To protect it from the acids
If iodine solution reacts with starch, it will change color into black.
Since the yellow-orange iodine solution stayed the same <span>color when it was put on the apple, it can be concluded that there is no starch in the apple. On the other case, the black color of the potato suggests that there is a great amount of starch in the potato. Anyway, this does not mean that there is no starch in the apple at all. As fruits ripen, starch slowly changes to sugar. Iodine cannot react with sugar, so the black color in the apple is missing.</span>
A. Nutrients, vitamins would also be a correct answer
Answer:
<u><em>The correct options are:</em></u>
<u><em>All traits are inherited.</em></u>
<u><em>Offspring inherit one allele for a gene from each parent.</em></u>
<u><em>An offspring with two identical alleles for a trait is homozygous.</em></u>
Explanation:
- In the biological world, a trait can be described as a genetic characteristic which makes up an organism. Every organism has a particular set of traits.
- Traits are inherited from parents, however they can be influenced by the environment.
- The alleles of a gene make up the genotype and the influencing phenotype. An organism acquires one allele for the gene pair from each parent.
- When both the alleles of a gene pair are similar, the organism is said to be homozygous for the trait. If both the alleles of a gene pair are different, the organism is said to be heterozygous for the trait.
INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE INHERITANCE:
<span>5. In Andalusian fowl, B is the gene for black plumage (head feathers) and B' (pronounced "B prime") is the gene for white plumage. These genes, however, show incomplete dominance. The heterozygous (BB') condition results in blue plumage. List the genotypic and phenotypic ratios expected from the following crosses: a) black x blue b) blue x blue c) blue x white</span>
<span>6. </span><span>In snapdragons, petal color is determined by a single gene locus with two alleles making the "red" allele (R) incompletely dominant to the "white" allele (r). Heterozygotes have petals, which are neither red nor white, but pink. a) If a true-breeding red flower is pollinated with pollen from a white flower: What fraction of the seeds (F1 generation) would be expected to produce red-flowered plants? What fraction of the gametes produced by the F1 plants would be expected to bear the R allele? b) If two pink flowered plants are crossed, what genotypic and phenotypic ratios are expected among the offspring (F1 generation)?</span>
