You have a pea plant with a yellow pea phenotype but do not know if the genotype is homozygous (YY) or heterozygous (Yy). What t

ype of cross would you do determine the genotype of this plant and what would be the predicted phenotypes of the offspring?

A test cross must be performed to ascertain this plant's genotype. Yellow and green peas are the anticipated phenotypes of the progeny.

<h2>What is a test -cross?</h2>

To ascertain whether a progeny is homozygous or heterozygous for a given trait, an F1 progeny is crossed with a double (homozygous) recessive parental progeny (green pea). This is referred to as a test cross.

All of the hybrid's offspring will exhibit the dominant (yellow) phenotype if the mother is homozygous (YY) dominant.

Mother  yellow pea (YY)  x   green pea (yy)   - P generation

                            Y                            y             - Gamete

                          Yy (yellow) , Yy (yellow)         -F1 generation

If the mother is heterozygous dominant(Yy), then half of the offspring will exhibit the dominant phenotype and the other half will exhibit the recessive phenotype and the ratio should be 1:1.

Mother yellow pea (Yy)   x    green pea (yy)   -P generation

                           Y, y                            y            - Gamete

                           Yy (yellow) , yy (green)           -F1 generation

Therefore, it is concluded from the above explanation that we have to perform a test-cross to know the genotype of the pea plant.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The product of glycolysis is two molecules of pyruvate. It is a three-carbon compound. This pyruvate again undergoes oxidation in the cytoplasm. This process is called pyruvate oxidation which produces Acetyl CoA. The Acetyl CoA is a two-carbon molecule.

Acetyl CoA again used for the citric acid cycle. This is also called as Kreb's cycle / TCA cycle. Because citric acid has 3 carboxylic groups. The acetyl coenzyme produces NADH, FADH2, ATP. The citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial membrane. This is an 8 step process. The first product is citric acid. The other products of each step are isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinyl CoA, succinate, Fumarate, L - malate, and Oxaloacetate (OAA).

Another process of aerobic respiration is the electron transport chain ( ETS). Here the energy stored in NADH, FADH2 in the citric acid cycle are utilized. It is a chain of electron carriers. ETS occurs in the inner membrane of mitochondria.  

In short, the glucose splits by glycolysis and produces ATP, NADPH, and final product pyruvate. The pyruvate is oxidized and forms acetyle coenzyme. This is used in the TCA / citric acid cycle. In this process also NADH, FADH2 which forms electrons are produced. Theses electrons are carried by different electron carriers and accepted by oxygen.

In the process of pyruvate oxidation 6 ATP, and in Kreb's cycle 18 ATPs, in ETS, 4 ATPs are produced. In addition to this in glycolysis produces 4 ATPs. The total number of ATP in aerobic respiration is 32 ATP.

Which cannot take place during a chemical reaction?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Formation of new atoms

Explanation:

Matter cannot be created nor destroyed, but can be turned into different forms (energy). When this happens, it is referred to as a nuclear reaction.

Chemical reactions only involve the electrons surrounding an atom and the atoms around it.

what process involving cell division results in daughter cells that are not identical to the parent cell?
andre [41]

Answer:

meiosis

Explanation:

Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
