The purpose of studying and dissecting an earthworm is to help us understand other organisms. Earthworms are organisms that are tube-shaped, segmented worms that belong to the phylum Annelida and in the species Lubricous.  Earthworms decompose organic matter, break it into usable nutrients for their local ecosystems and recycle compost.

Answer:

Answer:Monohybrid Cross

Answer:Monohybrid CrossIn a monohybrid cross, the parent organisms differ in a single characteristic. Suppose, for example, two humans have children. The father has a widow's peak and the mother does not. A widow's peak is a dominant trait, meaning that if the child inherits the gene for this trait from one parent, that child will have a widow's peak regardless of the gene inherited from the other parent.

Answer:Monohybrid CrossIn a monohybrid cross, the parent organisms differ in a single characteristic. Suppose, for example, two humans have children. The father has a widow's peak and the mother does not. A widow's peak is a dominant trait, meaning that if the child inherits the gene for this trait from one parent, that child will have a widow's peak regardless of the gene inherited from the other parent.Consequently, there are two possibilities. The child could inherit the widow's peak gene from his father, or he could inherit the non-widow's peak gene from his father. He will inherit a non-widow's peak gene from its mother, who does not have the widow's peak gene. In this particular monohybrid cross, there is a fifty-fifty chance that any given child will have a widow's peak.

Answer:Monohybrid CrossIn a monohybrid cross, the parent organisms differ in a single characteristic. Suppose, for example, two humans have children. The father has a widow's peak and the mother does not. A widow's peak is a dominant trait, meaning that if the child inherits the gene for this trait from one parent, that child will have a widow's peak regardless of the gene inherited from the other parent.Consequently, there are two possibilities. The child could inherit the widow's peak gene from his father, or he could inherit the non-widow's peak gene from his father. He will inherit a non-widow's peak gene from its mother, who does not have the widow's peak gene. In this particular monohybrid cross, there is a fifty-fifty chance that any given child will have a widow's peak.Dihybrid CrossIn a dihybrid cross, the parents differ in two characteristics you want to study. The pattern of inheritance here is somewhat more complicated. Suppose, for example, that you have two parents, one of whom has dimples and a widow's peak while the other has no dimples and no widow's peak. Dimples, like a widow's peak, are a dominant trait. Consequently, if these two traits are not linked, each child has a 1/4 probability of inheriting dimples and widow's peak, a 1/4 probability of inheriting dimples but no widow's peak, a 1/4 probability of inheriting a widow's peak but no dimples, and a 1/4 probability of inheriting neither. Keep in mind, however, that linked traits might exhibit very different patterns.

How could the botanist best determine whether the genotype of the green-pod plant is homozygous or heterozygous?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Homozygosity is when the two alleles (gene form) are the same while heterozygosity is when the alleles are of different types.

In a gene, an allele is capable of masking the expression of another. The allele being expressed or that masks is called the DOMINANT allele while the allele being masked is the RECESSIVE allele.

A recessive allele will only be expressed (phenotypically) if the two alleles are of the same type i.e. homologous but when a dominant phenotype is expressed, one cannot ascertain whether the organism is heterozygous or homozygous for that gene. e.g T is the gene coding for height in plant, T which represents tallness is dominant over t, representing shortness. In a heterozygous (Tt) and homozygous dominant (TT) state, the plant will be phenotypically tall but will only be short in a homozygous recessive (tt) state.

Since the plant will be tall in homozygous (TT) or heterozygous (Tt), we cannot detect the actual genotype of the plant. Hence, a test cross is done.

A test cross is a cross between a dominant phenotype and a homozygous recessive in order to determine the actual genotype of the dominant organism i.e. whether homozygous or heterozygous.

In this case involving pod color gene, since the botanist is trying to determine whether the genotype of the green pod plant is heterozygous or homozygous, it means the allele for green pod is dominant over that of yellow pod (recessive).

N.B: The recessive trait can only be expressed if it is homozygous. Therefore, the yellow pod plant has homozygous recessive genotype.

A test cross is conducted by the botanist to determine whether the green pod plant is heterozygous or homozygous by crossing it with a yellow pod plant (homozygous recessive).

If any of the offspring plants exhibit recessive traits i.e. yellow pods, it means the parent green pod plant is heterozygous but if all the offspring plants show phenotypic dominant traits i.e green pod, it means the parent green pod plant is homozygous.
