Consider a cross to investigate the pea pod texture trait, involving constricted or inflated pods. Mendel found that the traits

behave according to a dominant/ recessive pattern in which inflated pods were dominant. If you performed this cross and obtained 650 inflated-pod plants in the F2 generation, approximately how many constricted-pod plants would you expect to have?
A. 600
B.165
C. 217
D. 468

Answer:

C. 217

Explanation:

Mendel obtained the phenotypic ratio of 3 dominant: 1 recessive in the F2 generation of a monohybrid cross. According to the given information, inflated pods are dominant over the constricted one.

Let's assume that the allele C is responsible for inflated pods while the recessive allele "c" gives constricted pods. A cross between two pure breeding plants with inflated (CC) and constricted pods (cc) would give all the plants with inflated pods (Cc) in the F1 generation. A cross between two F1 plants would obtain F2 generation in following ratio=3 Inflated: 1 constricted.

Therefore, if 650 plants with inflated pods were obtained in the F2 generation, 217 plants must have constricted pods since 650:217 is almost equal to 3:1.

How are cancer cells different from noncancerous cells?
UNO [17]

Answer:

B

Which of the following is needed for cellular respiration to occur? (4 points)
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Oxygen

Explanation:

The formula for cellular respiration is oxygen + glucose -> water, carbon dioxide, energy. You can already cross out A and D because they aren't in the formula, so you have two left, water and oxygen. The reason why it is oxygen and not water is because without oxygen you can't even have water. also, I just got this right on my test :-)
