The suncoast tree of northwest Africa is known for 2 traits that are said to show simple dominance. The 2 traits are height and

ivann1987 [24]

The genotypes would be bbTT X BbTt

Assuming that bark color is represented by B (b) allele and height is represented by T (t) allele.

Since the traits show simple dominance: blue (B) of dominant over purple (b) and tall (T) is dominant over short (t)

The genotype of a tree that is purebred purple (bb) and tall (TT) would be bbTT
The genotype of a tree that is heterozygous for both trait would be BbTt
Thus, the cross would be bbTT x BbTt

Why doesnt plants and bacteria expand when it reaches water

kap26 [50]

When the plants and bacteria reach water, they get into a hypotonic solution means, the concentration of solutes is greater inside the cell than outside of it. When the plant and bacteria are placed in water, they take up water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting. The plant cell become turgid. Turgidity means the cells are swollen and hard. The increase in pressure makes the cell rigid. This is why they do not expand and burst.

Explain in detail how acid rain is formed

Strike441 [17]

Answer: Acid rain is a product of the chemical reaction of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide that is released with water, oxygen, and other chemicals into the atmosphere. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide dissolve in water and can be carried several miles by the wind. After traveling for a long distance, the two compounds become part of rain, sleet, snow or fog. Power plants emit sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide when fossil fuels such as coal are burned to produce electricity. Aswell as the exhaust from cars, trucks, and buses releases sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the air.
