Answer:
False
Explanation:
Mendel realized that the F2 had a phenotypic ratio 3:1, meaning 3/4 = 75% were yellow and 1/4 = 25% green.
Mendel observed that the F1 expressed only one of the alternative variants (in this case, only yellow seeds appeared), while the other variant (green) disappeared. Mendel named dominant the expressed variant. Mendel allowed auto pollination and observed that in the second generation, F2, the other disappeared variant reappeared. Both alternative variants were present in the F2. Mendel named recessive the second alternative variant.
Mendel thought that hereditary traits determined by discrete factors were the possible explication for these phenotypes. These factors should have been present in the F1 in pairs. One of them came from one parental plant, and the other factor came from the other plant. These factors then separated again when sex cells were produced, giving two types of gametes, each with only one factor.
Mendel concluded that each individual (plant) has a pair of factors (alleles), one for each trait (yellow and green) and that the pair separates (segregates) during the formation of the gametes. This conclusion is known as the segregation principle (First Mendels´ Low).
N an experiment, suppose that the wings of fruit flies were clipped short for fifty generations. The fifty-first generation emerged with normal-length wings. This observation would tend to disprove the idea that evolution is based on
a. inheritance of natural variations
b. inheritance of acquired characteristics
c. natural selection
d. survival of the fittest
Inheritance of acquired characteristics. Thus, option "B" is correct.
<h3 /><h3>What is inheritance of acquired characteristics?</h3>
For fifty generations wings of fruit flies were clipped. Hence they acquired this trait in their lifetime and not genetically. If acquired characteristics were capable of passing on to next generation, 50 generations would have been enough to inculcate this clipped wing trait in fruit flies. Despite it, the fifty-first generation did not have clipped wings.
Hence evolution can not occur without genetic variation. A character simply acquired in a lifetime does not create a difference in germ cells and hence is not enough to be passed on to next generation or cause evolution

Answer:
<h2>
Haploid=13</h2><h2>
triploid=39 </h2><h2>
tetraploid=52</h2><h2>
trisomic=14 </h2><h2>
monosomic=12</h2>
Explanation:
Given;
A species with a diploid number of 26, so 26= 2n ( a diploid cell),
so in haploid condition, chromosome number becomes half (13 in this case). triplod is when 2n + n, and 2n +2n ( tetploid). Trisomy and monosomy is the addition or deletion of a sinlge chromosome of a sinlge set .
Haploid=13, one chromosome from each pair of chromosome set,
triploid=39 (13× 3); diploid+ n( 3n)
tetraploid=52 (13× 4) 4n
trisomic=14 (13+1) ; n+1
monosomic=12 (13-1); n-1
The distance of Earth from the Sun is 94.5 million miles.
A light year is 6 trillion miles so it would be less.*
