Answer:

See attached image for detailed punnet squares and diagrams

a) F1 generation: Purple flower and spiny pods (PpSs) offsprings

b) F2 generation: Puple flower, spiny pods (9), Purple flower, smooth pods (3), White flower, spiny pods (3), white flower, smooth pods (1).

c) The progenies are: PpSS (4), PpSs (4), ppSS (4), and ppSs (4)

d) The progenies are: PPSs (4), PPss (4), PpSs (4), Ppss (4)

Explanation:

This question involves two distinct genes in jimsonweed; one coding for flower colour and the other for pod texture. The alleles for purple colour (P) and spiny pods (S) are dominant over the alleles of white flower (p) and smooth pods (s) in the two genes respectively.

A true-breeding plant with white flowers and spiny pods will have genotype: ppSS while a true-breeding plant with purple flowers and smooth pods will have genotype: PPss. In a cross between these two parents, the following combinations of gametes will be produced:

ppSS- pS, pS, pS and pS

PPss- Ps, Ps, Ps, PS

a) Hence, the F1 offsprings from this cross will possess a heterozygous genotype: PpSs, which is phenotypically purple-flowered and spiny-pod.

b) if the F1 offsprings are self-crossed i.e. PpSs × PpSs, gametes PS, Ps, pS, ps will be produced by each parent. These gametes will be used in a punnet square (see attached image) to produce the following F2 offsprings in proportion:

Purple flower, spinny pods (9)

Purple flower, smooth pods (3)

White flower, spiny pods (3)

White flower, smooth pods (1)

c) if the F1 offsprings are crossed back with the white, spiny parent i.e. PpSs × ppSS. The following progeny of offsprings will be produced: (see attached image)

PpSS (4),

PpSs (4),

ppSS (4), and

ppSs (4)

d) if the F1 offsprings are crossed back with the purple, smooth parent i.e. PpSs × PPss, the following progeny will be produced:

PPSs (4),

PPss (4),

PpSs (4), and

Ppss (4)

Complete question:

Imagine a newly discovered biological molecule that is mostly hydrophobic in its structure. This new molecule will most likely be classified as a___________.

a. Proteins

b. Lipids

c. Nucleic acids

d. Carbohydrates

Answer:

b. Lipids

Explanation:

Lipids are the biomolecules that are mostly nonpolar in nature. Storage lipids such as fatty acids and oils have small or long chains of hydrocarbons. This makes them largely hydrophobic. Similarly, phospholipids have fatty acid chains that make their hydrophobic component. Steroids are also the lipids that have a distinct sterol nucleus in their structure. This makes then hydrophobic. Therefore, most of the lipids have structural components that make them largely hydrophobic molecules. So, the newly discovered molecule is most likely a lipid.

Answer:

D. Plasmids are nucleic acids which can pass on traits

Explanation:

A Nucleic acid is one of the four biomolecule polymers in living systems. It is made up of monomeric units called Nucleotides. RNA and DNA are the two nucleic acids in existence and they function in storage and expression of genetic information.

According to the question, a colony of bacteria that can break plastics were mixed with the colony that can't break plastics. The two different colonies engage plamids, which conferred the ability to break plastics to some of the colonies that previously couldn't. This tells us that the ability to break plastics in the certain bacteria colony is GENETIC.

If the trait is genetic, the plasmid must be a nucleic acid because of the ability to genetically pass on traits. Note that, a plasmid is an extra-chromosomal DNA (nucleic acid) capable of replicating on its own. Hence, plasmids are nucleic acids which can pass on traits.

Percent error is a statistical tool used for evaluating precision. It is expressed as:

Percent error = | (experimental value - theoretical value) / theoretical value | x 100%

Experimental value represents the calculated value while the theoretical value represents the known value. A percent error value which is approaching zero means that your experimental value is close to the known value. Which can possibly mean that you have precise measurements. Calculations are as follows:

Percent Error = | (2.54 - 2.70) / 2.70 | x 100 =5.93%

Thus, the answer is b. 5.93%.
