The kernel color in wheat is a continuous trait determined by two additive genes, each with two alleles, that equally contribute

to kernel color determination. The red kernels are determined by two genes and two dominant alleles (R1R1R2R2), and white kernels are determined by two recessive alleles at the same two genes (r1r1r2r2). The duplicate dominant alleles R1 and R2 contribute equally to kernel color and cumulatively control the intensity of the red kernel phenotype. Both these alleles are dominant over the recessive white alleles r1 and r2. A true breeding red plant and true breeding white plant are crossed, and the resulting F1 progeny are selfed.
What is the expected phenotypic ratio of the kernel progeny of the F2 offspring?
Draw out your Punnett square. Indicate the doses (of red color) of each genotype. This will be a 4 x 4 Punnett similar to what you've done in the past for a dihybrid cross (bonus up to 1.5 pts)

The poison cyanide binds to the last complex of the electron transport chain and prevents it from accepting electrons. Assuming
Marianna [84]

Answer:

ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation will stop.

Explanation:

Cyanide inhibits cytochrome oxidase that passes electrons to the molecule oxygen. Cytochrome oxidase also pumps two protons from the matrix to the intermembrane space during electron transfer. Inhibition of cytochrome oxidase would not allow the transfer of electrons to oxygen and the whole electron transport chain would be stopped. There would not be any generation of proton concentration gradient to drive the process of ATP synthesis. Hence, ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation will be stopped after cyanide poisoning in aerobic cells.

What are a variety of instruments needed to measure change in the climate system
elena-s [515]

Climate change cannot be measured with a single instruments but require thousands of measuring devices that spread across the globe, land and under the sea. Thus,parameters measured in climate change includes: Rainfall, Sunshine hours, Temperature, Relative humidity, Atmospheric pressure, Wind speed . 

However, there are various instruments used for the measuring of climate change and they can be classified as follows: weather balloons and buoys, thermometers, wind anemometers, Manual rain gauges, transmitting rainfall gauges and Automatic Weather Stations
