Explain incomplete dominance, using snapdragon flowers as an example.

Biology
1 answer:

Answer:

Dominant allele does not completely conceal recessive allele.

Snapdragon with genotype Rr (R being red and r being white), would have a phenotype of pink flowers.

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is where a dominant allele is not able to completely conceal a recessive allele, usually leading to a phenotype which appears to be a combination of the two.

For example, in snapdragons:

The allele for red flowers (R) is dominant over the allele for white flowers (r). Let's say a snapdragon flower had the genotype Rr, one allele for red flowers and one for white. In the case of 'normal' dominance the dominant red flower allele (R) would mask the effects of the recessive white flower allele (r), resulting in the phenotype (outward observable characteristics) of having red flowers.

However here in the case of incomplete dominance, the dominant allele would not be able to fully cover up the effects of the white flower allele, meaning that both colors (red and white) are expressed in the phenotype, resulting in pink flowers.

Hope this helped!

Which of the followings statements is true?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D, Unconfined aquifers​ are found between two layers of impermeable soil or rock.

Explanation:

An unconfined aquifer is not confined by rock layer on both of its side. Usually the ground water level (GWL) is considered as the upper layer of unconfined aquifer. Also the rocky layer found on the other side of the unconfined aquifer is not impermeable as the major source of recharge of unconfined aquifer is the seepage of water through is permeable layer or through rain.

Well it couldnt be an animal cell becuase animal cells dont have cell walls. And plant cells have a cell membrane not a plasma membrane so it should be a prokaryotic cell.
