Answer:
The correct answer would be:
- Genotype ratio: 1 (PP) : 2 (Pp) : 1 (pp)
- Phenotypic ratio: 3 (polka-dot tails) : solid colored tail
The genotype of both parents is Pp (heterozygous).
Thus, both the parent would produce two types of gametes which are P and p.
The cross would result in the production of offspring with three types of genotype PP, Pp, and pp in 1:2:1.
Offspring with PP and Pp will have a polka-dotted tail as it is the dominant trait.
Thus, the phenotype ratio would be 3 (polka-dotted tail) : 1 (solid colored tail).
Vein because they have valves to prevent back flow of blood.
No mitosis nor cellular respiration is not the same thing
You see mitosis is the division of cells and cellular respiration is using a more usable energy
So they are not the same
Alleles are letters that represent dominant and recessive traits.
A capital letter represents a dominant trait
A lowercase letter represents a recessive trait.
Dominant traits over shadow the recessive ones. This is known as complete dominance.
Referring to your questions let's us the alleles HH, Hh, and hh for the height of the pea plants.
But what do those letters mean?
HH = homozygous dominant (Tall)
Homo means same.
hh = homozygous recessive (Short)
Now this is different: here's Hh.
There's a capital AND lowercase letter.
This means that the plant carries the gene for tall and short plants, and can pass on either trait to the offspring.
BUT the dominant always over shadows the recessive. So Hh is a tall plant.
Hh = heterozygous (hybrid) (Tall)
You can interpret hetero meaning different.
Now I hope you're with me!
For question two it asks if a short plant can ever be a hybrid.
Referring to what I just said, that answer would be no.
Because there is no dominant trait to over shadow the recessive.
And short plants have the hh alleles, and they are homozygous NOT heterozygous (hybrid).
I hope this helps, and makes sense! If you have any questions please let me know. Genetics can be confusing.
