Answer:

25%

Explanation:

According to this question, a seek stored seeds of a rare and endangered plant. In order to ensure that the seeds remain fresh, 120 seeds are selected to be grown. However, out of these 120 seeds, only 90 germinated. This means that only 90 of 120 seeds are fertile.

This further means that (120-90) = 30 seeds are infertile and hence, could not germinate. In percentage, this can be represented as:

30/120 × 100

= 1/4 × 100

= 100/4

= 25% of the selected seeds are infertile.

Recessive traits would never reappear if
adell [148]

Recessive traits would never reappear if zygotes were given opposite alleles.

<h3>What do you mean by Zygote?</h3>

Zygote may be defined as the outcome of the fusion of male and female gametes after successful fertilization.

Recessive traits are only expressed when both the copies of recessive genes are inherited from the parents.

Therefore, recessive traits would never reappear if zygotes were given opposite alleles.

How are the virus and bacterium similar
geniusboy [140]
All viruses have is a protein coat and a core of genetic material, either RNA or DNA. Unlike bacteria, viruses can't survive without a host. They can only reproduce by attaching themselves to cells. Unlike bacteria, most viruses do cause disease, and they're quite specific about the cells they attack.

When selecting among multiple possible phylogenetic trees that fit our data, we commonly use the principle of _____, which means
nordsb [41]

a. parsimony; simplest; fewest

When selecting among multiple possible phylogenetic trees that fit our data, we commonly use the principle of <u>parsimony</u>, which means we choose the <u>simplest</u> possible hypothesis. In phylogenetic analysis, that means selecting the tree that represents the <u>fewest</u> evolutionary changes or mutations.

Explanation:

Phylogeny describes the evolutionary history of on organism or group of organisms.  

A phylogenetic tree structure is used to describe the relationship between various organisms which have originated from common ancestors.  

The Principle of Parsimony is best applied while constructing phylogenetic tree.  

This principle emphasizes on simple observations on a phylogeny which requires only few changes or variations which explain for the difference between the phylogenic sequences.  

This tree structure will only have few specific genetic variations or mutations or evolutionary changes which took place through new appearance of a trait or disappearance of an existing trait.

The value of photosynthetically active radiation above which no further increase in photosynthesis occurs is referred to as:
makkiz [27]
The right answer is <span>the light saturation point.

More light usually results in higher photosynthesis levels. However, with the increase of the intensity of the light, the photosynthesis rate eventually reaches a maximum point. This point is called "luminous saturation point".

When this point is reached, the intensity of the light does not increase the rate of photosynthesis and the rate of photosynthesis curve ceases to increase.
