Question:
I failed to find the options, but I will post the way by which you can construct Punnett squares.
Answer and Explanation:
First, you need to know both parental individuals´ genotypes. From these genotypes, you will get all the possible gametes for each parent, following the principle of simple segregation.
Then, by using a simple square, you will make the crosses. This is:
- You will locate all the possible gametes of one parent on the top of the square
- You will place all the possible gametes of the other parent on the left edge of the square.
- Once you have done that, you will perform the crosses. You will look for the intersection between each parent´s gametes and place all the involved alleles in the intersection-box. These are the possible genotypes, and they will be written within the square.
In the attached files, you will find an example of the cross between two pure-breeding plants.
This is an example of non-disjunction of sex chromosomes, The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". The other choices in the question are incorrect and can be neglected. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.
Answer:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Explanation:
Polyploidy (more than two complete sets of chromosomes) is not rare among plants. For example, pollen grains may reach female flowers via animals or wind. In some cases, pollen grains from species with 4 complete sets of chromosomes will have 2 sets of chromosomes. Pollen grains may fuse with a female reproductive organ with 1 set of chromosome (so, female plant must have 2 sets of chromosomes). The resulting zygote will have 2 + 1 sets of chromosomes, so the plant will have 3 complete sets of chromosomes.
