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

Productive, species-rich areas and vegetation growing alongside rivers and streams are known as:
noname [10]
Between rivers or streams, and the dry land are areas covered by lush vegetation called the "riparian zone". These consists of shrubs, grass, and small trees. This area is highly productive due to its close proximity to a water source, as compared to the areas found farther from the rivers. The riparian zone is a terrestrial biome.

Which of the following is not a negative consequence of upward urban growth? a. pollution b. creation of a “heat island” c. incr
Murrr4er [49]
Solution: C. Increased use of surrounding land

Upward urban growth will increase pollution as the number of people will increase. The increase in population and obstruction of free movement of air because of upward urban growth will result in a "heat island". Since the number of inhabitants is going to increase with upward urban growth, waste management will also become an issue.
