Answers:

Part A:

  • Genotypic ratio of offspring is 1:1 (50% homozygous tall and 50% heterozygous tall)
  • Phenotypic ratio of the offspring is 100% or all tall.  

Part B:

  • if two heterozygous tall plants (Tt) were crossed will produce dwarf plant in the ratio of tall plants to dwarf plants 3:1 (3 tall and 1 dwarf).

<u>Answer</u>:

Part A

Genotypic ratio---->TT:tt =  1:1 ( TT- 50% and Tt - 50%)

Phenotpyic ratio-----> Tall plants:short plants = 1:0 (Tall plants = 100%)

Part B

Offsprings with genotype Tt will produce short pea plants if they were crossed.

<u>Explanation</u> :

Part A

  • The <em>genotypic ratio</em> is the ratio of the various genotypes that appear as a result of a cross. Since in the given cross TT appears 2 times and Tt also appears 2 times, their ratio is 1:1.
  • The phenotypic ratio is the ratio of the various phenotypes (the observed traits) seen as a result of a cross. Since T is dominant over t, both TT and Tt genotypes will produce tall plants (phenotype).  So the ratio of tall: short plants will be 1:0.

Part b

For, short pea plants to be produced, it is necessary to take<em> Tt and Tt </em>offsprings because t is a <em>recessive</em> allele and can only express itself in homozygous condition. This condition is only possible on crossing Tt and Tt offsprings.

The result of this cross would be :

<em>Tt X Tt --------> TT Tt Tt tt</em>

Out of these 4 offsprings, the one with genotype tt will be a <em>short</em> plant.

Why did Gregor Mendel remove the sex parts from two different groups of plants?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Mendel was interested in the offspring of two different parent plants, so he had to prevent self-pollination. He removed the anthers from the flowers of some of the plants in his experiments. ... The offspring that result from such a cross are called hybrids.

If you have just eaten, your body secretes ______ to uptake glucose; if you have not eaten all day, your body secretes ______ to
pav-90 [236]
If you have just eaten, your body will secrete insulin. Insulin is the hormone that allows glucose to enter cells. That way they will have the proper energy for their normal functions.
If you have not eaten for a while, your body is running out of glucose to feed the cells so it needs to secrete another hormone called glucagon. This hormone is the complete opposite of insulin because it breaks down glycogen, proteins and fats into glucose.
