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.

How are mitosis and meiosis similar

they both produce new cells(apex)

they both have prophase and metaphase (anaphase)

They both involve duplicating chromosomes.

they both have simular steps.

Why did Mendel use pea plants in his experiments

They Self-fertilize. -Apex

What happens during interphase

the chromosomes are duplicated.

What is the purpose of transcription

Transcription is the process in which part of the nucleotide sequence of DNA is copied into a complementary sequence RNA. Transcription is helps to preserve the spoken way that allows it to be easily stored and examined in the future. Transcription allows a piece to be referenced in the future.

What is produced by meiosis

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

Why did mendel use pea plants in his experiment

They produce many offspring

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.

An organism that reproduces sexually has a diploid number of 40 How many chromosomes will a gamete of this organism have

20

What happens directly after prophase

Metaphase

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

When and why does DNA need to be replicated

DNA is replicated during the S phase of the cell cycle. If DNA is not replicated then the new cell will not have a copy of the DNA. If it does not have a copy of the DNA, then the cell will not be able to function properly.

Which best describes how common cold spread in the human body

Iceberg concept of viral infection best describes how common cold spreads in the human body.
