Answer:

Characteristics of Fungi

Fungi are eukaryotic, non-vascular, non-motile and heterotrophic organisms.

They may be unicellular or filamentous.

They reproduce by means of spores.

Fungi exhibit the phenomenon of alternation of generation.

Fungi lack chlorophyll and hence cannot perform photosynthesis.

What similarities in flower structure are found among the plants in the rose family
emmainna [20.7K]

The rose family is a medium-sized family of flowering plants. The rose family (Rosaceae) is one of the major angiosperm families. The leaves are generally arranged spirally. Flowers of plants in the rose family are generally described as "showy". They are actinomorphic and almost always hermaphroditic.  Rosaceae generally have five sepals, and five petals. They also have many spirally arranged stamens. The bases of the sepals, petals, and stamens are fused together to form a  cup-like structure called a hypanthium. They can be arranged in racemes, spikes, or heads; solitary flowers are rare.

Round pea allele R is dominant to wrinkled pea allele r, while yellow pea allele Y is dominant to green pea allele y. Homozygous
allsm [11]

Answer:

RrYy (F1 generation)

Explanation:

This is a typical dihybrid cross involving two genes in the pea plant; one coding for seed colour and the other for seed shape.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, an allele is capable of masking another allele in a gene, the allele that masks or is expressed is called the DOMINANT allele while the allele being masked is called RECESSIVE allele.

Homozygosity of a gene refers to it having the same type of alleles while heterozygosity refers to having different alleles.

In this example, allele for Round (R) and Yellow (Y) pea is dominant over the allele for Wrinkled (r) and green pea respectively.

Homozygous round green pea (RRyy) crossed with Homozygous wrinkled yellow (rrYY) will give rise to a heterozygous round yellow (RrYy) F1 offsprings.

What would most likely increase the genetic variation in a population of<br> organisms?
kati45 [8]
Gene duplication, mutation, or other processes can produce new genes and alleles and increase genetic variation. New genetic variation can be created within generations in a population, so a population with rapid reproduction rates will probably have high genetic variation.

Describe the microscopic structures you would expect to see in the lungs.
Sati [7]

Answer:

Alveoli

Explain:

They are the workhorses of your respiratory system. You have about 480 million alveoli, located at the end of bronchial tubes. When you breathe in, the alveoli expand to take in oxygen. When you breathe out, the alveoli shrink to expel carbon dioxide.
