Colored aleurone in the kernels of corn is due to the dominant allele R. The recessive allele r, when homozygous, produces color

less aleurone. The plant color (not the kernel color) is controlled by another gene with two alleles, Y and y. The dominant Y allele results in green color, whereas the homozygous presence of the recessive yallele causes the plant to appear yellow. In a testcross between a plant of unknown genotype and phenotype and a plant that is homozygous recessive for both traits, the following progeny were obtained:Colored, green 88Colored, yellow 12Colorless, green 8Colorless, yellow 92Based on the data, what can you say about the genotype of the unknown plant?A. It was heterozygous for one gene, and homozygous for the other.B. It was homozygous for both genes.C. It was heterozygous for both genes.

Answer: C. It was heterozygous for both genes.

Explanation: To produce a generation that has individuals with trait for colored aleurone in the kernels, the plant being analised has to have a dominant allele R. In the same way, to have offspring with the recessive trait, it has to carry the recessive allele r. So, the unknown plant has to be heterozygous for colored aleurone in the kernels, Rr.

The same thought can be applied to plant color: Since there are green and yellow plants, the unknown plant has to be heterozygous for that trait, Yy.

In conclusion, the unknown plant is heterozygous for both genes.

Explain how photosynthesis provides energy for consumers.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Through photosynthesis, certain organisms convert solar energy (sunlight) into chemical energy, which is then used to build carbohydrate molecules. The energy used to hold these molecules together is released when an organism breaks down food. Cells then use this energy to perform work, such as cellular respiration.

Multiple Allele So far we have studied traits or genes that are coded for by just two alleles. Like in rabbits, there was one al
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is BB genotype and BO genotype.

Explanation:

The human blood system or ABO system shows codominance due to the multiple alleles. That means three different alleles for human blood type are present are IA, IB, and i. For easy understanding can be stated as A (for IA), B (for IB), and O (for i).

If someone has blood type B could have a genotype of either BB or BO because of the dominance of B allele on O where is If A allele present with B allele it would show co-dominance.

Thus, the correct answer is the BB genotype and BO genotype.

Naddik [55]
An open fracture is most accurately defined as a fracture in which the overlying skin is no longer intact. A fracture is normally the break in the continuity of the bone. It is also called a compound fracture, in which  the fracture is an open wound or break in the skin near the site of the broken bone. Immediate treatment for an open fracture focuses on preventing infection at the site of the injury.
