Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

In order for a plant to be short and yellow, it needs to have hοmοzygous lowercase letters for height and color.

If the plant had one capital letter for either height, color, or both, this would dominate the recessive gene and would not allow the plant to exhibit the recessive trait.

The short, yellow plant has a genotype of:

ttgg

The plant that is heterozygous for both traits means that its genotype has both the dominant (capital) and recessive (lowercase) letters.

The heterozygous plant has a genotype of:

TtGg

We can use a dihybrid crossing of alleles in a 4x4 Punnett square. To figure out which four pairs of alleles to use for crossing, we can FOIL the genotypes of the two plants getting crossed.

(tt) · (gg) = tg + tg + tg + tg
(Tt) · (Gg) = TG + Tg + tG + tg

Use these pairs of alleles to cross in the Punnett square. To see which offspring will be short and green, we need to look at the pairs of alleles for the height and color traits separately.

Short plants must have the genotype of tt.

Green plants can have the genotype of GG or Gg.

Look at the Punnett square to see which genotypes are hοmοzygous for the short trait and either hοmοzygous or heterozygous for the green trait.

We can see that the third row of genotypes consist of ttGg, which corresponds to the short and green phenotypes.

Therefore, 1/4 of the offspring will be short and green.

Answer:

Hydrogen

Explanation:

When Nitrogen is introduced into the Chesapeake Bay it combines with the Hydrogen in the water which causes a chemical reaction that creates Ammonia. This is a corrosive compound that is highly toxic and can kill an individual if enough of the gas that it creates is inhaled. The chemical compound of Ammonia is one Nitrogen atom and three Hydrogen atoms to make up the formula NH3.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

When your eyes are not covered and you are in an area with good lighting, then opening your eyes would certainly be a necessary thing to do to be able to see and this makes your vision to be normal.

According to Leo Gross, you can have a normal vision if you are 20 feet away from a particular spot and you see what a normal person sees on that same spot. There is the Snellen chart one is also expected to read in that position, so maintaining a normal vision means someone has 20/20 vision.

In your own words, give a brief overview of the process of photosynthesis. Include where each phase place within a plant cell.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Photosynthesis has two parts: the light-dependent reactions and the dark reactions (the Calvin cycle). Photosynthesis in a general sense, uses CO2 and water to create C6H12O6 (glucose) and oxygen. The light-dependent reactions use water to make oxygen, and a reduced energy carrier (NADPH) is also created. The Calvin cycle uses carbon dioxide and ATP to create G3P for glucose.

The light-dependent reactions occur on the membrane of the thylakoid and also involve shuttling electrons across different complexes (photosystem II and photosystem I), eventually causing ATP to be created with a proton gradient.

The light-independent reactions/Calvin cycle occur in the stroma of the chloroplast and also involve shuffling carbons around. Carbon dioxide is processed in three stages, and glucose is made from 6 CO2.
