Purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. A heterozygous purple flower is crossed with a white flower. What are the probabil

Answer:

50% probability of Pp (purple) or pp (white) genotype.

Explanation:

P = purple gene

p = white gene

Punnet squares show the possible genotypes and probabilities of each genotype in the offspring of a cross:

Purple flower genotype (heterozygous) = Pp

White flower genotype = pp

Punnet Square:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}&P&p\\p&Pp&pp\\p&Pp&pp\end{array}\right]

Potential genotypes for offspring are Pp and pp;

According to the Punnett square, 2 of 4 offspring will have the Pp genotype and the other 2 will have pp genotypes;

This means 2 should be purple and 2 white;

Or, there is a 50% chance of having either genotype, of being purple or white.

Let us assume the following:

  • Flower color is represented by the allele A.
  • Hence, the dominant purple color would be A, while the alternate white color would be represented by a.

From the above assumptions, a heterozygous purple flower would have the genotype Aa, while a white flower would have the genotype aa.

Now, crossing the two flowers:

       Aa    x    aa

   Aa   Aa   aa   aa

From the results of the cross, the offspring's genotypes, phenotypes, and their respective probabilities would be as follows:

  • Aa - purple color - 1/2
  • aa - white flower color - 1/2

In order words, the cross will yield offspring with purple color flower (genotype, Aa) and white flower color (genotype, aa) each with 1/2 probability.

The sodium-potassium pump is involved in active transport that moves 3 sodium ions from the cell for every 2 potassium ions it m
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The sodium-potassium pump is an active transporter because it needs to move sodium and potassium ions against the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

You have to think of it as outside vs inside the cell.

Outside the cell, you have 5mM K and 150mM Na. Inside the cell, you have 100mM K and 10mM sodium. Without the transporter then the ions would go from greater concentration to lower concentration.  Energy keeps the ions going from the way they would naturally happen.

The distance between two charges and is r, and the force between them is F. What is the force between them if the distance betwe
dimulka [17.4K]

The force between them if the distance between them is doubled is a. F/4

Explanation:

  • To find the answer, we can use Coulomb's law where it is defined as the force between two point charges is directly proportional to the magnitude of the point charges and proportional inversely to the distance between them.
  • The equation can be written as, F= K \frac{ q_{1} q_{2} }{r^{2} } where k is the Coulomb constant, q_{1}  q_{2} are the point charges, and r is the distance between these two point charges.
  • To find the answer to this question, just substitute 2r in the place of r hence, you will get \frac{F}{4} as the new force when the distance is doubled.

If you have a compound that directly injects a pair of electrons into complex III of the electron transport chain during aerobic
hammer [34]

Answer:

A) 6

Explanation:

Complex III of the electron transport chain transfers four protons across the membrane during aerobic respiration, per pair of electrons. In the other hand, complex IV is responsible for transporting two protons (per pair of electrons) across the membrane.

If the given compound injects a pair of electron into complex III,  four protons will accumulated due to complex III activity and then two more protons as these electrons move forward to complex IV. This means a total of 6 protons being transported to intermembrane space.
