King Leopold II treated the Congo as his personal property and exploited the country for slave labor, rubber, and ivory. The Belgian Congo was established in 1908 after the international community pressured the Belgian government to annex the country and take it out of the king's hands. Conditions in Belgian Congo improved as the Belgian government supported education and established trade. Nevertheless, the people of the Congo increased their demands for independence.

Plantlike photosynthesis that releases O2 occurs in

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Cyanobacteria. (Ans. A)

Explanation:

Cyanobacteria are prokaryotes, are a phylum of bacteria. They are also called as blue-green algae and obtain their energy through the process of photosynthesis. They are commonly found in fresh water and terrestrial environment such as land, in rocks even in animal cells (fur).

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic (oxygenic) bacteria. They harvest the energy of sun, absorb carbon dioxide and release O2. Cyanobacteria also contain chlorophyll such as plants and algae and convert carbon dioxide to sugar through the process of carbon fixation.

Cyanobacteria lack nucleus and other organelles like found in algae and plants. Instead of these they have double outer cell membrane and folded inner thylakoid member which are used in the process of photosynthesis.

A new human species was found on a distant planet, whose genetic inheritance and process of reproduction is identical to that of

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

E/e ; T/t ⇒ Square eyes and long tail (Option D)
3/16 will have round eyes and long tails (Option C)
1/4 of the progeny will be heterozygous for both traits (Option A)

Explanation:

Available data:

Two diallelic unlinked genes
Gene E controls eye shape: Dominant allele E expresses square eyes, and recessive allele e expresses round eyes.
Gene T controls the tail size. Dominant allele T expresses long trail, and recessive allele t expresses short tail.

Genotypes Phenotypes

EETT, EeTT, EETt, EeTt Square eyes and Long tail

eeTT, eeTt Round eyes and Long tail

EEtt, Eett Square eyes and Short tail

eett Rounf eyes and short tail.

1. An individual of this new species is heterozygous for gene E and heterozygous for gene T. What is their genotype and phenotype?

The heterozygous individual is E/e ; T/t, expressing square eyes and a long tail.

2. Two individuals, who are both heterozygous for eye shape and tail size, mate. Which of the following is a correct statement about the phenotype ratios expected for their offspring?

Cross: between two heterozygous individuals

2/16 EeTT
4/16 EeTt ⇒ 1/4 EeTt
2/16 Eett
1/16 eeTT
2/16 eeTt
1/16 eett

Phenotype

9/16 E-T-, Square eyes and Long tails
3/16 E-tt, Square eyes and short tails
3/16 eeT-, Round eyes and Long tails
1/16 eett, round eyes and short tail

Phenotypic ratio 9:3:3:1

3. From the mating described in question ABOVE, what proportion of ALL of the offspring in will be heterozygous for both traits?

4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny are expected to be heterozygous for both traits, EeTt.
