Answer:

A. Two different forms a plant can have

Explanation:

Higher plants, lower plants (mosses) and ferns undergo a life cycle called ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS. In this life cycle, they switch between a haplontic and diplontic forms of life.

The haplontic (haploid) life form which produces haploid (n) gametes is called GAMETOPHYTE while the diplontic (diploid) life form which produces the spores that germinates is called SPOROPHYTE. Hence, sporophyte and gametophyte are two different forms a plant can have.

Feather color in Christmas Parrots is codominant. You have 2 Christmas Parrots each red and green. What are the percentages for

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: The percentage of each phenotype to be expressed is *50%* each

Explanation: In codominance, two alleles for a particular trait are equally expressed in an individual carrying it, neither an allele is dominant or recessive over the other. In this case the individual shows the two traits of the allels.

Furthermore, when 2 Christmas parrot are crossed with red and green color in an homozygous codominant trait the heterozygous F1 generation will either be red with traces of green or green showing traces of red.

If parrot 1 (Red) is represented as PR PR and parrot 2 (Green) is PG PG the cross between them will give PR PG therefore, the individual shows both traits.
