Gregor Mendel crossed true-breeding plants with green pea pods with true-breeding plants with yellow pea pods. The resulting F1

generation all had green pea pods. What did he observe in the F2 generation?
A. Mendel observed green and yellow pea pods in a 3:1 ratio because the F1 generation was heterozygous.
B. Mendel observed green and yellow pea pods in a 4:1 ratio because the allele for green pea pods is dominant.
C. Mendel observed green and yellow pea pods in a 1:1 ratio because the F2 generation had the same characteristics as the parent generation.
D. Mendel observed only green pea pods because both parents had green pea pods.
E. Mendel observed green and yellow pea pods in a 1:2 ratio because the allele for yellow pea pods is dominant.

Answer:

A. Mendel observed green and yellow pea pods in a 3:1 ratio because the F1 generation was heterozygous.

Explanation:

The two true breeding plants in the parental population were homozygous (that is what true breeding means). Therefore, their cross would lead to all heterozygous offspring (see attached punnet square). Green is the dominant characteristic, so all F1 plants had a green phenotype, but Gg genotype.

The F1 cross would therefore be Gg x Gg. See attached punnet square.

The genotypes in the F2 generation are 1 GG: 2 Gg: 1 gg 1

Therefore, the phenotypic ratio is 3 green pea pods (Gg or GG): 1 yellow (gg)

Which source creates the most direct pollution?
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Water pollution is one of  the most common type of pollution that leads to the deterioration of the water quality mainly due to the man-made interference. Direct and indirect pollution are two of its types. Direct pollution as the term suggests refers to the direct flow of pollutants in the water in contrast to the indirect pollution that  accounts for the transport of pollutants eventually to the water body.

Explanation:

Direct pollution is characterized by the release of toxic fluid directly in the water body. The main source of this type of pollution are the toxic pollutants from the large factories. Some of the other sources includes solid waste from the household activities and waste from agricultural practice like fertilizers, and the waste generated by the waste water treatment plant.
