Answer:

The correct answer would be option D.

Explanation:

Pollen of a plant is a gamete, that contains half of the alleles are required to produce the plant. Pollen fuse with stigma and complete the required alleles or genetic information.

Possible combinations in pollen would be one allele from each trait in every form either dominant or recessive. So ST, St, sT, st. would be the correct possible genetic combination present in a single grain.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

There are two different traits represented by the term "SsTt". Where "S" is the allele for a dominant trait 1 and "s" is the allele for a recessive trait 1.  Like wise "T" is the allele for a dominant trait 2 and "t" is the allele for recessive trait 2.

In a genetic combination , both the  allels of both the traits will pair up with each other one by one.

i.e "T" will pair up with both "S" and "s" to form "TS" and "Ts" gametes

Similarly "t"will pair up with both "S" and "s" to form "tS" and "ts" gametes

Hence, option D is correct

What environmental factor does the pyramid of energy incorporate that prevents it from inverting? a. population size b. species
svetoff [14.1K]

The correct answer is (C) biomass at each trophic level

Pyramid of energy is a graphic representation of amount of energy trapped per unit time and area in different trophic levels of a food chain with producers forming the base and top carnivores the tip. As the biomass of producers are always greater than the carnivores, the pyramid of energy can't be inverted.

The biodiversity of cultivated crops is currently under threat from industrial
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The wastes or run off of the industrial farming enters the water and nearby cultivated crops, this waste consist of chemicals and pesticides mostly, that are the cause of destruction of not only the cultivated crops but also the useful soil-borne rhizoshpere bacteria too. On the other hand climate change impacting from emission of greenhouse gases, increase air pollution and also cause deforestation. Such circumstances could all lead to the extinction of important crops.

In order to avoid these problems, proper waste management systems should be developed to dispose the waste of industries and others at area that is far from the population or cultivation. The climate change resulting from the pollution could be avoided by the use of filtered products for the smokes, so that filter could absorb harmful substances and the smoke released in air would not be that much toxic. Moreover, there is the need to identify and grow such crops that can adapt these environmental changes.

A team of biologists develop a new drug, and one team member hypothesizes that the drug is incapable of freely passing across th
matrenka [14]

Answer:

<em>B: The drug is a small charged molecule</em>

Explanation:

Substances can passively diffuse in and out of the cell via the cell membrane in two ways;

  • Simple diffusion
  • Facilitated diffusion

The cell membrane allows small molecules or ions to freely diffuse across it in response to concentration difference between the inner and outer parts of the cell membrane. This is known as simple diffusion.

In facilitated diffusion, special proteins in the cell membrane, known as channel/carrier proteins binds with molecules and facilitates their diffusion across the cell membrane by carrying them through special channels in the membrane.

Hence, to support the alternative hypothesis that the new drug will exhibit simple diffusion across the plasma membrane, the drug should be a small charged molecule.

<em>Correct option: B</em>
