Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

A dormant seed is one that is unable to germinate in a specified period of time under a combination of environmental factors that are normally suitable for the germination of the non - dormant seed. Dormancy is a mechanism to prevent germination during unsuitable ecological conditions, when the probability of seedling survival is low. Legume seeds exhibit dormancy because of the presence of a hard seed coat which is tough to break.

True or false? Both males and females are equally likely to have a recessive allele on one X chromosome. However, if a female has a recessive allele, there's a good chance that the other X chromosome will have a dominant allele, nullifying the effect of the recessive allele on the first X chromosome. But, a male does not have another X chromosome. So, if he has the recessive allele on his one X chromosome, he will have the trait.
  1. True
  2. False
