Which of the following biomes is correctly paired with the description of its climate?
- A. savanna–low temperature, precipitation uniform during the year
- B. tundra–long summers, mild winters
- C. temperate broad leaf forest–relatively short growing season, mild winters
- D. tropical forests–nearly constant day length and temperature

Introduction:
A community of animals and plants with common characteristics for their environment is called a biome. It includes the likes of tropical forests, savannas, tundra and so on.
Answer to Problem 1TYU
Correct answer:
The tropical forests are near the equator, so their temperature is constantly warm and the day lengths are constant too. Therefore, option (D) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
The region near the equator is always warm and the day length constant throughout the year as the sun moves almost perpendicular to the horizon all along the year.
Option (D) is given as “tropical forests-nearly constant day length and temperature”.
“Tropical forests-nearly constant day length and temperature is the biome which is correctly paired with the description of its climate”, it is the right answer.
Hence, option (D) is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (A) is given as “savanna-low temperature, precipitation uniform during the year”.
Savannas are a mix of woodland and grassland ecosystems. They don’t have low temperatures and neither do they have uniform rain during the year. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option (B) is given as “tundra-long summers, mild winters”.
Tundra regions are very cold throughout the year and don’t have long summers. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option (C) is given as “temperate broadleaf forest-relatively short growing season, mild winters”.
Temperate broadleaf forests have cold winters. So, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (A), (B) and (C) are incorrect.
Tropical forests have constant temperature and day length throughout the year as they are near the equator.

- Using Punnett Squares Punnett squares are one good way to predict the outcome of genetic crosses. Punnett squares use mathematical probability to help predict the genotype and phenotype combinations in genetic crosses. The number of possible alleles from each parent determines the number of rows and columns in the Punnett square. Independent Assortment KEY QUESTION How do alleles segregate when more than one gene is involved? Mendel wondered if the segregation of one pair of alleles affects another pair. For example, does the gene that determines the shape of a seed affect the gene for seed color? This type of experiment is known as a two-factor, or dihybrid, cross because it involves two different genes. Single-gene crosses are monohybrid crosses.

- Alleles at the P locus control seed color. Plants which are pp have white seeds, white flowers and no pigment in vegetative parts. Plants which are P_ have black seeds, purple flowers and may have varying degrees of pigment on stems and leaves. Seed color can be assessed, visually, based on if the seed is white or not white A gene for mold resistance has been reported and we want to determine its inheritance and whether it is linked to P. For the purposes of this exercise, we will assume that resistance is controlled by a single locus M, and M_ plants are resistant and mm plants are susceptible. Resistance can be measured, under greenhouse conditions, 2 weeks after planting, by injecting each seedling with a spore suspension. After two weeks, the seedlings can be rated as resistant or susceptible, based on whether or not tissue is actively sporulating. For this exercise we will use seed and data from the F10 generation of a recombinant inbred population produced using single seed…arrow_forwardLinkage in common bean Alleles at the P locus control seed color.
