Imagine you do a test cross between a purple-flowered pea plant having serrated leaves (a dominant trait) and a white-flowered p
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

genes for flower color and edge shape are linked. They do not assort independently.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • test cross between a purple-flowered pea plant having serrated leaves and a white-flowered pea plant having smooth edges.
  • serrated leaves → dominant trait
  • smooth edges → recessive trait
  • purple color → dominant trait
  • white color → recessive trait
  • F1: 4 purple-serrated:1 purple-smooth:1 white-serrated:4 white-smooth.

There are two genes involved in the cross. The expected ratios are 1:1:1:1 because we assume genes assort independently. However, we see a different phenotypic distribution. When phenotypic ratios differ from the expected ones, it means that genes are linked.

To know if two genes are linked in the same chromosome, we must observe the progeny distribution. If individuals, whose genes assort independently, are test crossed, they produce a progeny with equal phenotypic frequencies 1:1:1:1. But if instead of this distribution, we observe a different one, that is that phenotypes appear in different proportions, we can assume that genes are linked in the double heterozygote parent

Which of the following is not a vascular plant?<br> conifer<br> fern<br> moss<br> flowering plant
scoundrel [369]
The answer is moss.

Mosses are nonvascular seedless plants. <span>Nonvascular plants have simple tissues specialized for internal water transport.</span>
On the other side, vascular plants have vascular tissue which consists of xylem and phloem. Xylem transport water and minerals from the root to the upper parts of the plant. Phloem transports food and nutrients from the leaves, where they are produced, to the growing or storage parts of the plants.
