Wegener used evidence of climate change to support his hypothesis. As a continent moves toward the equator, its climate becomes warmer. As a continent moves toward the poles, its climate becomes colder. But the continent carries with it the fossils and rocks that formed at its previous locations.

In beans the pod texture and growth form genes are located on different chromosomes. There are two varieties of beans in a farme

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a. Genotype in F1 - TtBb

Phenotype in F1 - tough pods, bush-type growth

b. Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for bush-type growth form = 5/8

c. Proportion of the F2 with tender pods = 1/4

d. Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for growth form and have tender pods = 1/8

Explanation:

Since the two traits are located on different chromosomes, they will independently assort during gametes formation. T is dominant over t and B is dominant over b.

Two true-breeding varieties were crossed at the beginning of the program:

TTBB x ttbb

All F1 plants will have the genotype TtBb with tough pods and bush-type growth form.

Advancing the cross to F2:

TtBb x TtBb

Progeny

1 TTBB - tough pods, bush-type

2 TTBb - tough pods, bush-type

2 TtBB - tough pods, bush-type

4 TtBb - tough pods, bush-type

1 TTbb - tough pods, climbing-type

2 Ttbb - tough pods, climbing-type

1 ttBB - tender pods, bush-type

2 ttBb - tender pods, bush-type

1 ttbb - tender pods, climbing-type

Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for bush-type growth form = 10/16 = 5/8

Proportion of the F2 with tender pods = 4/16 = 1/4

Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for growth form and have tender pods = 2/16 = 1/8

Explain how it is possible to have thousands of different protiens when there are only 20

solmaris [256]

This is possible because proteins are created from different combinations of amino-acids. While we only have 20 different kinds of aminoacids, these 20 kinds can create thousands of combinations that we can observe in our bodies and bodies of other mammals as well as other organisms.
