The lobster would be a secondary consumer.
Answer:
C. 40
Explanation:
Pure-breeding means that the individuals are homozygous for the genes being analyzed.
From Mendel's Law of Dominance we know that the traits that appear in the F1 are the dominant ones.
I will call:
P_ = purple flowers
pp = red flowers
L_ = long pollen
ll = round pollen
Initial cross:
P Pl/Pl x pL/pL
F1 Pl/pL
<u>Test cross</u> (cross with a homozygous recessive individual):
Pl/pL x pl/pl
<u>Expected progeny:</u>
Pl/pl = Parental (purple flowers, round pollen)
pL/pl = Parental (red flowers, long pollen)
PL/pl = Recombinant (purple flowers, long pollen)
pl/pl = Recombinant (red flowers, round pollen)
20% of the offspring have purple flowers and long pollen (PL/pl).
Every time crossing over happens in the meiosis of the F1 individual, both a <em>PL</em> gamete and a <em>pl</em> gamete form. That means that 20% of the offspring will also be pl/pl, and the total proportion of the offspring that will be recombinants will be 40%.
A distance of 1 map unit corresponds to a recombinant frequency of 1%.
A recombinant frequency of 40% therefore means that 40 map units separate the glower color and pollen shape genes.
Answer: <u>Genetic Modification of crop plants.</u>
Explanation:
Genetic modification alters the genome of an organisms through the use of biotechnological tools and advancements in molecular biology. Usually, DNA is swapped among organisms, and between species; this is called transgenes. These altered plants are usually called transgenic organisms.
Some plants can be modified in several ways to meet global food security needs. These include:
-drought tolerance-plants grow in arid conditions with minimal water
-increased yield- plants produce more crop per input
Answer:
C. The properties of the mixture may be different from those of the original substances
