A pet store has two guinea pigs. One has white fur and one has black fur. The white guinea pig has two recessive alleles for fur

color (bb). The black guinea pig has one dominant allele (B) and one recessive allele (b) for fur color. What will most likely be the phenotypes ofcthe offspring on a cross between the two guinea pigs? Explain your answer. If you wish, you may also construct a punnett square showing the cross.

Given two guinea pigs with genotypes Bb and bb.

We use a Punnett square to show the possible phenotypes.

       B      b
b    Bb   bb
b    Bb   bb

So there are two possible phenotypes, Black fur (heterozygous) and white fur (heterozygous recessive).

Answer:

The offsprings will be black-furred and white-furred in a ratio 1:1

Explanation:

This cross involves a single gene coding for fur colour in guinea pig. According to the illustration in the question that the white-furred parent has two recessive alleles (bb) and the black-furred parent has a Bb genotype, the allele for black fur (B) is dominant over the allele for white fur (b) i.e. black fur will mask the expression of white fur in a heterozygous state.

In a cross between a bb and Bb genotype, the alleles segregate into gametes according to Mendel and four possible offsprings will be produced with two having a Bb genotype (phenotypically black-furred) and the other two having a bb genotype (phenotypically white-furred). Hence, the phenotypic ratio will be 1:1.

Answer:

Answer is option D.

Flowers contain parts for making seeds.

Explanation:

The part of the plant that is responsible for the sexual reproduction in plants is known as flowers. A flower is said to be complete if contains sepals, petals, stamens and pistil. If the flower lacks one or more structures, it is an incomplete flower.

A complete flower consists of a vegetative part and a reproductive part. The vegetative part contains petals (a bright coloured structure that attracts insects and birds) and sepals (a green coloured structure that protects rising buds and is usually found beneath the petals). The reproductive parts include stamen or androecium (male reproductive organ) and pistil (female reproductive organ). A flower may consists of only female parts or only male parts, or both.

Stamen contains two parts - anther, which produce and store the pollens (male gametes) and filament, which support the anther. Pistil contains three parts - stigma, which receives the pollen grains and style that connects stigma and the ovary, and ovary which contains a lot of ovules (female gametes) which forms the seed.  

Flowers reproduce by pollination, a process in which the pollen are transferred to the stigma of another flower. A pollen tube emerges from the pollen grain and grows through the style and reaches an ovule inside the ovary. Then the nucleus of the pollen grain passes through the pollen tube and fuses with the nucleus of the ovule and this process is known as fertilisation. The fertilised ovules become seeds and the ovary transforms into the fruit. The seeds are dispersed through various methods and the embryo inside them will grow into adult plants.
