A pea plant has a tall stem. What are it's possible genotypes

1 answer:

5 0

Assuming the tall/short gene in a pea plant follows classic patterns of Mendelian inheritance, the answers would be Tt or TT.

For a pea plant to be short, it needs to inherit two recessive alleles (or alternate forms of a gene). Recessive simply means it won't be expressed if paired with a dominant allele, expressed by a capital letter.

This means, for a pea plant to be tall, it can have inherited two dominant alleles, because tall (T) is dominant over short (t). Because it is also dominant, it can be paired with a recessive allele and will still be expressed. (Tt).

Hope this helps!

The answer is pili. the specific type of pili that can exchange genetic information is conjugative pili. when bacteria exchange geetc information, this process is called bacterial conjugation. conjugative pili can also be named as sex pili because they also allow exchange of genes

What are the 2 elements involved in the sun's production of energy?

tatuchka [14]

There is only one main element involved in the fusion reactions inside the sun; Hydrogen, but if you need a second element then it is more than likely that the question is asking for the isotope of hydrogen that is called <span>deuterium.

So basically, Hydrogen and Deuterium; an isotope of hydrogen</span>

Describe how Leeuwenhoek's discovery of life in a drop of water led to the future scientist to the germ theory of disease?

Alecsey [184]

Answer: germ theory

Explanation: Germ theory of disease is a theory in biology. It says that small organisms (called germs), also known as microbes, cause diseases. Most, but not all diseases are infectious diseases. The germ theory states that small organisms cause a reaction in the body of those who are infected. The body's reaction to infection is called a disease.
