Millions of sperm are needed because most of them don't make it up there to the egg. So i'm thinking maybe more sperm means the higher chance of the egg being fertilized.<span />
Answer:
The correct answer is - 2 genes.
Explanation:
The number of genes involved in the coloration of the strain of cereal grain, could be either dark tan, medium-dark tan, medium tan, light tan, or cream-colored if all F1 are medium tan when crossed a dark tan crossed with cream-colored, can be calculated as follow:
suppose there are only two gene - TT dominant over tt and CC dominant over cc
then the cross would be - RRCC - rrcc
gametes - RC and rc
Cross F1: RrCc
Self cross in F2:
offspring by Punnet cross are:
RRCC -->1/16
RRCc, RrCC .---> 4/16
RrCc, RRcc, rrCC--->6/16
rrCc, Rrcc--->4/16
rrcc ----> 1/16
thus, the correct answer is 2 genes
