In pea plants, smooth seed texture is dominant over wrinkled seed texture. A gardener has a pea plant that produces smooth seeds

. How can the Gardener determine whether the plant is homozygous?
Biology
1 answer:

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.

You observe two female fish of the same species breeding.
Alisiya [41]

<u>Answer:</u>

The eggs from the female laying 1000 eggs have larger yolks than the eggs from the female laying 100 eggs.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Fitness trade off is the relationship between two factors namely size and reproduction, survival and reproduction,quality and quantity of the eggs etc.
  • The size, weight and number of eggs depend on the fitness of the fish. The traits present in the fish plays a key role in the fitness trade off.
  • Also the fertility/fecundity is a factor of the trait/allele.

What is the difference between free and attached ribosomes? what is the difference between free and attached ribosomes? free rib
Blizzard [7]

The correct answer is: Free ribosomes are located in the cytoplasm, whereas attached ribosomes are embedded on the endoplasmic reticulum.


<span>Free ribosomes produce proteins which are released into the cytosol and used within the cell. On the other hand, attached (membrane-bound) ribosomes synthesize proteins that are needed within the plasma membrane or are released from the cell. The newly synthesized polypeptide chains are inserted directly into the endoplasmic reticulum by the attached ribosome and are then transported to their destinations where they will be secreted. </span>
