Among pea plants, we see more peas with smooth pods than with constricted pods. if a plant with constricted pods is mated with a plant with smooth pods, the offspring have smooth pods. when the offspring mature, and two of them are mated, they have a 25 percent chance of producing offspring with constricted pods. identify the offspring with homozygous alleles for the smooth pod trait.

Acar company is testing seatbelts using crash test dummies. the company finds that when cars come to a sudden stop, the crash test dummies' bodies continue to move forward. the seat belt keeps the crash test dummies from hitting the back of the seat in front of them. why do the crash test dummies' bodies continue to move forward even though the car stopped? a. the friction opposing their bodies' movement keeps them in motion. b. the inertia of their bodies keeps them in motion. c. the forward acceleration of the car keeps them in motion. d. the gravity pulling on the car keeps them in motion.
