1. In a certain plant population, yellow seed color is recessive to green seed color. If a yellow seeded plant is crossed with a

heterozygote, what is the chance that their offspring will have green seeds?

Let's use A as the dominant allele for green seed colour and a as the recessive allele for yellow seed colour.
If a yellow seeded plant is crossed with a heterozygote,
aa X Aa

the yellow seeded plant would only produce one type of gamete (a) while the heterozygote would produce two different types of gametes (A and a)
If we put this into a Punnett square, we will see that there two two possible genotypes for the offsprings. Either Aa or aa.
Since the allele for green seed is dominant, Aa will exhibit the green seed colour phenotype.
Hence, the chance of getting an offspring with green seed colour is 1/2, or 0.5

What single feature is primarily responsible for the variation of climate throughout different times of the year?
konstantin123 [22]

The Sun is the basic source of energy for the Earth which affect the growth of all living things and the Sun also affect the all the biochemical processes. We know that the amount of radiation from the Sun changes day by day due to the distance of the Earth from the Sun. The rate of Solar energy affects the Earth in two ways.

The rate of solar heating which directly affects the processes like the evaporation and condensation and indirectly it affects the cloud forming processes of the Earth. The rate at which the solar energy reaches the Earth is called as the Total Solar Irradiance or TSI. This affects the climate of the Earth in many ways.

The change in rate of cloud formation increases of decreases with the distance of the Sun from Earth and hence a warm, moderate or cold climate is formed

It also affects the formation of winds due to the low or high pressure in the water bodies and hence affect the climate in the coastal areas.

The tropical areas have hot and humid climate due to the equator which has maximum exposure to the Sun’s heat.

Hence, the Sun is one primary feature that affects the climate in the Earth.

In Drosophila, vestigial (partially formed) wings (vg) are recessive to normal long wings (vg+) and the gene for this trait is a
Marina CMI [18]

Answer/ Explanation:

a. The genotype of a homozygous white eyed long winged female would be Vg+Vg+XrXr. We denote the white allele as recessive (r) because the XY male only has one copy and yet has red eyes, so the red eye trait (R) must be dominant. A homozygous red eyed vestigial winged male would have be VgVgXRY. The possible gametes for the female are Vg+Xr only. For the male, the possible gametes are VgXR or VgY

The attached punnett square shows the results of the cross. The females will all be Vg+VgXRXr. The males will all be Vg+VgXRY (must inherit Y from father). That means they will all  have normal length wings, the males will have white eyes and the females will have red eyes.

b. The F2 flies arise from intercrossing the F1, so the cross will be Vg+VgXRXr x Vg+VgXRY. The possible gametes for the mother are: Vg+XR, Vg+Xr, VgXR or VgXr. The possible gametes for the father are Vg+Xr

, Vg+Y

, VgXr

, VgY

. The attached punnet square shows this cross. The ratio of the phenotypes will be 6:6:2:2, or 3:3:1:1 (long-winged red eye: long-winged white eye: vestigial wing red eye: vestigial wing white eye), genotypes shown in the attachment.

c. F1 cross back to the mother would be Vg+VgXRY x Vg+Vg+XrXr. The genotypes are shown in the attached punnet square. The offspring will all be long-winged with white eyes. The F1 to the father would be Vg+VgXRXr x VgVgXRY. The ratio would be 3:3:1:1 long-winged red eye: long-winged white eye: vestigial wing red eye: vestigial wing white eye

A researcher determines an organism to be eukaryotic, unicellular, and autotrophic. In which taxonomic group should this organis
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

According to the characteristics of this organism, it is classified into the Protist kingdom, which brings together unicellular or simple multicellular organisms that do not form tissues, both autotrophic and heterotrophic.

<h3>What is the kingdom protista?</h3>

It includes eukaryote-type organisms that, due to their characteristics, cannot be included in the rest of the kingdoms of this class.

Although most protists are unicellular, there are also multicellular protists and they can have autotrophic or heterotrophic metabolisms.

Therefore, we can conclude that the protist kingdom groups living beings that have cells belonging to the eukaryote group.
