In a flowering plant species, red flower color is dominant over white flower color. What is the genotype of any red-flowering plant resulting from this species? A) red and white alleles present on one chromosome
B) red and white alleles present on two chromosomes
C) a red allele present on both homologous chromosomes
D) a red allele present on at least one of two homologous chromosomes

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: D
For a dominant allele to be present in the phenotype, it must be present on at least one of the homologous chromosomes in the genotype.
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer: The correct answer is - D) a red allele present on at least one of two homologous chromosomes (with genotype Rr).

Dominant trait (depicted by dominant allele, which is present in capital letter such as 'R' for red) is the one that masks the expression of recessive trait (depicted by small letter such as 'r' for white).

For a dominant trait to express, its genotype can be homozygous dominant ( that is having both the alleles as dominant RR) or heterozygous dominant (having both dominant and recessive allele such as Rr).

On the other hand, for a recessive trait to express, genotype must be homozygous recessive (such as rr for white flower).

In the given question, when a red flower (which could be Rr or RR genotype) is crossed with white flower (rr) and if it produces red flower, it will certainly have the heterozygous genotype that is Rr (as it will inherit 'R' allele from one parent and 'r' allele from another to become red flower).

Thus, a red allele (R) must be present on at least one of two homologous chromosomes.

What is One difference between a fundamental niche and a realized niche

Answers

Fundamental niche is the job/role that one species can have in the environment .
The realized niche is the role of a species influenced by several factors in the environment.
Example:
The fundamental niche of Yellow Warblers is found in a spruce tree.
The realized niche of the Yellow warblers is when they are "forced" to share the spruce tree and remain in one particular area of the tree while other warbler species play defense different niches in other parts of the tree.

:v it is like :
•Fundamental niche: [yellow warbler] "I got my home, all for me..."
~new species arrive to the spruce tree~
•Realized niche: [yellow warbler] oh, shoot! I gotta stay in the upper part/move to the upper part as the others warbler "struggle" to get territory :v or they just choose their own . :v

The law of mass action suggests that _____.

Answers

Answer: The law of mass action suggests that the rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the reactants. In this, each mass is raised to a power, which is equivalent to the coefficient of that reactant in the chemical reaction.

For example- For the chemical reaction-

aA + bB → C + D

Rate of the reaction α [A]ᵃ [b]ᵇ

Rate of the reaction = k [A]ᵃ [b]ᵇ

where, k = rate constant

a+b = order of the reaction.

the higher  concentration of molecules, the faster a reaction can occur

Which problem is most directly caused by burning waste?

Answers

Answer:

Air pollution

Explanation:

Pollution is the release of substances into an environment above a level that it becomes harmful to the organisms living in such environment. Pollution can occur both in aquatic and terrestrial environment. Pollution in the terrestrial environment can either be in the soil or in the air.

Burning of wastes leads to the release of smoke into the atmosphere. Smoke from waste burning consist of particulate matters, water vapour and varying levels of carbon doxide, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulphur, etc., depending on the content of the waste. These components have both short and accumulative long term effects on the environment. The effects include;

  • smog
  • global warming
  • ozone layer depletion
  • acid rain
  • and so on.

In an ecosystem when waste is burnt it emits out pollutants which are released in air thus causing air pollution.

Ecosystem is defined as a system which consists of all living organisms and the physical components with which the living beings interact. The abiotic and biotic components are linked to each other through nutrient cycles and flow of energy.

Energy enters the system through the process of photosynthesis .Animals play an important role in transfer of energy as they feed on each other.As a result of this transfer of matter and energy takes place through the system .Living organisms also influence the quantity of biomass present.By decomposition of dead plants and animals by microbes nutrients are released back in to the soil.When waste is burnt, it gives out pollutants in the air thus causing air pollution.

Hence, the problem which is   most directly caused by burning waste is air pollution.
