Answer:

b. 3 (whilte) : 1(purple)

Explanation:

The first dihybrid crossing is between AaBb x AaBb

Now, if the double heterozygous traits self crossed, we have the following gametes shown below for the F₂ crossing.

AaBb = (AB, Ab, aB, ab)

                    AB                     Ab                     aB                     ab

AB                AABB                AABb                AaBB                AaBb

Ab                AABb                AAbb                AaBb                Aabb

aB                AaBB                 AaBb                aaBB                aaBb

ab                AaBb                 Aabb                 aaBb                aabb

We were being told that the results are;

purple: A_B_ 9/16

white: aaB_ 3/16

white: A_bb 3/16

white: aabb 1/16

From above, we can see that the same is true;

For Purple color; we Have (AABB and AaBb) since A is dominant to a and B is dominant to b.

∴ From the above punnet square; we have 9 purple colors which are:

(AABB, AABb, AaBB, AaBb, AABb, AaBb, AaBB, AaBb, AaBb) = 9/16

white: aaB_ ( since B is dominant to b, it can be either BB or Bb)

= (aaBB, aaBb, aaBb) = 3/16

white: A_bb ( since A is dominant to a, it can be either AA or Aa)

= (AAbb, Aabb, Aabb) = 3/16

white: aabb i.e homozygous recessive = (aabb) = 1/16

Furthermore, the question goes further by saying:

If a double heterozygote (AaBb) is crossed with a fully recessive organism (aabb), what phenotypic ratio is expected in the offspring?

If AaBb self crossed, we have:  (AB, Ab, aB, ab)

If aabb self crossed, we have: (ab, ab, ab, ab)

                    AB                     Ab                     aB                     ab

ab                AaBb                Aabb                aaBb                 aabb

ab                AaBb                Aabb                aaBb                 aabb

ab                AaBb                 Aabb               aaBb                 aabb

ab                AaBb                 Aabb                aaBb                aabb

AaBb ( purple)

= 4/16

= 1/4

= 0.25

= 25%

Aabb (white)

= 4/16

= 1/4

= 0.25

= 25%

aaBb (white)

= 4/16

= 1/4

= 0.25

= 25%

aabb (white)

= 4/16

= 1/4

= 0.25

= 25%

Now the proportion of white to purple =  (25%+25%+25%): 25%

=  75%:25%

= 3(white):1(purple)

We can therefore conclude that the expected phenotypic ratio in the cross between a double heterozygote (AaBb) with a fully recessive organism (aabb) yeids;

3 (whilte) : 1(purple)

Answer:

1. "a, O, and J"

2. "R and C"

3. I'm not entirely sure about #3, but I believe the answer is "d and R"

4."J, K, I, M, N"

5. "d"

6. "I" explain why: "It is at the bottom, so it is therefore the oldest."

7. "Q" explain why: "It is at the top, so it is therefore the youngest."

8. The folding occured before the faulting. Why? Because the folding is evident in the second half of the fault.

Which does not belong between carrot,beetroot,potato,radish?
Aloiza [94]
The answer is <span>potato.

Potato is a stem tuber while carrot, beetroot, and radish are true root crops and not tubers.
</span>

Tuber is a structure that provides nutrients for the next season regrowth. It is specialised for asexual reproduction. Potato is a stem tuber, for example. In one growing season, the tuber is produced and used to perennate the plant. In the autumn, when the plant structure above-ground dies, the tuber survives underground over the winter. When spring comes, tuber regenerates new shoots thanks to nutrients stored. On the other hand, true root crops (carrot, beetroot, radish) are modified roots to store energy but they are not specialised for asexual reproduction.
