In garden pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white flowers (p), and full pod shape (F) is dominant to constricted po
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The phenotypes are as follows

Purple, full- 9

Purple, constricted- 3

White, full- 3

White, constricted- 1

Genotype of parents are PpFf, each produce the following gametes: PF, Pf, pF and pf.

Explanation:

This is a dihybrid cross involving two distinct genes. One coding for flower color and the other for pod shape. The allele for purple color (P) is dominant over the allele for white color (p) while the allele for full pod (F) is dominant over the allele for constricted pod (f).

In a cross between two heterozygote parents i.e. PpFf × PpFf, each parent will produce the following gametes: PF, Pf, pF and pf. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image) the following 16 offsprings will be produced in a phenotypic ratio: 9:3:3:1

Purple color, full pod- 9

Purple color, constricted pod- 3

White flower, full pod- 3

White flower, constricted pod- 1

c. Acclimatization

Explanation:

<u>Acclimatization</u> : Various physiological readjustments and compensatory mechanisms in body that reduces the effects of hypoxia in permanent residents at high altitude. These are basically the respiratory and hematopoetic adjustments to long-term move to high altitude.

As the Chum Salmon (oncorhynchus keta) are born in freshwater water constantly diffuses into the body and ions are lost from the body while in the sea water, they lose water.

As alot of changes are occrun in the cells of the gills of chum salmon, that is acclimatization as various physiological readjustments are being made.
