Incomplete dominance is an exception to Mendelian principles of genetics. The pink flowers of a petunia plant result from incomplete dominance and this has been experimentally determined.

The crossing between petunia plants shows an exception to Mendel’s principles. As a result of crossing the first generation homozygous petunia plants, some alleles of the first cross generation of the petunia flowers were in between the two dominant alleles which meant they were neither dominant nor recessive to the characteristics.

The F1 generation produced by a crossing the red-flowered (RR) plants and the white-flowered (WW) petunia plants consisted of pink-coloured flowers (RW) as the first progeny. Neither of the allele was dominant here. The cases where one allele does not completely dominate another are known as incomplete dominance. The heterozygous phenotype is supposed to occur between the two homozygous phenotypes in incomplete dominance. Phenotype refers to the colour here and genotype is a representation of alleles.

The representation of the genotypes is as follows:

White coloured dominant parent petunia plant: WW

Red coloured dominant parent petunia plant: RR

The colours white and red are the phenotypes and WW or RR is the genotype of parental alleles.

When the red and white flowered petunia plants were true breaded which means the red and white flowered petunia plants had red and white colour as their dominant characteristic and they were homozygous.

The result that was seen of this true breeding was heterozygous pink flowered petunia plants in the F1 generation. The pink colour phenotype of the flowers was an intermediate between the two dominant red and white coloured petunia flowers. This meant that the allele for the red flowers were incompletely dominant over the white flowers giving rise to pink flowers.

The genotype of the pink coloured petunia flowers as well as the corresponding phenotype can be represented by the Punnet squares.

Link the digestive and the breathing system to respiration and how the products of aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration
UNO [17]
When food is digested, the food is broken down into Glucose, which can get into the bloodstream through the small intestines. It travels around the body in the bloods plasma and is then diffused into the body's cells through the capillaries. Once the Glucose is in the body cells, it can be used for respiration.
The breathing system is used in respiration because we need it to respire aerobically, so that our body gets all the vital oxygen it needs. When we breathe, oxygen is stored in the alveoli in the lungs. From there, it can be diffused into the bloodstream, to be used for respiration.

The products of aerobic respiration is Carbon Dioxide and Water. The Water leaves the body as sweat or waste such as urine. The Carbon Dioxide is carried through the blood to our lungs where we can breathe it out. Where as in anaerobic respiration, the product is Lactic Acid. This ends up being broken by oxygen after exercise (oxygen debt) and is also turned into Carbon Dioxide and Water.

djverab [1.8K]

The frequency of the recessive allele for the left handle will be in this case equal to q^2 = 0.25 >> q = 0.5.

<h3>What is the Hardy Weinberg principle?</h3>

The Hardy Weinberg principle is a model used in population genetics to estimate genotypic and allele frequencies.

The Hardy Weinberg principle states that the sum of the dominant allele and the recessive allele in a population is equal to 1 (p + q = 1).

This principle also states p2 + q2 + 2pq = 1, where p^2 is the dominant homo-zygous allele, 2pq the heterozygous frequency and  q^2 the recessive homo-zygous frequency.

In this case, 9 individuals represent 25% (q^2 = 0.25), thereby the feecuency of q is equal to √0.25 = 0.5.
