I filled in each labeled square for you and wrote each percentage to the right of each square with the genotype of the last two.
Answer:
a) R= allele for red colored flower
I= Allele for ivory flowers
b) Genotype of pink flowered plant: RI
c) Incomplete dominance
d) 100%
Explanation:
When the dominant allele is not able to fully mask the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygous state, it is said to be incomplete dominance. The R and I alleles impart red and ivory color respectively to the flowers of the snapdragon plant. The heterozygous genotype "RI" imparts a pink color to the flowers and therefore, the alleles are said to exhibit incomplete dominance.
The genotype of red-flowered snapdragon plant = RR. The genotype of ivory flowered snapdragon plant= II. When a red-flowered snapdragon plant is crossed with an ivory flowered snapdragon plant, the progeny is heterozygous in nature with the "RI" genotype. The phenotype of the progeny is "Pink flower" since the R allele is incompletely dominant over the allele I.
During exercises, our muscles needed energy for contractions. The heart pumps more rapidly and more powerfully during this time for a few reasons.
First, more oxygen and nutrients like glucose can be transported to the heart. Muscle cells uses oxygen and glucose for aerobic respiration to generate energy.
Secondly, more carbon dioxide and waste can be transported away from the muscles. Waste products from aerobic respiration includes carbon dioxide or water etc. The faster the heart pumps, the faster the blood gets transported so more waste can be carried away.
Thirdly, lactic acid can be carried away too. When oxygen supply is not enough, the cells undergo anaerobic respiration to generate energy. This type of respiration does not require oxygen, but a waste product called lactic acid is produced. Lactic acid must be carried away from cells because they're harmful. Therefore, the faster the heart pumps, the more lactic acid gets carried away.
Last but not least, heat can be carried away too. Part of the energy generated is turned into heat. Therefore, in order to help us cool down, blood travels fast to carry heat away from the heat generating muscle cells.
Multiple alleles: three or more alleles for a specific gene
polygenic traits: a trait controlled by a group of nonallelic genes
