Answer:

The correct answer is - 2 genes.

Explanation:

The number of genes involved in the coloration of the strain of cereal grain, could be either dark tan, medium-dark tan, medium tan, light tan, or cream-colored if all F1 are medium tan when crossed a dark tan crossed with cream-colored, can be calculated as follow:

suppose there are only two gene - TT dominant over tt and CC dominant over cc

then the cross would be - RRCC - rrcc

gametes - RC and rc

Cross F1: RrCc

Self cross in F2:

offspring by Punnet cross are:

RRCC  -->1/16  

RRCc,  RrCC .---> 4/16

RrCc, RRcc, rrCC--->6/16

rrCc, Rrcc--->4/16

rrcc ----> 1/16

thus, the correct answer is 2 genes

What waste product does aerobic organisms release into the environment that plants use during photosynthesis
Arte-miy333 [17]
Answer: Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Aerobic organisms (like us!) are organisms that need oxygen. That means they consume oxygen (O_{2})and release carbon dioxide (CO_{2}).

That carbon dioxide is the waste product that is taken up by plants during photosynthesis to create more oxygen and sugars (as "food" for the plants). This is seen in the equation for photosynthesis, where the things that are consumed by plants are on the left of the arrow, and the things produced are on the right:
<span>6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy ==> C6H12O6 + 6O2</span>
