A retina has to be smooth and not wrinkled so the image that is formed by the lens is in focus at all points. If it were wrinkled, some areas of the image would be out of focus; it is smooth to best reflect the light.

If smooth peas are dominant over wrinkled peas the allele for smooth peas should be represented as?

The allele for smooth peas should be represented as "S" while the allele for wrinkled peas should be represented as "s", following the convention of using uppercase letters to represent dominant alleles and lowercase letters for recessive alleles.


What is wrinkled retina?

a wrinkled retina is another lay term for Macular Pucker. A thin layer of scar tissue in response to healing the area of irritation. Most likely occurring with normal aging. Rare significant visual damage occurring. Normal traction or pulling of the retina resulting in microscopic damage to its inner surface. All the terms used to describe the fact that there is a layer of thin scar tissue on the surface of the macula which resulting in mechanical wrinklingand distortion of the retina. In most cases no treatment is recommended for macular pucker. Repair of the macular pucker or epiretinal membrane is accomplished through use of vitreoretinal surgery.

What is shriveled?

Shriveled means to become wrinkled or contracted, usually due to dehydration or lack of moisture. It often describes something that has lost its smooth and plump appearance.


What is an indication that water is entering cells?

The cell will be swollen. Number of Na and K ions will be different


In Mendel's experiment why did wrinkled seeds show up in the F2 generation even though they were not present in the F1 generation?

Wrinkled seeds are recessive The F1generation carried recessive alleles.

Dominant wrinkled pea recessive smooth pea?

Wrinkled peas are recessive, smooth peas are dominant.


If smooth peas are dominant over wrinkled peas?

If smooth peas are dominant over wrinkled peas, it means that when a plant with one smooth pea allele and one wrinkled pea allele reproduces, all of its offspring will have smooth peas. This is because the dominant allele (smooth) masks the expression of the recessive allele (wrinkled) in the offspring's phenotype.


Texture of a walking stick?

they have a smooth texture, almost of wrinkled skin or smooth bark


If you cross a purebred smooth pea with a purebred wrinkled pea what percentage of the first generation will be smooth peas?

All the first-generation offspring will be smooth peas, as the smooth trait is dominant over the wrinkled trait in peas. This is known as a monohybrid cross involving one gene with two alleles.


What 2 forms of traits for seed shape did Mendel observe?

Round (smooth) and wrinkled


What is genotype of a plant which is heterozygous with wrinkled seed has a red flower If red is dominant and wrinkled is recessive?

if "R"= red and I assume non dominat color is white then "r"-white if "S"= smooth seed and "s"- wrinkled Your plant would be "Rrss" = Red flowers, but produces wrinkled seeds

Why does the retina need to be smooth when dissecting a sheeps eye?

A smooth retina ensures that light rays can properly reach the photoreceptor cells in the back of the eye, allowing for clear vision. Dissecting a sheep's eye with a smooth retina facilitates the study of the eye's structure and function without introducing unnecessary distortions or disruptions that could affect the examination process.


What was mendel interested in and how is his work popular today?

dominant and recessive genes. to research this, he used peas and investigated the genes which determined whether a pea would be wrinkled or smooth. he was actually a mathematician and he spend ages cross breading wrinkley with straight and counting out the two different types of pea. he counted 1000 peas. approximately 250 were wrinkled and 750 were smooth, leading him to the theory that the gene for smooth pease was dominant eg. wrinkled = w smooth = W W + w = smooth W + W = smooth w + W = smooth w + w = wrinkled the 3:1 ratio hope this helps ;)


What does it mean when the surface of the brain where it is usually very wrinkled is smooth instead according to an MRI?

Perform the following cross wwgg x WwGg What percent of the offspring will be wrinkled green?

If you cross wwgg x WwGg, each parent contributes one allele for the traits. The genotype for wrinkled (w) and green (g) seeds is wwgg, and the genotype for WwGg is heterozygous for smooth and yellow. Therefore, 0% of the offspring will be wrinkled green.
