Answer:

ZZ species will take more number of crosses to produce a recessive offspring.

Explanation:

Here Z seems to be the dominant allele.  A species having ZZ or homozygous dominant genotype shall not express the recessive phenotype until unless it has both recessive allele and this is not possible as of now or is dependent on the genotype of mating species and the number of generations of development.

If ZZ mates with WW, the offspring in F1 generation will have genotype ZW

However, if the offspring in the F1 generation are crossed then in next generation we could see organism with recessive phenotype i,e WW

ZW*ZW

ZZ, ZW, ZW, WW

While in case of organism having ZW type genotype, recessive phenotype will occur in the first generation cross with the ZW.

If red flowering snapdragons are crossed with white flowering snapdragons, what would be the expected phenotype of the offspring
Natali [406]
The phenotype of the offspring would be: pink.

The offspring(F1 generation) have a different phenotype than the true-breeding parents( red and white) because this is this is an example of incomplete dominance. The F1 generation is a result of a blend between the phenotypes of its parents.

Which greenhouse gas has an average lifetime in the atmosphere of a few weeks to thousands of years and is the largest contribut
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Greenhouse gases from human activities are the most significant driver of observed climate change since the mid-20th century.1 The indicators in this chapter characterize emissions of the major greenhouse gases resulting from human activities, the concentrations of these gases in the atmosphere, and how emissions and concentrations have changed over time. When comparing emissions of different gases, these indicators use a concept called “global warming potential” to convert amounts of other gases into carbon dioxide equivalents.

Explanation:

Why does it matter?

As greenhouse gas emissions from human activities increase, they build up in the atmosphere and warm the climate, leading to many other changes around the world—in the atmosphere, on land, and in the oceans. The indicators in other chapters of this report illustrate many of these changes, which have both positive and negative effects on people, society, and the environment—including plants and animals. Because many of the major greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere for tens to hundreds of years after being released, their warming effects on the climate persist over a long time and can therefore affect both present and future generations.

Only green organisms have chloroplasts, so do green frogs and toads have chloroplasts??
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Chlorophyll is a cell that comes from plants not animals.

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is the part of chloroplast and is the light absorbing pigments which provide green color to the plants, but chloroplast traps the solar energy, which is the site of photosynthesis and other chemical reactions and works as the ‘powerhouse of the cell’ like mitochondria.
