I think that it’s c but I could be wrong!
Answer:
The correct answer is D: diploid phase
Explanation:
The essence of plant life is their characteristic property of alternation of generations. Each plant undergoes alternation of generations and produces haploid and diploid generations.
This property allows the plant to reproduce both sexually and asexually. Primitive plant species used to reproduce through spores and spent the majority of their life as haploid cells. These cells were called as spores and required only matter and energy to reproduce.
Modern plant species reproduce by using gametes and spent the majority of their life in diploid phase called diploid sporophytes.
Answer:
B) A little cellular respiration was taking place but not enough for growth.
Explanation:
Germination is a biological process that has a high energy demand, this requirement being fulfilled by cellular respiration. Cellular respiration enables the germinating seeds to convert chemical energy from oxygen (O2) molecules and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cells. Cellular respiration increases as seeds emerge and begin to germinate. In this case, cellular respiration was not enough to fulfill the energy requirements of the germinating soybean seeds, which can be measured by the amount of O2 consumed during this process.
Answer:
The phenotypic ratio will be 3:1
Explanation:
As per this question there are two phenotypes for seed color, yellow and green. Both the parents are true breeding that means they are homozygous for this trait. Also, all the F1 plants have yellow seed color which clearly indicates that yellow seed color is a dominant trait while green is recessive trait.
The cross of true breeding plants as mentioned above is depicted as under:
Parents YY x yy
/ \ / \
F1 generation Yy Yy Yy Yy
So, as per the law of dominance because of the presence of Y allele, all these progeny will be yellow in color.
Next, when these F1 plants will be crossed, the result will be as under:
F1 generation Yy x Yy
/ \ / \
F2 generation YY Yy Yy yy
The genotypic ratio of F2 generation is 1:2:1
The phenotypic ratio of F2 generation is 3:1
It simply means that in F2 generation, 3 progeny which have allelic combination YY & Yy will be yellow colored while 1 progeny which has allelic combination yy will have green color.
