Answer:
The stigma, a female structure which collects pollen and passes it to the ovary
Explanation:
<u>The structure represented by the letter A in the diagram is the stigma.</u>
The <u>stigma of a flower represents part of the female reproductive structure</u>. The surface of a mature stigma is sticky and as such, it is able to attract pollen grains from the anther. A pollen that lands on the stigma germinates and its pollen tube grows through the style of the stigma down to the ovule where one of the sperm cells of the pollen fertilizes the egg cell of the ovule to form a diploid zygote and the other sperm cell fuses with the polar nuclei of the ovary to form a triploid cell that eventually becomes the endosperm.
<em>The sepal and the petal are labeled as D and C in the diagram respectively while the stamen is made up of B and H.</em>
It’s D. Carbohydrates are broken down and release ATP energy during cellular respiration.
Answer:
C)Parental: 41% Dr, 41% dR; recombinant: 9% DR, 9% dr.
Explanation:
The notation Dr/dR for genotypes means that one homologous chromosome has the alleles Dr and the other homologous chromosome has the alleles dR.
The heterozygous plant Dr/dR will produce 4 types of gametes: two identical to the chromosmes the individual has in its somatic cells (called parental), and two gametes which will be a mix of the alleles in the homologous chromosomes (called recombinant).
- Dr: parental
- dR: parental
- DR: recombinant
- dr: recombinant
To calculate the frequency of each type of gamete, we must use the formula:
Distance (map units) / 100 = frequency of recombination.
18 mu / 100 = 0.18.
The total frequency of recombination between the genes D and R is 0.18, but every time crossing over happens, two recombinant gametes are generated. Therefore, each recombinant gamete will have a frequency of 0.18/2=0.09 = 9%.
The frequency of parental gametes will be:
1 - frequency of recombinant gametes
1 - 0.18 = 0.82
But there are 2 parental gametes, so each of them will have a frequency of 0.82/2=0.41 = 41%.
They knew traits were inherited, but they did not know why.
