Answer:

This flower called scientifically <em>Amorphophallus titanum</em> has disadvantages in survival because it only flowers approximately every 10 years, a situation that limits its sexual reproduction. However, its particular smell attracts several pollinators that help its dispersion. This plant is currently in danger of extinction due to the loss of habitat and its late flowering does not favor this situation.

An analysis of chromosomes in a culture containing mutated cells may show the loss of one or more bases making up the chromosome
ankoles [38]

The answer is; deletion mutation


This type of mutation mostly causes a phenomenon called frameshift mutation whereby the 3-codon sequence reading frame is shifted causing the amino acids translated, downstream of the deletion site, to be altered. This can gravely affect the function of the translated proteins and result in genetic disease.

The genes R, E and D are independently assorting and control production of red pigment as follows (recessive alleles are not fun
Alona [7]

Answer:

1/8

Explanation:

An individual must have all three dominant alleles to be red, in homozygosis or heterozygosis (R_E_D_).

<u>The parental cross was:</u>

RREEDD x rreedd

F1: RrEeDd

<u>The test cross</u> is between the RrEeDd indiviudals and homozygous recessive rreedd.

The genes assort independently, so we can use Mendel's law of segregation to predict separately for each gene the proportion of the offspring that will have the dominant alleles.

<h3><u>Rr x rr</u></h3>

1/2 Rr

1/2 rr

<h3><u>Ee x ee</u></h3>

1/2 Ee

1/2 ee

<h3><u>Dd x dd</u></h3>

1/2 Dd

1/2 dd

Genes are independent, so the probability of having a R_E_D_ offpsring is calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities of having a dominant allele for each gene:

1/2 (Rr) × 1/2 (Ee) × 1/2 (Dd)= 1/8

Explain why natural selection does not operate on characteristics which affect fitness
