svetoff [14.1K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The carbon atom has unique properties that allow it to form covalent bonds to as many as four different atoms, making this versatile element ideal to serve as the basic structural component, or “backbone,” of the macromolecules.

All living things contain carbon in some form. Carbon is the primary component of macromolecules, including proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. Carbon's molecular structure allows it to bond in many different ways and with many different elements.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

0.7

Explanation:

Using Hardy-Weinberg equation of genetic variation being constant when disturbing factors such has mutation and others are removed.

p² + pq + q² = 1 and p + q = 1

where p² is the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype (RR) and q² is the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype (rr) and 2pq is the frequency of heterozygous genotype (Rr). p represent the frequency of "R" and q represent "g". since the coefficient against the green/green homozygote is 0.30 then

the fitness of the green/green homozygote = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

What happens when a atom loses an electron
Alex Ar [27]

It has a charge shift, which basically means, since there are 2 charges, that it'll filp it's charge:

- If the atom had a positive charge, it'll become negative

- If the atom had a negative charge, it'll become positive

melisa1 [442]

The answers would be:

Genotype                Phenotype

     Tt                      Tall stemmed

     tt                       Short stemmed

Genotypic ratio : 2:2 or 1:1

Phenotypic ratio: 2:2  or 1:1  

<u />

<u>You can read on to see how this was done:</u>

Tall stems (T) are dominant to short stems (t).

First figure out the genotypes of the parents. We have a short-stemmed plant and a heterozygous long-stemmed plant cross.

For short stem to occur, you need 2 pairs of short alleles. So the first parent would have a genotype of tt.

Heterozygous long-stemmed means that the parent has one of each allele. So the genotype of the second parent would be, Tt.

Now we can make our Punnett Square.

tt x Tt

<u>       t        t  </u>

<u>T |  Tt  |   Tt</u>

<u>t  |   tt  |   tt</u>

Let's list down the genotypes and phenotypic results.

Genotype        no.         Phenotype

     Tt                 2           Tall stemmed

     tt                  2           Short stemmed

So from that we can answer the other questions:

Genotypic ratio : 2:2 or 1:1

Phenotypic ratio: 2:2  or 1:1
