Answer:
2. 1 Pink : 1 white
3. 1 Red : 1 Pink
4. 1 Red : 2 Pink : 1 White
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for flower colour in snapdragon plants. The alleles of the gene exhibits incomplete dominance i.e. the red allele (R) ia not completely dominant over the white allele (W), hence an intermediate pink phenotype (RW) is formed. Based on this, a red snapdragon will have genotype, CRCR while a white one will have genotype, CWCW. The intermediate pink phenotype will have a genotype, CRCW.
The image attached to this question shows four crosses between different traits.
In the second cross between a pink (CRCW) and white offspring (CWCW), 2pink and 2white offsprings will be possibly produced in the ratio 1:1.
In the third cross between a red (CRCR) and pink (CRCW) snapdragon, 2 red and 2 Pink offsprings will possibly be produced in a ratio 1:1.
In the fourth cross between a pink (CRCW) and pink (CRCW) snapdragon, red, pink and white offsprings will be produced in the ratio 1:2:1.
See attached image for the complete punnet square. Note that, there was a mistake in the Genotype of the last cross i.e. pink has genotype CRCW not CWCW.
The correct answer for this question is A. Law of segregation.
All individuals have two alleles for a given trait. According to Mendel's Law of segregation, these alleles are passed down one each from both mother and father.
Explanations;
According to this law of segregation the allele pairs separate or segregate during the formation of gamete, during the process of meiosis, leaving each cell with a single allele for each trait, and randomly unite during fertilization. One pair of allele comes from the mother while the other pair comes from the father, and joins together to form a diploid cell. Therefore, organisms inherit two alleles for each trait one from each parent.
(D) Both perform photosynthesis is the observation that led researchers to propose that chloroplasts evolved from cyanobacteria.
Chloroplasts is the area where photosynthesis takes place. It is a green organelle in a plant cell. Pigments called the chloros in a chlorophyll are needed for the photosynthesis.
Cyanobacteria or blue-gree algae contains a blue photosynthetic pigment and a chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Larger organism increases more in volume than area. That's why larger organism uses respiratory systems or organs and systems instead of simple diffusion for removal of waste and absorption of nutrients.
