A plant with genotype SsYy is crossed with a plant with genotype SsYy. What is the probability

Biology
1 answer:
Dafna11 [192]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

62.5%

Explanation:

I posted a picture of the dihybrid cross I used to solve this below.  

Both smooth seeds and yellow seeds are dominant, so any genotype with a S and a Y would have smooth, yellow seeds.  10 out of 16 on the dihybrid cross had a S and Y.  \frac{10}{16} can be simplified to \frac{5}{8}.  

To find the percentage, divide 5÷8=0.625.  Multiply 0.625×100=62.5%

This means 62.5% of the offspring will have smooth yellow seeds.

(a) if the seawater carbonate ion concentration is 270 ?mol/kg, what is the approximate rate of calcification, and approximately
Travka [436]
Using the graph provided with the question, we are able to find that that for a concentration of 270 micromol per kilogram, the calcification rate is 20 mmol calcium carbonate per meter squared per day.

Using this calcification rate,
30 = 20 * 1 * days

days = 1.5

The deposition will require 1.5 days.

You must pack food that has high concentrations of fat and protein. Food like granola bars and canned meat are a good source of energy and heat. This is because the body breaks this food down easily converting it into usable energy. Though some people would suggest that you pack food that are high in carbohydrates, fats and proteins are long-term sources of energy that you would need for your hiking trip.

Explain how modern classification is different from linnaeus methods, and why scientists changed it
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The answer is that the criteria of classification change with the improved understanding of organisms around us. During the time of Aristotle, not much was known about the living organisms. So, he classified them as he observed. Plants were classified into herbs, shrubs and trees; very much like what’s taught to a second grade student. Animals as Enaima and Anaima based on the presence or absence of RBCs. After him, Carolus Linnaeus tried his hand over classification. He came up with the 2 kingdom classification: Plants and Animals. He considered only a set of morphological and physiological criteria to decide the kingdom to which an organism belongs. It includes presence of cell wall, mode of nutrition, contractile vacuole, locomotion and others. Based on these criteria, he included widely differing organisms into a single kingdom, for example, fungi, bacteria, algae, and higher plants were included into plant kingdom just because they have cell wall as a common aspect. Then came, Ernst Haeckel, who came with a third kingdom of Protista to include unicellular organisms. Copeland gave a 4 kingdom classification segregating unicellular organisms into 2 separate kingdoms based on their nuclear structure. R.H. Whittaker came next introducing the most accepted 5 kingdom classification system. You should understand one thing that man’s knowledge of classifying organisms improved with the improving technologies available to him, which he exploited to very effective extent. Carl Woese gave the 6 kingdom classification and 3 domain system based on the 16S rRNA sequence.

Our understanding of organisms around us is improving day by day and the system of classification will also change further in pace with the improvement in technology.

I hope this helps! :D]
