Answer:
Two heterozygous parents have a <u>50%</u> chance of contributing one of their alleles to each offspring.
Explanation:
Individuals who are heterozygous for a specific trait have two different alleles in the gene that determines that trait. This characteristic makes their chances of contributing each of their alleles to the offspring 50%.
The alleles of a gene are distributed in the gametes by the process of meiosis, which results in daughter cells with half the genetic charge, so each gamete can only have one copy of the allelic pair of a gene.
On the other hand, if an individual has two equal alleles for a characteristic in a gene, he has a 100% chance of passing that allele on to his descendants.
Answer:
Pollination of plants
Explanation:
This species of birds is thought to help in preserving and conserving the native plant species of Hawaii by helping in dispersing their seeds. They are the main pollinators of the ieie vine. These was a role that was once performed by the long extinct Hawaii native bird species (they became extinct due to the invasion of these Japanese white eye).
The correct answer would most likely be A
Answer:
120 white individuals
30 yellow individuals
10 green individuals
Explanation:
Available data:
- Dominant epistasis: Phenotypic frequencies 12:3:1
- W allele codes for a dominant white phenotype
- w allele codes for a colored squash
- Y allele codes for a dominant yellow phenotype
- y allele codes for a recessive green phenotype
- W allele will always mask the phenotype produced by Y or y alleles

F1 Phenotypic Frequency)
White phenotype: 12/16 = 120 individuals
Yellow phenotype: 3/16 = 30 individuals
Green Phenotype: 1/16 = 10 individuals
To know how many offspring are expected to have the white, yellow, and green phenotypes, you can perform a three simple rule. This is:
16 ------- 160 offspring
12 White ------- X = 120 offspring
3 Yellow ------- X= 30 offspring
1 Green --------X = 10 offspring
Answer:
The correct answer is phytochemicals.
Explanation:
Phytochemicals refer to the components, which are generated by plants. They are witnessed in vegetables, fruits, beans, grains, and other plants. Some of these phytochemicals are considered to protect cells from destruction, which could result in cancer. The phytochemicals are not considered as nutrients, but possesses many health benefits:
1. It helps in ceasing carcinogens from attacking cells.
2. It helps to prevent the generation of potential cancer-resulting substances.
3. It assists the cells to prevent and eradicate any kind of cancer-like modifications.
Some of the phytochemicals, which are considered as the most beneficial ones are polyphenols in tea, beta-carotene and other carotenoids in vegetables and fruits, and isothiocyanates found in cruciferous vegetables.
