What has to happen to nitrogen gas in order for it to be used by organisms?

1 answer:

5 0

Biologically: Nitrogen gas (N2) diffuses into the soil from the atmosphere, and species of bacteria convert this nitrogen to ammonium ions (NH4+), which can be used by plants. Legumes (such as clover and lupins) are often grown by farmers because they have nodules on their roots that contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria. (Learn more about this process in the article The role of clover.)
Through lightning: Lightning converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia and nitrate (NO3) that enter soil with rainfall.
Industrially: People have learned how to convert nitrogen gas to ammonia (NH3-) and nitrogen-rich fertilisers to supplement the amount of nitrogen fixed naturally.

Long legs (L) in racing horses is dominant to short legs (l). Good muscle tone (G) is dominant to weak muscle tone (g). Determin

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Long leg (L) is dominant over short leg (l) and Good muscles (G) is dominant over weak muscles (g).

Heterozygous long leg, weak muscle = Llgg

Heterozygous long leg, strong muscle = LlGg

Llgg x LlGg

Offspring:

2 LLGg - Long leg, strong muscle

4 LlGg - Long leg, strong muscle

2 LLgg - Long leg, weak muscle

4 Llgg - long leg, weak muscle

2 llGg - short leg, strong muscle

2 llgg - short leg, weak muscle

Ratio of offspring with long leg and strong muscle = 6/16 or 3/8

Ratio of offspring with long leg and weak muscle = 6/16 or 3/8

Ratio of offspring with short leg and strong muscle = 2/16 or 1/8

Ratio of offspring with short leg and weak muscle = 2/16 or 1/8

When Mendel crossed a plant homozygous for round seeds to another plant homozygous for wrinkled seeds, he found that all the pro

deff fn [24]

Answer:

a. The allele for round seeds is dominant to the allele for wrinkled seeds.

Explanation:

Mendel found that when two pure breeding plants that differ from each other with respect to one genetic trait are crossed, all the progeny express the phenotype of one parent. The phenotype of the other parent is not expressed in the progeny. He concluded that the genetic trait that is expressed in the F1 generation is dominant over the other which is masked in this generation.

A cross between pure breeding plants for round seeds and the wrinkled seeds obtained all the round seeded progeny. This meant that the phenotype "round" was dominant over the phenotype "wrinkled". If the allele "R" gave round phenotype and the allele "r" imparted wrinkled phenotype, the allele "R" was dominant to the "r".

Identify the gland and hormone(s) affected by oophorectomy

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer: pituitary gland

Explanation: In an oophorectomy procedure as both ovaries were removed due to which hypothalamus, pituitary and ovarian axis mainly damaged. When ovaries removed than LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH ( follicle stimulating hormone) level increased by the pituitary gland. The hormones that are produced by ovaries also decrease in which estrogen and progesterone level decreased which cause list of problems in females.

Define and distinguish between a hypothesis and a scientific theory

Annette [7]

A hypothesis is an idea or explanation that you then test through study and experimentation. A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. . Most hypotheses can be supported or refuted by experimentation or continued observation. Theory: A theory is more like a scientific law than a hypothesis. I hope this helps! Please give me stars to tell me how well I'm doing.
