Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. All 270 tall plants were heterozygous

B. All 270 tall plants were homzygous.

C. Only 90 plants were homzygous.

D. All dwarf plants were homzygous.

The answer is D.

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for height in pea plants. The allele for tallness (T) is dominant over that of dwarfness (t). This means that a dwarf plant can only be homzygous recessive (tt) while a tall plant can either be homzygous (TT) or heterozygous (Tt).

According to the question, two tall heterozygous pea plants were crossed i.e. Tt × Tt. Based on this cross, a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 is expected, which is in accordance with the 270 tall plants and 90 dwarf plants (360 total) that was obtained in the cross. Since dwarfism in pea plants is a recessive trait, this means that all the dwarf plants produced in this cross (90) were homzygous (tt).

Why is it important for the cell membrane to allow materials to enter and leave the cell
umka21 [38]
<span>Cell membrane needs to allow and exit the materials that enter the cell because the cell needs nutrients and these nutrients are converted into molecules that aid in many cellular activities like repair, divide and form structures and biomolecules.
Also to excrete wastes and other harmful materials for the cell.
This continues because the cell wants to attain homeostasis.

Homeostasis is the state where the internal and external part of the body maintains and establishes balance and equilibrium. This is achieved through cellular processes in the body, the integumentary system regulates the body temperature, the hypothalamus –hunger and thirst of the individual and other interrelated organ systems that make the body healthy and in the state of equilibrium. Now, when diseases or disorders appear they disrupt the organ systems in the body thus, causing imbalance state –high fever, inability to focus and etc.<span>

How are landslides and mudflows similar and different?
Anna [14]
Landslide is a general term referring to all types of surface movement, like avalanches involving the mass movement downhill of soil, rock, or snow under the action of gravity. These can be dangerous to human life.
Mudslides are caused unusually heavy rain or sudden thaw. they consist of mostly mud and water with fragments of rock and other debris. They're capable of moving house off of their foundations and can bury a place within minutes.
