A. The following statements are hypotheses:
1. Glucose may cause an increase in bacterial growth.
2. Increased glucose may lead to capsule formation in bacteria.
B. The following statements are observations:
1. The bacterial colony grown without glucose do not have capsules around their cells.
2. Bacteria growth in the glucose environment increase rapidly and then stopped after sometime.
Answer:
Wind
Explanation:
Gymnosperms can be described as plants which lack flowers and fruits.
As they do not have flowers to attract insects like the angiosperms, they can, however, transfer their pollen through the wind. As pollen is very light in weight hence, it can be transported by the wind. The pollen transported by the wind usually results in self-pollination as the wind is not able to take the pollen to long distances.
Schizocoelic development
The coelom is a fluid-filled body cavity, where the internal organs are suspended in. It is the cavity between the wall of the body and the digestive tract.
In the schizocoelic development of the embryo, the coelom, called the schizocoel, develops as a split in the mesoderm. The outer layer of the mesoderm attaches with the ectoderm to form a body's musculature, while the inner layer attaches with the endoderm to form the wall of the digestive tract.
This type of development is commonly found in annelids, arthropods, and mollusks.
Answer:
Explanation:
<em>The probability of producing plants with white axial flowers would be 1/16.</em>
From the illustration, All F1 individuals had red, axial flowers. It thus means that red and axial genes are dominant over white and terminal genes in the pea plant.
Let us assume that the allele for flower color is A (red) and a (white); and the allele for flower location is B (axial) and b (terminal).
Pure-breeding red, axial flower = AABB
Pure breeding white, terminal flower = aabb
AABB x aabb
F1 genotype = AaBb - all red and axial
At F2:
AaBb x AaBb
Progeny
<em>9 A_B_ red/axial</em>
<em>3 A_bb red/terminal</em>
<em>3 aaB_ white/axial</em>
<em>1 aabb - white/terminal</em>
Hence, the probability of producing plants with white axial flowers in the F2 generation is 1/16.
