Sunflowers grow on a large stalk, and often only produce one flower. paddy plants produce many small flowers, with heavy pollen.
Answer:
a. Determine the allele frequencies of:
f(T) = 0.485 ≅ 0.48
f(t) = 0.515 ≅ 0.52
b. Determine the genotype frequencies of the exposed generation
- F (TT) = 0.21
- F (Tt) = 0.55
- F (tt) = 0.24
the genotype frequencies of the next generation
- F(TT) = 0.23
- F(Tt) = 0.5
- F(tt) = 0.27
Explanation:
Due to technical problems, you will find the complete answer and explanation in the attached files
Those mutated genes are most commonly recessive. Females have two X chromosomes so they can have a chromosome with the mutated gene and one with the healthy gene. The healthy gene is dominant so the disease won't manifest, and the woman is only a carrier. Males have only one X chromosome and an Y chromosome. If they have the mutated gene on the X chromosome they won't have another X chromosome with the healthy gene.
To summarize, men can't be carriers and they only need one copy of the mutated X-linked gene while women need two copies of the mutated gene.
