somebody help me please A cross is performed between a bird that is homo for red feathers and a bird that is homo for blue feath

Answer:

2 in 4

Explanation:

Let PP are the gametes of red feather bird and pp are the gamete of blue feather bird. In the first cross they both will give purple feather bird because of incomplete dominance.

Consider Pp as the allele of purple offspring for the second cross. When two of the purple offspring are crossed, it will give the proportion of 2 in 4  

F2: Pp X Pp

Offspring: PP, Pp,Pp, pp

So, only two offspring, Pp is with purple feathers while PP has red and pp has blue feathers.

Hence, the correct option is 2 in 4.

Comment on why do you think cells prefer to use carbohydrates as a source of energy before they use fats and proteins.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

This can be explained  based on structure, and on metabolisms of  carbohydrate.

Explanation:

Carbohydrate has a relatively simple structural composition than the  either protein or fatty acids. The C, H and Oxygen molecules are of  relatively fewer in number and few  chains than fats and protein.Thus  cells will spend less energy to break bonds(catabolisims) among these molecules during cellular respiration  pathways  to trap the energy.

In addition glucose the end products of carbohydrate did not need any processing before it enters glycolysis, Kreb's Cycle and oxidative phosphorylation pathways to generate energy for the cells.

Conversely, for protein to be used it has to be first deaminated(removal of amino acid) by the liver  before it enters glycolysis,while fats needs to  be broken down and undergo beta oxidation   with the long chains removed  before it can  form acetyl CoA. Therefore cells will prefer few steps, less endergonic  pathways of glucose than longer more endergonic amino acids  and fatty acid pathways.

Furthermore, glucose can be used in cellular respiration to  produce energy either aerobically or anaerobically, while fats can only be used anaerobically. Therefore, since cells usually prefer to thrive in aerobic conditions they  breakdown glucose easily during this period, and when lack of oxygen occurs they switched to anaerobic, Thus, the versatility of glucose to oxygen concentration makes glucose a better choice. Besides if fats was used anaerobically, ketone bodies build up which may be toxic to the cells.

When walking in a tropical forest you come upon a 5 foot tall plant that does not produce flowers or seeds. In which of these gr
Minchanka [31]

C. ferns.

Explanation:

The ferns are ancient plants that have managed to survive until the present. They are not closely related to the dominant plants nowadays, the flowering plants, but instead they are closely related with plants that have gone extinct tens and hundreds of millions years ago. Even though the ferns are not the dominant plants, they have managed to find a niche and firmly hold onto it, so they remained widespread, normally occupying the lower layers of the forests.

Unlike the flowering plants that produce flowers and then seeds in order to reproduce, that is not the case with the ferns. The ferns actually reproduce through spores, being widely dispersed by the wind and managing to spread out and reproduce over relatively large territory very quickly.
