Answer: The colors you see in flowers come from the DNA of a plant. Genes in a plant's DNA direct cells to produce pigments of various colors. When a flower is red, for instance, it means that the cells in the petals have produced a pigment that absorbs all colors of light but red.

The petals of the flower are colorful because of their DNA and those colors can mean many things. a lot of flowers have these bright colors to attract pollinators… fun fact if you are wearing a shirt with colorful flowers you probably with have more bees and other pollinators attracted to you

47. This cladogram shows the evolutionary relationships among some mammals
Fed [463]

Complete question:

This cladogram shows the evolutionary relationships among some mammals based on  homologous structures.

(You will find the cladogram in the attached files)

Which statement is supported by this cladogram?

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas.

B Toothed whales are more closely related to mouse deer than to hippopotamuses.

C Javelinas and pigs are more closely related than baleen whales and toothed whales.

D Cows and mouse deer are more closely related than javelinas and pigs.

Answer:

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas.

Explanation:  

A cladogram is a branched diagram of characteristics shared by the organisms of a group, that represents the most probable evolutive history of the linage. Cladograms reflect the phylogenetic relationships among groups through phylogenetic trees.

In the phylogenetic tree, the taxonomic groups of interest are located in the extremes of the lines called branches. The ramification point, which is also called "node" or divergence point, represents the location of the most recent common ancestor.

The common ancestor position will determine how related are two species. If they have a recent common ancestor, they are closely related to each other. On the other hand, if the common ancestor is not recent and is located far away in the tree, then the two species will be less related to each other.  

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas. TRUE. Hippopotamuses share a common more recent ancestor with cows than with javelinas. This means that the hyppopotamus is more related to cows than to javelinas. The arrows in the cladogram (attached file) show the positions of the common ancestor shared by Hippopotamuses and Cows, and the common ancestor shared by Hippopotamuses and Javelinas.  

B Toothed whales are more closely related to mouse deer than to hippopotamuses. FALSE. Tooth whales are more related to the hyppopotamus. Their common ancestor is more recent than the common ancestor between toothed whales and mouse deer. The arrows in the cladogram (attached file) show the positions of the common ancestors.

C Javelinas and pigs are more closely related than baleen whales and toothed whales. FALSE. They are equally related.  

D Cows and mouse deer are more closely related than javelinas and pigs.

FALSE. They are equally related.

The table below summarizes Mendel’s results for the F2 generation. Mendel’s Results Plant height 787 tall 277 short Flower color
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

2001

Explanation:

This question showcases a table that displays Mendel's results (figures) when he crossed pea plants and observed different characters in the plant. Mendel worked with different phenotypic characteristics in the pea plant.

According to the table, the result were for seven characteristics including height, flower color, flower position, pod color, pod shape, seed color, seed shape. Based on the observation of the number of F2 offsprings that possessed dominant trait and recessive trait for each character, we will notice that it follows an approximate phenotypic ratio of 3:1

1. Plant height 787 tall 277 short (3:1)

2. Flower color 705 purple 224 white (3:1)

3. Flower position 651 middle of stem 207 end of stem (3:1)

4. Pod color 428 green 152 yellow (3:1)

5. Pod shape 882 inflated 299 constricted (3:1)

6. Seed color 6,022 yellow X green

7. Seed shape 5,474 smooth 1,850 wrinkled (3:1)

This 3 dominant : 1 recessive ratio is the ratio got in the F2 offsprings when he observed the seven characteristics in pea plants. Hence, the seed color will also follow the same 3:1 ratio

Therefore, 2001 is the result Mendel obtained in the F2 offsprings for the recessive trait of seed color characteristics in his experiment, which actually depicts the 3:1 ratio. Hence, X (green seed color) is 2001
