Allele for striped fruit => (g)
The cross between the two plants is shown below:
(GG) × (Gg)
Offspring => (GG), (Gg), (GG), (Gg)
Since G (allele for solid green fruit) is dominant over g (allele for striped fruit), therefore,
We all the offspring in the F1 generation would be all waterlemons of solid green fruits.
Therefore, % of offspring of this cross that will bear striped watermelon would be 0
Plants contain the carbohydrates starch and cellulose. in the spring when stem growth is at its fastest rate, cellulose production rates are
increased in some plants. In the months with less sunlight, the level of starch decreases in some plants. What does this information
demonstrate?
Answer:
The correct answer is - Two functions of carbohydrates are structural support and energy storage.
Explanation:
In plants there are normally two carbohydrates are produced are starch and cellulose that have similar molecular structures but their biological function is drastically different.
Cellulose is used as a structural unit of the plant cell wall, its production rates increase during the growth of the plant during spring. starch is a carbohydrate that stores energy reserve that builds up during a sunny time and is consumed during wintery or less sunny days.

1. A cladogram is an evolutionary tree that diagrams the ancestral relationships amongst organisms.
The similarly alongside the cladogram you move,the greater variations in DNA the organisms have compared to the common ancestor.Final answer: The correct option is B,A,C,humans.
2. DNA sequence analysis of the hemoglobin alpha gene shows that humans and chimpanzees have a more similar sequence to each other than they do to the gorilla’s DNA sequence.
Final answer: The correct option is (c).
3. These structures are known as homologies because they result from species evolving from the same common ancestor.
Explanation for correct option:
Homologous structures are structures that are similar in related organisms because they were inherited from a common ancestor.Explanation for incorrect option:
Analogies structure are body parts that have a similar function but differ in structure.Final answer: homologies; from the same common ancestor.
5. All vertebrate embryos have a tail and gill slits at some point during embryonic development.
Vertebrates are similar in origin and that they develop similarly, implying that they are related, have common ancestors.Final answer: These species share a common ancestor.
5. Fossil B was found deeper in the ground than Fossil A.
Fossil A could not be older than Fossil B as it has settled for a shorter period of time, and is higher up to the surface.If the two species existed at the same time, they could be at same heights in the soil.Final answer: Fossil B is most likely older than Fossil A.
6.This shows that the vertebrates are similar in origin and that they develop similarly, implying that they have common ancestors.
In the embryonic stages, they all possess the ventral heart, aortic arches, gills and gill slits which are exactly like those of the fish embryo. Presence of tail at some stage of development. These observations support the idea of organic evolution.This similarity of basic plan is because of shared genetic material and those genes that are still the same among organisms.Final answer: All vertebrates develop a backbone that protects the spinal cord.
7. Mutations have no effect on the organism because they are repaired before protein synthesis occurs.
Silent mutations lead to a change of one of the letters in the triplet code that represents a codon, but despite the single base change, the amino acid that is coded for remains unchanged or similar in biochemical properties.Final answer: The mutated sequence still codes for the same amino acid.
8. Embryological develoment is typically studied when analyzing not-yet-born (or unhatched) animals.
Explanation for correct answer:
Embryology is a branch of science that is related to the formation, growth, and development of embryo.Explanation for incorrect answer:
The theory of evolution is based on the idea that all species are related and changes over time.DNA sequencing refers to the technique for determining the exact sequence of nucleotides, or bases, in a DNA molecule.Final answer: Embryological development.
9. DNA molecules can scientists analyze to get a better understanding of how plants and animals evolved from a common ancestor.
Molecular similarities provide evidence for the shared ancestry of life. DNA sequence comparisons can show how different species are related.Final answer: DNA molecules.
10. Embryology is important to understanding a species' evolution, since some homologous structures can be seen only in embryo development.
Embryos of organisms that have a closer genetic relationship to one another tend to look similar for a longer period of time since they share a more recent common ancestor.Final answer: Embryos go through various stages that suggest the animal’s evolutionary process.
11. A DNA analysis can help determine is the species is related to any other organism like on earth.
After isolating the DNA from its cells, specific regions are copied with a technique known as the polymerase chain reaction, or PCR. PCR produces millions of copies for each DNA segment of interest and thus permits very minute amounts of DNA to be examined.12. Evolution is a process of gradual change that takes place over many generations.
Evolutionary biology allows us to determine not only how and why organisms have become the way they are, but also what processes are currently acting to modify or change them.It helps us to understand the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria and other parasitic organisms.13. The first alligator ancestors developed approx. 245 million years ago.
The main reason for the change in the body structure of alligator is due to change in environmental condition.DNA shows how related species are to other species.Fossils can be used to prove the existence of the evolution of alligators and to compare and contrast what they looked like in the past to what they look like now.you can learn more about evolution here:

Which two labels should be switched?
A student has labeled this diagram of Earth's layers, but two of the labels that are incorrect is asthenosphere and crust. The asthenosphere have to switch with crust in labelling pattern.
which are the three layers of the earth?Our earth is made up of several layers which are furthur divided into the three types: Crust, mental and core.Crust layer is the most uppermost layer of earth which acts like skin of the earth, it divide into the many plates which are smooth and build up pressure.
Mantle is the largest layer located under the sima composed of very dense and hot rocks. This layer under heavy weight pressure flows like asphaults. Thier movement is responsible for the plates of earth movement.
Core consist of very hot metals and all metals present in this layer is present in the form of liquid.outer core is consisted of nickel and iron in liquid from. Inner core is mostly consist of iron and it is solid in nature.
Asthenosphere is the basically the zone of the earth's mantle. it is malleable and keep the earths plate present in crust lubricated.it is present just below. it is present above the mantle and below the crust.Crust acts like the outer skin of the earth.
Crust is prior to the asthenosphere in earth layer sequence.
