Amutant version of mouse-ear cress (arabidopsis thaliana) has been engineered to convert it from a long-day plant to a short-day plant. what is responsible for triggering the development of flowers in this plant?

day length decreases back to a critical length, causing an appropriate decrease in pr : pfr ratio and increased expression of genes required for flowering.

option c.

Explanation:

Long Day Plants- The plants which flower when the day length is longer than the critical day length(Plants physiological events such as seed germination, initiation of flowering, asexual reproduction are triggered by a photo-period of specific length, this specific period length is critical day length). Examples- Spinach, wheat and spring barley.

Short Day Plants- The plants which flower when the day length is less than the critical day length. Examples- Soybean and tobacco.

So, In short day plants a flash of red light (Pr) during dark period prevents flowering, and the effect is reversed by the flash of far-red light (Pfr). In case of long day plants a flash of red light (Pr) during night break promotes flowering and a flash of far-red light (Pfr) during dark period prevents flowering.

hence option c.

there are 35 white marbles

step-by-step explanation:

y- yellow marbles

4y + 5 = 45

subtract 5 from both sides

4y = 40

divide for from both sides

y = 10

plug in 10 to get 40 yellow marbles then subtract by 5 to get 35 marbles

thus there are only 10 yellow marbles

not sure if this is what you'r looking for eubacteria and archaebacteria
