Correct option(s):
(b) This muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste gene is ff.
(c) This muskmelon plant is homozygous for the fruit taste gene.
A dominant allele is one that is capable of expressing itself even in the heterozygous condition and overshadows the effect of the recessive allele. It is usually denoted by a capital letter. Recessive allele on the contrary cannot express in presence of a dominant allele and is denoted by a small letter.
In the given case the fruit with a sour taste (phenotype) can have two possible genotypes (FF and Ff). The genotype of sweet taste is ff which is a homozygous condition.
Note: Your question is incomplete, probably your complete question is “In a group of muskmelon plants, some individuals have sour fruit and others have sweet fruit. in this group, the gene for the fruit taste trait has two alleles. the allele F is for sour fruit, and the allele f is for sweet fruit. a certain muskmelon plant from this group has sweet fruit. this plant has two alleles for sweet fruit. Choose the correct option:
(a) this muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste trait is sweet fruit.
(b) this muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste gene is ff.
(c) this muskmelon plant is homozygous for the fruit taste gene.”

By the term "condensed", this refers to the density of a state of matter. As a rule of thumb, solids are the most dense because their molecules are very close together. Next is liquids because they flow compared to solids. The least dense are gases. Therefore, a change from a more condensed state to a less condensed state is boiling (liquid to gas).
Answer:
RrYy (F1 generation)
Explanation:
This is a typical dihybrid cross involving two genes in the pea plant; one coding for seed colour and the other for seed shape.
According to Mendel's law of dominance, an allele is capable of masking another allele in a gene, the allele that masks or is expressed is called the DOMINANT allele while the allele being masked is called RECESSIVE allele.
Homozygosity of a gene refers to it having the same type of alleles while heterozygosity refers to having different alleles.
In this example, allele for Round (R) and Yellow (Y) pea is dominant over the allele for Wrinkled (r) and green pea respectively.
Homozygous round green pea (RRyy) crossed with Homozygous wrinkled yellow (rrYY) will give rise to a heterozygous round yellow (RrYy) F1 offsprings.
This layer is called the cell wall.
The cell wall is located outside the cell membrane and provides the cells with structural support and protection. It gives cells rigidity and strength, offering protection against mechanical stress.
In most cells, it is flexible, meaning that it will bend rather than hold a fixed shape, but has a lot of tensile strength which is necessary to be able to withstand internal osmotic pressure.
Cell walls are found in plants, bacteria, fungi, algae and some archaea.
