D) plants absorb water and use the water for photosynthesis
Answer:
The phenotypes are as follows
Purple, full- 9
Purple, constricted- 3
White, full- 3
White, constricted- 1
Genotype of parents are PpFf, each produce the following gametes: PF, Pf, pF and pf.
Explanation:
This is a dihybrid cross involving two distinct genes. One coding for flower color and the other for pod shape. The allele for purple color (P) is dominant over the allele for white color (p) while the allele for full pod (F) is dominant over the allele for constricted pod (f).
In a cross between two heterozygote parents i.e. PpFf × PpFf, each parent will produce the following gametes: PF, Pf, pF and pf. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image) the following 16 offsprings will be produced in a phenotypic ratio: 9:3:3:1
Purple color, full pod- 9
Purple color, constricted pod- 3
White flower, full pod- 3
White flower, constricted pod- 1
Essentially traits of both genes will be shown. Take heterochromia for example, where a person has a green eye and a blue eye, both have some part in developing a trait.
Answer: False
Explanation:
Conventionally pasteurized milk is not sterile it gets sterile after it is homogenized. The process of pasteurization involves sudden heating and sudden cowling of milk which does not kills all the microorganism but is intended to kill some of the bacteria and inactivates some enzyme.
Homogenization is a completely separate process which involve mechanical breakdown of fat molecules in the milk which increases the shelf life of milk by preventing the cream from rising at the top.
Hence, the given statement is False.
