Biology

Answer:

By test crossing the pea plant with a homozygous recessive pea plant

Explanation:

<em>A test cross involves crossing of an individual with doubtful genotype with an individual that is homozygous recessive for the same trait in order to determine whether the individual with doubtful genotype is homozygous or heterozygous for the trait in question.</em>

Assuming the gardener's pea plant is homozygous (SS), one would expect all the progeny to be smooth seeded when the pea plant is test-crossed with a homozygous recessive pea plant such that

SS x ss = Ss, Ss, Ss and Ss (assuming the allele for seed texture to be S)

Assuming the gardener's pea plant is heterozygous (Ss):

Ss x ss = Ss, Ss, ss and ss. Hence, one would expect 50% of the progeny to be smooth seeded and 50% to be wrinkled seeded.

Image result for Two differences between primary and secondary metabolites

Primary metabolites are not species-specific and thus might be identical in some organisms. Secondary metabolites are species-specific and thus are different in different organisms. Primary metabolites are involved in the growth, development, and reproduction of organisms.Aug 18, 2020

Eva8 [605]
<span>The answer is "Meiosis".
 
Meiosis is a cell division process which forms four daughter cells which are different from parent cell. Formed daughter cells have half of chromosomes when compared to parent cells. Hence, Daughter cells are haploid (have single set of chromosomes). This process occurs in the sexually reproductive organisms and formed daughter cells can be either sperms or egg cells according to the gender of living being.</span>
