Two genes determining a trait In primroses, the dominant allele of gene K is necessary to synthesize blue flower pigment. Blue p

igment synthesis is inhibited by a dominant allele of gene D. In other words, plants with the genotype K- D- will not produce pigment (and their flowers will be white) because of the presence of the D allele. If you set up a testcross for (Kk Dd) plants what is the ratio of blue to white offspring in the progeny?

Answer:

The ratio of blue to white offspring in the progeny is 4 blue : 12 white.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • The dominant allele K is necessary to synthesize blue flower pigment
  • K is inhibited by the dominant allele D
  • Plants with the genotype K- D- will not produce pigment (and their flowers will be white)

Cross: testcross for (Kk Dd) plants

Parental)   KkDd     x     kkdd

Gametes) KD   kD   Kd   kd      

                kd   kd   kd   kd

Punnet square)        KD        Kd       kD       kd

                      kd     KkDd   Kkdd   kkDd   kkdd

                      kd     KkDd  Kkdd   kkDd   kkdd

                      kd     KkDd   Kkdd   kkDd   kkdd

                      kd     KkDd   Kkdd   kkDd   kkdd

  • Whenever D is present, it inhibits the expression of the K gene, so every plant with the dominant D allele will be white. This plants´ genotype is kkD- or K-D-.
  • Whenever D is absent and K is present, every plant with genotype K-dd will be blue.
  • The recessive form for K and D genes will express white-flowered plants, with genotype ddkk

F1) Progeny genotype: 4/16 KkDd, white-flowered plants

                                      4/16 Kkdd, blue-flowered plants

                                      4/16 kkDd, white-flowered plants

                                      4/16 kkdd, white-flowered plants

     The ratio of blue to white offspring in the progeny is 4 blue : 12 white.

     Blue-flowered plants: 4 Kkdd

     White-flowered plants: 4 KkDd + 4 kkDd + 4 kkdd

Which Of The Following Most Accurately describe the result of cell division without differentiation?
suter [353]
Hmm...,
      Well from what I'm getting, I feel like the cell would just be replication itself. Cell differentiation is the process by which a cell gets placed, or destined, to become a particular type of cell.
    So, if a cell was to go undergo cell division with out cell differentiation, this most likely means it is going under the DNA replication process, AK.A- splitting the mother cell to create daughter cells.

Answer: B

Explanation: Because Light and thermal are two different things of heat and if one of the cores of heat gets any cooler than it is than it may burn out and there wwill no longer be heat so the food brin come in at the middle (Core) of the heat and just like a microwave it had different heats but its core of the heat stays the excact same
