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)

Answer:

d. The normal pH of human blood is already in the alkaline range.

Explanation:

The blood has an average pH between 7.35 and 7.45. Also, in blood there are some natural buffers that allows to maintain this pH does not matter the kind of food or substances that enter to our body.

If for any process the pH decreases a little bit, the body starts a process to recover the natural pH of the blood.

Where 99% of photosynthesis occurs

densk [106]

Answer:

Photosynthesis takes place inside plant cells in small things called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts (mostly found in the mesophyll layer) contain a green substance called chlorophyll. Below are the other parts of the cell that work with the chloroplast to make photosynthesis happen.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE about Red Blood Cells (RBCs)? a) A normal RBC has a nucleus RBCs' production is

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

RBCs' production is controlled by erythropoietin.

Mature RBCs are released into the bloodstream after approximately seven days RBCs are produced in the bone marrow

Explanation:

The hormone erythropoietin is produced and released in the bloodstream by peritubular interstitial cells of kidneys. The function of erythropoietin is to increase the number of the precursors of red blood cells and thereby to stimulate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. When the oxygen supply to body cells is reduced, the hormone erythropoietin stimulates the development of proerythroblasts into reticulocytes and thereby increases the RBC production.

RBCs are produced by the process of erythropoiesis and take about seven days to become mature and to be released in circulation to serve the function of oxygen delivery. The maturation of RBCs also includes the loss of most of the organelles such as the nucleus and mitochondria to accommodate hemoglobin protein. The life span of circulating RBCs is about 100-120 days.

Eukaryotic cells have a large complex cytoskeleton. Especially in animal cells, they are very large why is this? What is the dif

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Eukariotic cells are bigger and complex than bacteria. The difference between cystoskeleton of eukariotic and bacteria cells is the type of proetein in each one.

Explanation:

The cytoskeleton is composed mainly in arrays of protein filaments. Its function is to maintain the shape of the cell, maintain in place the organelles (such as mitochondria, nucleus, etc.) and the transport throughout the cell. Every cell has a cytoskeleton, eukaryotic, bacteria and archaea. Eukaryotic cells are bigger than bacteria and have more organelles in them to maintain in place, this is why cytoskeleton are bigger and complex. The bacteria are a single cell, simpler, with a few organelles, the cytoskeleton is more simple but important. The cytoskeleton is similar in both, the difference is the type of proteins in them. In bacteria are simple proteins, meanwhile, in eukaryotic are a complex protein.
