For a student to have inherited left handedness from parents who are both right handed, it means that the left-handed trait is recessive in both parents.

The pattern of inheritance of handedness can, thus, said to be simple dominant/recessive with the right handedness trait being dominant while the left handedness is recessive.

Let us assume that right-handedness is represented by the allele A and left-handedness by the allele a.

The two parents are heterozygous, hence, their genotypes each would be Aa.

                Aa   x   Aa

            AA   Aa   Aa   aa

From the cross, 3/4 of their children would be right handed (AA or Aa) while 1/4 would be left handed (aa). The student in question must have been from the 1/4.

devlian [24]

A root of a cotton plant must overcome various potential forces such as gravitational forces that pulls water downward, matric forces where there is an adhesion of water molecules from a soil and osmotic forces where attracting water in the presence of large amount of soluble salts in the mixture of soil.

If the soil were compacted by a heavy vehicle, the matric forces would be mostly affected for compaction will result to increase matric forces due to reduced size of pores of the soil making it more difficult to draw water from a solid surface.

lana [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is -transfer fixed carbon dioxide to cells in which the Calvin cycle occurs

Explanation:

In C4 plants the light reaction and Calvin cycle occurs in two different cell that are mesophyll cell and bundle sheath cells. First, the CO₂ is fixed into 4- carbon oxaloacetate by an enzyme PEP carboxylase.  

Then this oxaloacetate is converted into a simpler form called malate. Malate molecule then enters into bundle sheet cell and there it releases one molecule of CO₂. This CO₂ enters the Calvin cycle which results in the sugar formation with the help of enzyme rubisco.

Therefore by releasing of CO₂ molecule by malate in bundle sheet cells, it transfer fixed carbon for the Calvin cycle to occur.
