The variation of kernel color in corn plants is an inherited trait. R is the dominant allele for red kernels in a corn plant and

r is the recessive allele for yellow kernels.
What is the probability that a corn plant with the genotype Rr crossed with a corn plant rr will have offspring with the genotype rr? Express your answer as a fraction using numerals for numbers and / for the fraction bar. Do not include spaces.

The answer is 1/2.

If:
R - t<span>he dominant allele for red kernels
r - t</span><span>he recessive allele for yellow kernels

Then:
RR - dominant homozygote
Rr - heterozygote
rr - recessive homozygote

The cross Rr x rr will result in 1/2 of offspring with red kernels (Rr) and 1/2 of offspring with yellow kernels (rr):
Parental generation:      Rr      x      rr
Offspring generation:  Rr    Rr     rr      rr
So, there are 2 out of 4 Rr offspring (2/4 = 1/2) and 2 out of 4 rr offspring (2/4 = 1/2).</span>

Discuss why prokaryotic cells probably appeared before eukaryotic cells​
dsp73

Answer:

Prokaryotes are smaller and less developed compared to eukaryotes. Some of them inhabit very primitive environments that resemble earth’s early stages. Endosymbiotic theory states that eukaryotes arose by the endosymbiosis of prokaryotes.

Explanation

By endosymbiont theory, eukaryotic cells arise from prokaryotic cells. Here, the theory shows that eukaryotic ancestors lived in close association with prokaryotes, wherein in some cases, prokaryotes have been engulfed and might have lived inside eukaryotes.

Upon being engulfed by a host cell as undigested prey, these prokaryotes could have been internal parasites of the eukaryotes. But, later on, their relationship becomes mutualistic and these prokaryotes become incorporated as organelles, such as in the case of chloroplasts and mitochondria, which were previously separate prokaryotes
