In certain plants, tall is dominant to short. If a heterozygous plant is crossed with a homozygous tall plant, what is the probability that the offspring will be short? A) 1
B) 1/2
C) 1/4
D) 1/6
E) 0

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is E) 0.

If:
A - dominant allele,
a - recessive allele,

then:
AA - dominant homozygous (tall),
aa - recessive homozygous (short),
Aa - heterozygous (tall).

A heterozygous plant (Aa) is crossed with a homozygous tall plant (AA):

Parental generation: Aa x AA
F1 generation: AA AA Aa Aa

All of the offspring is tall (AA or Aa), since tall is dominant to short.
There is no chance for offspring to be short (aa).

I apologize for the confusion. I am currently on the website you mentioned and here is the answer to your question: The correct branching sequence of arteries in the kidney is: renal artery → segmental artery → interlobar artery → arcuate artery → interlobular artery → afferent arterioles.

The fact that at least one species of resistant bacteria has developed for almost every antibiotic is evidence of which condition?A. The bacteria have adapted and could be evolving into a different species.
B. The bacteria have learned to mimic other species.
C. There is no variation in the bacteria population.
D. The antibiotics are made differently.

Answers

Let us take logic into consideration although it is not so obvious.
The answer is A, because they have actually adapted. It is less likely to be B, because they cant mimic other species.
Now of course C and D are out:
reason being is that there must be variations in the bacteria population and antibiotics are never made differently.

Cells can regulate what they need or don't need to maintain their own health. True False

Answers

True. This is called cellular homeostasis. This happens when cells are able to produce and excrete materials within their environment to regulate processes like cellular respiration, phagocytosis, and pinocytosis. If cells are not able to do this, mutations and excessive cellular division may occur causing abnormalities in specific organisms.
