Sunlight is the ultimate source of energy for all ecosystems. It is trapped and utilised by the photosynthetic producers (green plants, algae, some bacteria, etc) to prepare food.

Less than of the total incident solar radiation is photosynthetically active radiation (PAR).

Only 2-10 percent of the PAR is captured by the plants and this little amount of energy is enough to sustain the entire living world.

In or hybrid individuals, 5. In individuals dominant trait the dominant trait is is incompletely expressed. completely expressed. Q. Explain the Law of segregation. Ans. The law of segregation is based on the fact that the allels donot show any blending and that both the characters are recovered as such in the generation though one of these is not seen at the stage. Though the parents contain two alleles during gamate formation the factors or alleles of a pair segregate from each other such that a gamete receives only one of the two factors. Of course, a homzygous parent produces all gametes that are similar while a hetrozygous one produces two kinds of gametes each having one allele with equal proportion. Q. What are complementary genes. Ans. These genes act in a mechanism called 'duplicate recessive epistasis'. Here, two pairs of dominant alleles complement each other to produce a single effect. In other words, in terms of epistasis, presence of double recessive allele mark the expression of dominant allelic pair. Puple because two dominant alleie C and P complement each other to produce puple but in terms of epistasis two recessives in parents mask the allele for colour.
