IF THE CROSS OF A RED-FLOWERED PLANT WITH A WHITE FLOWERED PLANT PRODUCES A PINK FLOWERED PLANT, THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF
A. codominance B. incomplete dominance ✓ C. mutation D. linkage The answer to the question is: B. incomplete dominance When a cross between a red-flowered plant and a white-flowered plant produces a pink-flowered plant, this is an example of incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance occurs…
TRANSPORT OF WATER AND MINERAL SALTS INTO THE LEAVES OF A FLOWERING PLANT
Water and mineral salts are transported into the leaves of a flowering plant through a process called transpiration. Transpiration is the loss of water vapor from the plant’s aerial parts, primarily through the stomata on the leaves. This process relies…
A DEEP DIVE INTO PLANT TRANSFORMATION
Plant transformation refers to the genetic modification of plants by introducing foreign genes into their genome. This technique allows for the creation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) with desired traits such as increased yield, resistance to pests or diseases, and…
NAVIGATING SOMACLONAL VARIATION IN PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY
Somaclonal variation refers to the genetic variability that arises in plants regenerated from tissue culture. This phenomenon has been observed in a wide range of plant species and has significant implications for plant breeding, genetic studies, and crop improvement. Causes…
Ti PLASMIDS AS VECTORS FOR PLANT CELLS
Ti plasmids, also known as tumor-inducing plasmids, are a group of circular DNA molecules found in Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a soil bacterium. These plasmids have been extensively studied and utilized as vectors for introducing foreign DNA into plant cells. The ability…
PLANT NUTRITION
Photosynthesisis the process by which carbohydrates or sugars are manufactured in the green parts of the plants containing chlorophyll by combination of carbon (IV) oxide and water with the aid of radiant energy of sunlight while oxygen is given out…
CALCULATION OF AREA OF FARM LAND AND PLANT POPULATION
The shape and size of any farmland can be measured or determined by farm surveying. The area of farmland varies; some are rectangular, square, triangular or even circular in shape. The formula used in the calculation of farmlands and plant…
