Answer:
A. Mendel observed green and yellow pea pods in a 3:1 ratio because the F1 generation was heterozygous.
Explanation:
The two true breeding plants in the parental population were homozygous (that is what true breeding means). Therefore, their cross would lead to all heterozygous offspring (see attached punnet square). Green is the dominant characteristic, so all F1 plants had a green phenotype, but Gg genotype.
The F1 cross would therefore be Gg x Gg. See attached punnet square.
The genotypes in the F2 generation are 1 GG: 2 Gg: 1 gg 1
Therefore, the phenotypic ratio is 3 green pea pods (Gg or GG): 1 yellow (gg)
Answer:
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration allow the carbon and oxygen that organisms consume and produce to be cycled through the ecosystem. They work together so that what is made from one process is used in the other. Without them the ecosystem would run out of carbon dioxide and oxygen, and everything would die.
Answer:
Although more offsprings are produced by the process of external fertilization but the process of internal fertilization is more efficient as compared to external fertilization. This is because, in external fertilization, it is more difficult for the sperm to find the egg and fertilize it. Even after fertilization, it might be that the zygote gets eaten up by a predator. There are none such risks in internal fertilization. The zygote is protected during the internal fertilization which makes this process more efficient.
Answer:
b. The two bacterial strains have different phenotypes.
Explanation:
In genetics, the trait that is expressed is often referred to as the dominant trait and it can also be expresssed phenotypically.
Since one of the bacteria produces the inducer, it therefore means that bacteria has the dominant strain for the regulatory inducer while the other bacteria might have the strain but since it is not expressed phenotypically, it is as a result not dominant.
Phenotype refers to the physical appearance of an organism as a result of the interaction of its genes with the environment. Examples of phenotypic expresssions are hair colour, skin colour, height, etc.
