Is it possible for plant breeders to develop a true-breeding pink-flowered snapdragon?

Biology
1 answer:
abruzzese [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Pink flower colour in snapdragon is as a result of incomplete dominance. The pink flower colour has no allele in nature. Instead, the pink colour results from incomplete dominance of the allele that codes for red flower colour over the allele that codes for the white flower colour.

Assuming that the allele for red flower colour in the plant is R and the allele for white flower colour is r, true breeding red and white flower colour plants will have the genotype RR and rr respectively. In heterozygote state (Rr), the phenotype is usually pink, showing that the R allele has incomplete dominance over the r allele.

<em>Hence, there is no way for plant breeders to develop a true-breeding pink-flowered snapdragon. without some genetic manipulations/mutation.</em>

How did Pangea breakup contribute to evolution
swat32
<span>If a geological barrier (like a continent splitting apart) separates a population of primates, then each population will evolve separately to fit the different conditions of their environments.

As a hypothetical example, if one part of Pangea went north, the primates on that part would adapt to cold temperatures. If the other part went toward the equator, those primates would adapt to heat and direct sunlight. Eventually they would evolve into different species over many generations.</span>

How does human use of natural resources impact human and animal populations?
Kruka [31]

We could use up all of them right away and not have the resources for humans and animals to survive.

Explanation:

Right now, we are using our natural resources at a consistent rate. We sometimes use to many of them in one day. If we continue using up our natural resources at the rate we are right now. We may not have the necessary resources to survive in about 10-20 years.
