Does the color of a leaf affect the rate at which that leaf photosynthesizes

Yes and no. If you're comparing two healthy leaves of different species that have different leaf colors, then probably not. However, a yellowed or bleached leaf (unhealthy) will photosynthesize at a different rate, if at all.

sun and shade leaves also photosynthesize at different rates, and will have different colors.

What happens during interphase

the chromosomes are duplicated.

Is it true that some people have been kidnapped by aliens

This is not very likely.

What is produced by meiosis

Reproductive cells-- egg or sperm cells--or produced by meiosis.

What was the genotype of the plant that produced yellow pea F1 generation

Yy

Is color blindness a dominant or a recessive trait

Color blindness is a recessive sex linked trait.

Are smile dimples controlled by a recessive allele

Nope, the alleles for smile dimples are actually dominant, not recessive.

Why do more people have attached rather than unattached earlobes

Cause attached earlobes are the dominant trait. Unattached earlobes are reccessive.

How can a test cross reveal the genotype of a parent whose phenotype is dominant

Try using a Punnett Square.

How are tumor cells different from normal cells

Mitosis is not regulated in tumor cells. This can cause the rapid proliferation of a large number of non-functional cells, whose only actions are to divide into more cells.

Tumor cells multiply too quickly.

How do the daughter cells produced by mitosis compare to the original cell

The daughter cells are identical to the original cell.

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.

A plant can have either brown B or red b leaves Brown is the dominant trait If a plant has genotype bb which best describes the plant

Homozygous with brown leaves

A mother has one allele for color blindness and one Allele or normal vision what is the probability that her Gamete Will have the Allele for the color blindness

50%

Why did Mendel wanted to find out if the color of the seed of a pea plant affected the seed shape What experiment did he perform to test his idea

He tested seed color and shape at the same time.

APEX

Which best describes probability

the likelihood that something will happen
