In guinea pigs, white coat (w) is recessive to black coat (W) and wavy hair (v) is recessive to straight hair (V). A breeder crosses a guinea pig that is homozygous for white coat and wavy hair with a guinea pig that is black with straight hair. The F1 are then crossed with guinea pigs having white coats and wavy hair in a series of testcrosses. The following progeny are produced from these testcrosses:

black, straight  -   220             black, wavy  -30

white, straight  -30                   white, wavy- 220

If the genes are not assorting independently, what is the distance between coat color and hair shape governing gene

If a tiny gas bubble forms in a column of water under tension, the gas bubble may expand indefinitely, with the result that the tension in the liquid phase collapses, it can have a devastating effect on water transport through the xylem a phenomenon known as

The term Ys , called the solute potential or the osmotic potential, represents the effect of dissolved solutes on water potential,

a) The mixing of solutes and water reduces the disorder of the system and thereby lowers free energy

b) Solutes reduce the free energy of water by diluting the water

c) The mixing of solutes and water increases the disorder of the system and thereby lowers free energy

d) Solutes increases the free energy of water by diluting the water
