Trees capture carbon from the air and store it in them, so when people burn or cut down forest these trees release the carbon they stored. Deforestation will cause carbon levels to rise in the atmosphere

Is it possible for plant breeders to develop a true-breeding pink-flowered snapdragon?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Pink flower colour in snapdragon is as a result of incomplete dominance. The pink flower colour has no allele in nature. Instead, the pink colour results from incomplete dominance of the allele that codes for red flower colour over the allele that codes for the white flower colour.

Assuming that the allele for red flower colour in the plant is R and the allele for white flower colour is r, true breeding red and white flower colour plants will have the genotype RR and rr respectively. In heterozygote state (Rr), the phenotype is usually pink, showing that the R allele has incomplete dominance over the r allele.

<em>Hence, there is no way for plant breeders to develop a true-breeding pink-flowered snapdragon. without some genetic manipulations/mutation.</em>

Tom wants to improve the amount of recycling in his city. Which initiative should he propose?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

If you want to improve the amount of the recycling in your city, Tom need to implement a lot of initiatives and the following on this question isn't the right way to do it.

Explanation:

    Whether Tom wants to improve the amount of recycling in his city, he need not to ban all plastics. What he must to do is to take plastics from houses, companies, supermarkets and other places that use this kind of material and recycle them, and change them in other products to back to the society or community. Besides recycle, he need to contact the local authority to make  recycling campaigns. That's the reason to close grocery stores on Sundays isn't the right way to do in this situation. If he are wishing to close all landfills, isn't the right option to do, because you have to implement a good landfills and make it works in a right way, because is important to have an  sustainable landfill without creating environmental pollution for the community, local population and the planet. But to do all of these things explained above, you have to obtain investiment and money throughout the authorities,  governments or maybe  businessmen from big companies.

In pea plants, round seeds are dominant to wrinkled seeds. If you cross two heterozygous plants, what would your ratios be for g
Mila [183]

Answer:

Genotype - RR - 25%, Rr - 50%, rr - 25% (1:2:1)

Phenotype - Round seeds - 75%, Wrinkled seeds - 25% (3:1)

Explanation:

Let the letter "r" stand for the alleles, where R is round seeds and r is wrinkled seeds. A genotype is an individual's genes represented through alleles. Phenotypes are how the genes express themselves. In other words, genotypes will be written using letters, the alleles, and phenotypes will be the possible outcomes of the alleles.

To find the ratios/percentages of the genotypes and phenotypes you can use a punnet squares. Both of the parent seeds have the genotypes Rr and the phenotype of round seeds.

If you create punnet square (which had four boxes in total) 1 will have RR, 2 will have Rr, and 1 will have rr. These are the ratios for the genotypes. Each box represents 25%, so the percentages will be 25, 50, and 25. Finally, 3 of these boxes (RR and Rr) will result in round seeds because those are domiant. Only the genotype rr will result in wrinkled phenotype. Therefore, the ratio is 3:1 or 75% to 25%.

How did you know which transcribed the DNA sequence to mRNA codons?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

In transcription, the mRNA strand is formed by complementary base pairing of the template DNA strand. However we should note that the nitrogenous bases in mRNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Uracil, while those in DNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine.

So the mRNA strand would be formed by matching the A in DNA with U in mRNA, T in DNA with A in mRNA, C in DNA with G in mRNA and G in DNA with C in mRNA.

I hope that helps!
