Your grandmother is very impressed with the size of the tomatoes from a plant that she planted in her garden. These tomatoes are

ten times bigger than the average tomatoes. She said that she will collect the seeds from the tomatoes from that plant and re-plant them so she can get more plants with big tomatoes. From the information that you learned in class you know that the plants will produce the same kind of tomatoes if ______

Answer: The blank can be filled correctly by "if the seeds contain the gene or allele responsible for large size of the tomatoes"

Explanation:

In plants also, characters or traits of characters are defined by genes. Different alleles produce different traits of the same character.

For example, in classic Mendelian genetics, T was the allele responsible for tall plant trait while t was the responsible for dwarf trait.

Similarly, there would be a gene(s) responsible for size of the tomatoes. In addition, seeds are the products of sexual reproduction of plants. So, they may carry genetic combination different from parent plants (due to meiosis, crossing over, independent assortment, et cetera).

So, if the seed contains the gene or allele responsible for large size of tomatoes then only they will produce same kind of tomatoes.

<h2>Frequency of allele </h2>

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium is used to calculate the allelic as well as genotypic frequency

Allelic frequency of dominant and recessive allele is represented by p and q respectively whereas genotypic frequency of dominant genotype is represented by p2 and q2 respectively

Given:

H allele (p) = hairy heffalump (dominant)

h allele (q) = hairless heffalump (recessive)

36% of heffalump population is hairless represents the % of recessive genotype, hh (q2) =36%

Calculation of frequency of the h allele (q) :

Frequency of genotype hh (q2) will be: 36/100=0.36 or 0.6*0.6

Frequency of h allele (q) will be 0.6

vladimir2022 [97]

The answer is D. The life cycle of a star is dependent on its mass. Stars by forming at nebulas as protostars. When the sun exhausts hydrogen fuel at its core, the core begins to fuse helium to carbon and the core becomes hotter but smaller. The outer layers are pushed outwards and the sun becomes larger and paler. Later, the helium fuel begins to run out and the sun loses the outer expanding layers into a planetary nebula. The remaining core is a white dwarf.

Stars that are 10 times our sun's solar mass just explode to supernovas when their hydrogen fuel is exhausted.
