Option 1 is the correct answer.
Answer:
The three stimuli that cause the plants to exhibit tropism are:
1. Touch: This stimulus triggers thigmotropism, which is the turning or bending of the plant and tendrils in response to the touch.
2. Light: This stimulus triggers phototropism. It is how the plant reacts toward the direction of the light source. In this case, the stem may bend in response to the direction of the light.
3. Gravity: This stimulus triggers phototropism gravitropism, which is responsible for the downward growth of roots into the soil.
Answer:
Tt - 2/4 = 1/2 or 50% Heterozygous TALL
tt - 2/4 = 1/2 or 50% Homozygous Dwarf
Explanation:
So let's make a Punnett for this so you can see what the outcome is yourself:
Tall is <u>dominant</u> - T
Dwarf is <u>recessive</u> - t
Heterozygous means that they have one of each allele. The genotype of one parent would be then Tt.
***It is heterozygous tall because Tall is a dominant trait so if it is accompanied by the recessive trait dwarf, then the Tall allele would mask it.
The other parent is a dwarf plant. The genotype would then be tt.
*** Now for a recessive trait to appear, it should not have a dominant trait mixed with it, which could mask it. The result then is homozygous recessive or homozygous Dwarf.
So now that we know the genotypes of the parent plants, we can put it into a Punnet:
t t
T Tt Tt
t tt tt
As you can see, out of the 4 outcomes we have:
Tt - 2/4 = 1/2 or 50% Heterozygous TALL
tt - 2/4 = 1/2 or 50% Homozygous Dwarf
What are his observations? We can’t answer this without knowing his observations if those are the conclusions. Please provide the rest of the information and I can answer.
