Answer:
The question lacks options, the options are:
A) 1 out of 16
B) 3 out of 16
C) 6 out of 16
D) 9 out of 16
The answer is 1 out of 16
Explanation:
This is a DIHYBRID cross because it involves two different genes coding for distinct traits. One of the traits will be dominant while the other recessive. Hence, parents that are purebred for opposite forms of the trait means that one parent is homozygous dominant while the other is homozygous recessive. When these two parents cross, they produce F1 offsprings that all possess the dominant trait but heterozygous/hybrids.
When these hybrids are self-crossed, they produce four different combinations of gametes which when crossed using a punnet square will result in F2 offsprings with a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio according to Mendel's observation.
9 represents offsprings that are dominant for both traits
The two 3's represents offsprings that are recessive for one trait and dominant for the other respectively.
1 represents offsprings that are homozygous recessive for both traits.
Hence, 1 out of 16 offsprings will be homozygous recessive for both traits.
The correct answer for this question is: "<span>B) kidneys clean the blood by filtering it to remove wastes." Kidneys clean the blood by filtering it and removing the waste.
The correct answer for this question is: "</span><span>A) secretes excess water as sweat." The role of the skin in the excretory system is to secrete waste and excess water as sweat.</span>
<u>Answer</u>: Sperm cell
<u>Explanation</u>:
Amongst all the 4 options given, only the Sperm cell is a gamete (sex cell) while all the three are somatic cells.
- A <em>somatic</em> cell is the one which forms the body of an organism and contains all the genetic information.
- A <em>gamete</em> is the one which is required for the purpose of fertilization. A gamete of male fuses with the gamete of female in a process called fertilization to form a zygote to give rise to a new individual.
- A Sperm cell is basically a <em>male gamete.</em> It contains only half the amount of genetic information as the other half is contributed by the female gamete.
- This difference in the amount of genetic information arises due to the type of cell division that occurs. The somatic cells undergo mitosis whereas a gamete requires meiosis to occur for its formation.
- During mitosis there is a single round of cell division which divides the parent cell into two daughter cells each with the <em>complete genetic information</em>.
- During meiosis the cell undergoes two rounds of cell division such that a total lf 4 cells are produced each <em>with half the amount of genetic material </em>as present in the parent cell.
Since, <em>sperm is a male gamete and is formed by meiosis it contains only half the genetic information as compared to the other cells.</em>
2 is the answer I THINK look at other ones first
as in any liquid, as heat is added, solutions become more capable of holding more dissolved material . (not sure if this is what you're asking as it seems to be missing information)
