Answer:

25%

Explanation:

According to normal i.e. Mendelian dominance if 2 heterozygotes for a particular character are crossed then phenotypically, 25% off-springs will show recessive trait while 75% will show dominant trait.

Let us consider a pea plant for seed shape character in which 'R' allele represents dominant character and gives round shape while 'r allele' is responsible for recessive character and gives wrinkled shape to seeds.

The cross is depicted as under:

Parentals              Rr           x         Rr

                          /        \                  /     \

Progeny          RR       Rr          Rr         rr          

Hence, 3 (RR, Rr & Rr) out of the 4 off-springs will show dominant trait while only 1 (rr) will have recessive trait. The progeny with 'Rr genotype' will also show dominant trait phenotypically because R allele which is dominant will mask the expression of r allele which is responsible for recessive phenotype.

The answer is 25%. The other 75% will have dominant phenotype. However, in the dominant phenotype, 25% have a homozygous dominant genotype, while the remaining 50% have a heterozygous genotype. Find attached a punnet square that will clearly illustrate this;

What is digestion and how does it work
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma. In certain organisms, these smaller substances are absorbed through the small intestine into the blood stream.

Explanation:

Digestion works by moving food through the GI tract. Digestion begins in the mouth with chewing and ends in the small intestine. As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body then absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, which delivers them to the rest of the body. Waste products of digestion pass through the large intestine and out of the body as a solid matter called stool.

Cell communication involves a cell detecting and responding to signals from other cells. Receptor molecules play an important ro
Bumek [7]

Explanation:

-the specific binding of a region of the protein to solutes or a substrate

Transmembrane proteins are embedded within the membrane from the extracellular fluid to the cytoplasm, and are sometimes attached to glycoproteins (proteins attached to carbohydrates) which function as cell surface markers or function as receptors.

These include receptor proteins that bind specifically to molecules called lingands; some also use channels which respond to chemical signals by modifying solute-specific regions that aid in regulating ion exchange, through the hydrophobic layer of the plasma membrane.
