<span>A cell in the leaf of a corn plant contains more chloroplast which is use to absorb light compare to the cell found in the stem of a corn plant. When compared to the cell in the stem, the cell leaf synthesizes more sugar for it has more chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis.</span>

In plants tall (T) is dominant to short (t) and round seed is dominant to wrinkled seeds (r). If a parent is short and wrinkled
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Parent cross= ttrr (short, wrinkled) × TtRr (hybrid)

POSSIBLE GAMETES BY EACH PARENT:

ttrr - tr, tr, tr, and tr

TtRr - TR, Tr, tR, and tr

Explanation:

This question involves two genes in a certain plant. One gene is coding for height while the other is coding for seed shape. The alleles for tallness (T) and round seeds (R) is dominant over the alleles for shortness (t) and wrinkled seeds (r).

According to this question, a parent that is short and wrinkled (ttrr) is crossed with another parent that is hybrid (TtRr) for both traits. This means that the parent cross is as follows: ttrr × TtRr

The possible combination of gametes that will be produced by each parent is as follows:

ttrr - tr, tr, tr, and tr

TtRr - TR, Tr, tR, and tr

See attached image for the punnet square using these gametes.

Fungi feed through extracellular digestion and then absorption. How would the rates of decomposition of detritus be altered if f
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Decomposition rates would be lowered because fungi would be destroyed.

Explanation:

The fungi are considered one of the decomposers of nature along with ascomycetes and the bacteria. The fungi are considered decomposers as the heterotrophic organism which absorbs the nutrients from the organism.

In the given question, when the fungicide was sprayed on the area with the fungus, then the decomposition rate of that area will decrease as the fungicide kills the fungi. As a result of this killing, the rate of decomposition will decrease in that area.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

Identify the true statement. Choose one: A. The Sahara Desert has always been an arid region with few surface-water streams. B.
faltersainse [42]

B. Oases are sourced by springs and are regions where groundwater intersects the land surface.

Explanation:

The only true statement is that oases are sourced by springs and regions where ground water intersects the land surface.

  • Oases are water bodies found in desert and arid areas.
  • They are usually surrounded by fertile patches of soil.
  • Oases forms when the land surface intersects the water table.
  • They can also be fed by temporary surface water from nearby rivers.

Fossil remains have suggested that the region of the Sahara desert was once a lush green tropical region.

In present day, it is a desert with huge underground water reserves in aquifers.
