Answer:
a) The expected phenotype of the F1 plants is 100% RrBb, red kernels.
b) The expected phenotypic classes in the F2 are: 9:3:3:1
9/16 R-B-, 3/16 rrB-, 3/16 R-bb, 1/16 rrbb
Proportions 9:6:1.
9/16 Red kernel (R-B-), 6/16 Brown kernel (rrB- + R-bb), 1/16 White kernel (rrbb)
Explanation:
<u>Available data:</u>
- brown kernel: R-bb or rrB-
1º Cross) RRBB x rrbb
F1) 100% RrBb (red kernels)
2ºCross) RrBb x RrBb
Gametes) RB RB

Punnet Square) RB Rb rB rb
RB RRBB RRBb RrBB RrBb
Rb RRBb RRbb RrBB Rrbb
rB RrBB RrBb rrBB rrBb
rb RrBb Rrbb rrBb rrbb
F2) Phenotypic classes:
<em>9/16 R-B-</em>
<em> 3/16 rrB-</em>
<em> 3/16 R-bb</em>
<em> 1/16 rrbb</em>
Phenotypic proportions:
<em>9/16 Red kernel (R-B-)</em>
<em> 6/16 Brown kernel (rrB- + R-bb)</em>
<em> 1/16 White kernel (rrbb) </em>
The answer is B-divergent boundary
Answer:
Gene flow is partially responsible for <u><em>genetic variation</em></u>.
Explanation:
In ecology, gene flow can be described as the transfer of genes from one population of a species to another population of a species. Gene flow will result in the changing of the allele frequency of a population. As a result of gene flow, there will be more genetic variation among the population. Gene flow is also termed as gene migration. The gene flow causes the gene pool of a population to change.
