The genes R, E and D are independently assorting and control production of red pigment as follows (recessive alleles are not fun

ctional) precursor -- (R) --> white -- (E) --> yellow -- (D) --> red RREEDD and rreedd individuals are crossed, and their offspring are testcrossed. What proportion of the F2 progeny is expected to be red?

Answer:

1/8

Explanation:

An individual must have all three dominant alleles to be red, in homozygosis or heterozygosis (R_E_D_).

<u>The parental cross was:</u>

RREEDD x rreedd

F1: RrEeDd

<u>The test cross</u> is between the RrEeDd indiviudals and homozygous recessive rreedd.

The genes assort independently, so we can use Mendel's law of segregation to predict separately for each gene the proportion of the offspring that will have the dominant alleles.

<h3><u>Rr x rr</u></h3>

1/2 Rr

1/2 rr

<h3><u>Ee x ee</u></h3>

1/2 Ee

1/2 ee

<h3><u>Dd x dd</u></h3>

1/2 Dd

1/2 dd

Genes are independent, so the probability of having a R_E_D_ offpsring is calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities of having a dominant allele for each gene:

1/2 (Rr) × 1/2 (Ee) × 1/2 (Dd)= 1/8

List the three scientific principles of sustainability and give an example of each
uysha [10]
The three scientific principles of sustainability are: (1) dependence on solar energy, (2) Biodiversity, and (3) chemical cycling.

dependence on solar energy - the energy imparted to the earth system by the sun. The sun warms the planet and provides energy that plants use to produce nutrients. The sun also powers indirect forms of solar energy such as wind and flowing water.

100 points and Brainliest!!! Plus, an opportunity for an extra 100 points if correct.
rewona [7]

Answer:

Natural selection leads to evolution due to the way reproduction works. In the example of European moths during the industrial revolution, we can see this clearly. When the industrial revolution was going, there was more pollution, hence darkening the skies and leaving ash. Moths, which before were white with occasional black spots dominated the area until pollution effected their environment. Whiter moths were eaten by bird who could easily see them against the black trees and skies. These moths could no longer reproduce, they were dead. Moths with more black could survive longer to reproduce because they were harder to see. As time went along, the moths turned mostly black, showing an example of evolution.
