Answer: The correct answer would be "the plants have genetic variation for flower color".

Explanation:

Genetic variation, as the name suggests, refers to the variety or differences present at gene or DNA level among different individuals or population.

More the genetic variation more are the traits or phenotype of the characters.

Different in DNA sequences and different combination of alleles or genes lead to increase in genetic variation.

For example,different shape, size, colors, appearance, texture, et cetera.

Similarly, the different flower colors also show the presence of genetic variation in a population.

Different combination of alleles lead to expression of different flower colors such as purple and white.

In garden pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white flowers (p), and full pod shape (F) is dominant to constricted po
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The phenotypes are as follows

Purple, full- 9

Purple, constricted- 3

White, full- 3

White, constricted- 1

Genotype of parents are PpFf, each produce the following gametes: PF, Pf, pF and pf.

Explanation:

This is a dihybrid cross involving two distinct genes. One coding for flower color and the other for pod shape. The allele for purple color (P) is dominant over the allele for white color (p) while the allele for full pod (F) is dominant over the allele for constricted pod (f).

In a cross between two heterozygote parents i.e. PpFf × PpFf, each parent will produce the following gametes: PF, Pf, pF and pf. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image) the following 16 offsprings will be produced in a phenotypic ratio: 9:3:3:1

Purple color, full pod- 9

Purple color, constricted pod- 3

White flower, full pod- 3

White flower, constricted pod- 1

Define autotrophs, heterotrophs, producers, and photoautotrophs.
sergey [27]
Producers: living things that make their own food through a process called photosynthesis

Autotrophs: an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.

Heterotrophs: an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.

Photo autotrophs: organisms that carry out photosynthesis. Using energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water are converted into organic materials to be used in cellular functions such as biosynthesis and respiration.
