The effect does the chemical referred to as a mutagen has is it causes a permanent change in the genetic material (dna) and is denoted as option D.

<h3>What is DNA?</h3>

This is referred to as deoxyribonucleic acid and is the genetic material in living organisms.

Mutagen on the other hand are agents which cause mutations which means alterations in the DNA of organisms. It affects the transcription and replication of the DNA thereby leading to cell death and other effects such as diseased condition.

This is therefore the reason why option D was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

Use the Punnett square to predict the genotype for the parent organism whose genotype is unknown and
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: The genotype for the parent organism whose genotype is unknown is Ff.

Explanation: Let (F) represent the allele for purple which is dominant over (f) and (f) represent the allele for white.

The parent organism whose genotype is unknown is heterozygous for purple colour (Ff).

A cross between Ff and ff will produce four offsprings: two of which are Ff (heterozygous for purple colour) and two are ff (white).

Ff x ff = Ff, Ff, ff and ff.

Since (F) is dominant over (f), (Ff) will manifest as purple while (ff) will manifest as white. Therefore, half of the offsprings are purple while the other half are white.
