What do chloroplasts look like under a microscope?

1 answer:

I depends, though “small greenish blob” would be a good description. The other answers contain great pictures of plant chloroplasts under a decent quality light microscope. However, plants (and algae) don’t all have the same size of chloroplasts and the chloroplasts can be very hard to see when they are small, not just because of size, be also because they appear less green (small size = less light absorption = less green in color).

If you use fluorescence microscopy, then the chloroplasts glow reddish-orange in color (very cool, especially when you have swimming algae).

Hope I helped

the oxygen that fish breathe is not the oxygen in H2O.Instead,the fish are breathing O2(oxygen gas) that is dissolved in water. ...Plus water is a lot heavier and thicker than air,so it takes a lot more work to move it around. please mark me braneliest

You are a dog breeder and are interested in two traits that you believe are inherited by simple genetic loci glossy (G) coat is

Paul [167]

Answer:

GL, Gl, gL, and gl

Explanation:

The mom is glossy long haired. Since glossy (G) is dominant over to dull (g) and long hair (L) is dominant to short hair (l), the possible genotypes of the mom would be:

GGLL, GgLL, GGLl, or GgLl

The dad is dull and short haired, the genotype would be ggll.

GGLL x ggll

Progeny = all GgLl (all glossy long haired)

GgLL x ggll

Progeny = 8 GgLl, 8 ggLi (glossy long haired and dull long haired)

GGLl x ggll

Progeny = 8 GgLl, 8 Ggll (glossy long haired and glossy short haired)

GgLl x ggll

Progeny = 4 GgLl, 4 Ggll, 4 ggLl, 4 ggll (glossy long, glossy short, dull long, and dull short)

<em>Only a cross of ggll with GgLl produced the offspring that cover the phenotypic range shown in the illustration. Hence, the genotype of the mom is GgLl.</em>

The parental gametes produced by the mom would be; GL, Gl, gL, and gl
