Heterozygous organisms show presence of two alternatives alleles for same trait. For plant height, a heterozygous tall plant, will show both the T (for tallness) and t (for shortness) alleles, as T allele is dominant over t allele. When a cross is made between heterozygous tall plants (Tt), there are 50% chances that a randomly selected allele will carry allele for shortness (t) as shown below:
Thus, "the probability that a randomly selected gamete will carry 't' allele in a cross between heterozygous tall pea plants, is 1/2."

Africa and South America are 4,000 km apart. If the plates move away from each other at a rate of 30 km per 1 million years, how
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The majority of the research shows that the plates move at the average rate of between approximately 0.60 cm/yr to 10 cm/yr. Some sources state that in the North Atlantic, the rate of movement is only about 1 cm (about 0.4 in) per year, while in the Pacific it amounts to more than 4 cm (almost 2 in) annually, while others say that plates, in general, travel from 5 to 10 cm/yr.



The Eurasian Plate is moving away from the North American Plate at a rate the is about 3cm per year. That is about the same rate at which your fingernails will grow.



The distance from New York to London is in 3459 miles (5567 km). What will the distance be in 5 million years?.





The distance from New York to London in 5 million years will be 3552 miles (5717 km). So if today it takes us 7 hours and 30 minutes to fly to London at a speed of 460 miles per hour, in 5 million years at the same rate of speed will take us close to 8 hours.

What can result from weakening of digestive smooth muscle with age?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Weakening of digestive smooth muscle with age can cause constipation.

Explanation:

Smooth muscles in the digestive system have the role to move food down the tract via radially symmetrical contractions (peristalsis). With age, the function of smooth muscles reduces, causing the food to move more slowly through the alimentary canal (digestive tract). As a consequence, water gets absorbed from food waste, which can cause constipation.
