Answer:

Ss (male) × Ss (female)

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. Based on the information in this question, the allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s). This means that a guinea pig will only be phenotypically long-haired if the genotype is "ss".

According to this question, Two short-haired guinea pigs are mated several times. Out of the 100 offsprings produced by this cross, 25 of them have long hair (recessive). This means that the phenotypic ratio of this cross is 3 short hair : 1 long hair i.e. 100 - 25 = 75 short hair. 75/25 = 3/1 = 3:1

To produce this phenotypic ratio, the parents must both be heterozygous (Ss) for the hair length gene.

Why is it important that root hair cells have high ion concentration?
andre [41]

Root hair cells are adapted for taking up water and mineral ions by having a large surface area to increase the rate of absorption. They also contain lots of mitochondria , which release energy from glucose during respiration in order to provide the energy needed for active transport.

What is an inducable enzyme ​
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

An adaptive enzyme or inducible enzyme is an enzyme that is expressed only under conditions in which it is clear of adaptive value, as opposed to a constitutive enzyme which is produced all the time. The Inducible enzyme is used for the breaking-down of things in the cell.
