Suppose two independently assorting genes are involved in the pathway that determines fruit color in squash. These genes interac

t with each other to produce the squash colors seen in the grocery store. At the first locus, the W allele codes for a dominant white phenotype, whereas the w allele codes for a colored squash. At the second locus, the allele Y codes for a dominant yellow phenotype, and the allele y codes for a recessive green phenotype. The phenotypes from the first locus will always mask the phenotype produced by the second locus if the dominant allele (W) is present at the first locus. This masking pattern is known as dominant epistasis. A dihybrid squash, Ww Yy, is selfed and produces 160 offspring. How many offspring are expected to have the white, yellow, and green phenotypes

Answer:

120 white individuals

30 yellow individuals

10 green individuals  

Explanation:

Available data:

  • Dominant epistasis: Phenotypic frequencies 12:3:1
  • W allele codes for a dominant white phenotype
  • w allele codes for a colored squash
  • Y allele codes for a dominant yellow phenotype
  • y allele codes for a recessive green phenotype
  • W allele will always mask the phenotype produced by Y or y alleles
  • 160 offspring

F1 Phenotypic Frequency)

White phenotype: 12/16 = 120 individuals

Yellow phenotype: 3/16 = 30 individuals

Green Phenotype: 1/16 = 10 individuals

To know how many offspring are expected to have the white, yellow, and green phenotypes, you can perform a three simple rule. This is:

16 ------- 160 offspring

12 White ------- X = 120 offspring

3 Yellow ------- X= 30 offspring

1 Green --------X = 10 offspring

What is the kingdom of fungi
patriot [66]
The kingdom of fungi is made up of variety of organisms, such as mushrooms, yeast, molds, etc. The organisms in this kingdom live by decomposing and absorbing the organic molecules on which they grow.
 The major characteristics of the organisms in the fungi kingdom is that they possess hyphae, which they use for absorption of nutrients. 
The organisms in the fungi kingdom are multi cellular eukaryortic and are incapable of producing their own food, that is, they are heterotrophs.
