Answer:

Intermolecular forces. Water is a dipole and acts like a magnet, with the oxygen end having a negative charge and the hydrogen end having a positive charge. These charged ends can attract other water molecules.

Answer:

Intermolecular forces

Water is a dipole and acts like a magnet, with the oxygen end having a negative charge and the hydrogen end has a positive charge. These charged ends can attract other water molecules.

The entire electron densities of the two hydrogen atoms get attracted towards the oxygen atom. Thus a polarity develops in each O−H bond, and therefore, the water molecules are polar in nature and act like little magnets.

If a true-breeding blue-flowered plant was crossed with a true-breeding white-flowered plant, what phenotypic ratio would we obs

Westkost [7]

Answer:

B. 100 percent white

Explanation:

According to Mendel's law of dominance, the dominant allele of a gene masks the expression of the recessive allele in a heterozygous state. Therefore, when two pure breeding plants that differ with respect to one genetic trait are crossed, the progeny expresses only the dominant phenotype. Here, one allele should be completely dominant over the other. The allele for the white flowers is completely dominant over the allele for the blue flowers.

Let' assume that the allele "W" imparts white color to the flowers while the allele "w" gives blue color. When a true-breeding blue-flowered plant (ww) is crossed with a true-breeding white-flowered plant (WW), the progeny would be heterozygous for the dominant allele "W" and would exhibit "white color of flowers" (the dominant trait).

WW (white-flowered plant) x ww (blue-flowered plant) = Ww (white-flowered plant)
