Answer:
The parent's genotypes are:
Ddpp - tall, white parent
ddPp - dwarf, purple parent.
Explanation:
This question involves two different genes coding for height and flower color in pea plants. The alleles for tallness (D) and purple color (P) are dominant over the alleles for dwarfness (d) and white color (p) respectively.
According to this question, a tall plant with white flowers is crossed with a dwarf plant with purple flowers to produce the following proportion of offsprings: 1/4 tall purple, 1/4 tall white, 1/4 dwarf purple, and 1/4 dwarf white.
Since some of the offsprings contain recessive alleles for both or either genes, the dominant traits of the parent is controlled by an heterozygous genotype. This means that the tall plant with white flowers has a genotype: Ddpp while the dwarf plant with purple flowers has the genotype: ddPp. In a cross between Ddpp × ddPp, 1/4 of each combination of alleles is produced in the offsprings (see punnet square in the attachment).
I have provided the options below:
a. 150
b. 225
c. 300
d. 450
e. 75
Answer:
150
Explanation:
Hardy-Weinberg law states, the allelic frequencies of a gene that is, q and p follow the relationship p^2+q^2+2pq = 1, if the population is in equilibrium.
Therefore p^2+q^2+2pq = 1, can be used to calculate the percentage of the allelic frequencies i.e. p^2 and q^2
Allelic frequency = 0.75.
Therefore, the percentage of the allele in the population would be given by
0.75^2 = 0.5625 = 56%.
And the total number of individuals with this allele in the population:
number of individuals = 56×300÷100
= 168 or
150 nearest figure.
Answer:
XX
Explanation:
A women's phenotype will always stay the same as XX.
Answer:
I would say B
Explanation:
Because atural selection is the mechanism for how evolution occurs over time. Basically, natural selection says that individuals within a population of a species that have favorable adaptations for their environment will live long enough to reproduce and pass down those desirable traits to their offspring.
