans surviving on the land portion of our planet. The provide food, habitat, energy, oxygen, protection, and numerous vital other functions for the world's creatures. Human beings also benefit from the aesthetic beauty, medicines, and innumerable products derived from these diverse plants.
