Answer:
Tongue-rolling is dominant, and both parents were heterozygous
Explanation:
Tongue rolling is a type of variation in human beings. When allelic genes are not identical as in Tt, the condition is referred to as heterozygous. An individual with such a genotypic condition is referred to as a heterozygote.
Both parents had a genotype of Tt and they could roll their tongues because T is dominant over the t gene.
T t
T TT Tt
t Tt tt
TT : Tt : tt
1 : 2 : 1
In a heterozygous parent Tt, the chance of producing T gamete from both parents is each 1/2 each. Similarly the chance of forming t gamete is 1/2. Therefore, the chance of gamete T and t fusing to get genotype Tt is 1/2*1/2=1/4.
The ratios of phenotypes are 3/4 will be able to roll the tongue and 1/4 will not be able to roll the tongue.
The mode of inheritance was monohybrid inheritance since one characteristic like tongue-rolling is controlled by a single pair of hereditary factors contributed by both parents.
Answer:
Biology is a branch of science that deals with living organisms and their vital processes. Biology encompasses diverse fields, including botany, conservation, ecology, evolution, genetics, marine biology, medicine, microbiology, molecular biology, physiology, and zoology.
To perform photosynthesis, plants need three things: carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
