Answer:

75%

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for flower color in pea plants. The allele for purple flowers (T) is dominant over the allele for white flowers (t).

According to the question, two heterozygous purple-flowered plants (Tt) are crossed i.e. Tt × Tt. The following gametes will be produced by each parent; T and t. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following proportion of offsprings will be produced:

TT, Tt, Tt, and tt.  

Since purple allele (T) is dominant, offsprings TT, Tt, and Tt will be phenotypically purple-flowered. Hence, ¾ × 100 = 75% of offsprings will have purple flowers.

What is a european starlings ecological role
makkiz [27]
European Starlings have a significant impact on their environment because they congregate in such large numbers.  They probably play a role in seed dispersal because of their consumption of a wide variety of fruits.  European Starlings also control some insect populations, but since they will eat almost anything they cannot be relied upon to eat only pests.  Insects they are known to feed on include the larvae of craneflies (Tipulidae) and moths (Lepidoptera) as well as mayflies (Ephemeroptera), dragonflies and damsel flies (Odonata), grasshoppers (Orthoptera), earwigs (Dermaptera), lacewings (Neuroptera), caddis flies (Trichoptera), flies (Diptera), sawflies, ants, bees and wasps (Hymenoptera) and beetles (Coleoptera).  They will also eat small vertebrates such as lizards and frogs, as well as snails (Gastropoda) and earthworms (Annelida).  European Starlings have a particular technique of inserting their closed bill into the ground or an object and then prying the bill open, creating a small hole.  This allows them to forage efficiently in soil and among roots as well as in feed troughs and on the backs of ungulates where they search for ectoparisites.

Why do melting ice caps make Earth warmer?
frozen [14]

Why do melting ice caps make Earth warmer?

The correct answer is C. Albedo decreases.

When the albedo is lower, more radiation from the Sun gets absorbed by the planet resulting in rise of temperature. When the snow covered area warms up and melts, the albedo goes down and more sunlight is absorbed in that area and the temperatures increase.
