Answer: The genotype for the parent organism whose genotype is unknown is Ff.
Explanation: Let (F) represent the allele for purple which is dominant over (f) and (f) represent the allele for white.
The parent organism whose genotype is unknown is heterozygous for purple colour (Ff).
A cross between Ff and ff will produce four offsprings: two of which are Ff (heterozygous for purple colour) and two are ff (white).
Ff x ff = Ff, Ff, ff and ff.
Since (F) is dominant over (f), (Ff) will manifest as purple while (ff) will manifest as white. Therefore, half of the offsprings are purple while the other half are white.

Answer:
enable capillarity
Explanation:
It is well known that water tends to adhere to the walls of the vessel in which it is contained. This is due to the force of adhesion which is defined as the force of attraction between unlike molecules. Cohesion is defined as the force of attraction between like molecules. In the case of a plant, cohesion of water molecules in the xylem vessels prevents the water column from breaking. The forces of adhesion, surface tension and cohesion are the basis of capillarity,that is, the rise of liquids in capillary tubes.
Answer: The correct answer is -
D) giraffes having increasingly longer necks over time.
Natural selection is an evolutionary mechanism that was proposed by Darwin.
According to this mechanism, organisms that are better capable of adapting to their changing environmental conditions, survive and increase their number through reproduction whereas other are eliminated from the population.
Example - Long neck of Giraffe, which is much elongated, lofty stature, that was beautifully adapted for browsing on the higher tree branches. This was an adaptation with slow and gradual change in the gene frequency as the lower vegetation was eaten by other animals. Due to this, giraffes had to search for other source (that was higher tree branches).
This is considered as a peculiar example of natural selection.
Answer:
About 95 percent of the skin cells in the epidermis are devoted to creating new skin cells in the lower two levels of the epidermis, which then cycle to the top layer to help form the stratum corneum. Eventually the dead cells of the stratum corneum flake off as new keratinocytes move up, and the cycle repeats itself.
Hope this answer is right!!
