Answer:
a) Genotype of each parent plant= Tt
b) Genotypes of parent plants= Tt and tt
Explanation:
a) In the first cross, the tall and short progeny was obtained in almost a 3:1 ratio (78: 27). This means that both the parent plants were heterozygous for the gene of plant height. The genotype of each of the parents was Tt. A cross between Tt and Tt gives following progeny ratio=
Tt x Tt = 3 tall (1/2 TT and 1/4 Tt) : 1 short (1/4 tt)
b) In the second cross, tall and short progeny was obtained in almost a 1: 1 ratio (121: 118). This means that one parent plant was homozygous recessive (tt) and the other was heterozygous dominant (Tt).
Tt x tt = 1 tall: 1 short.
B. O stands for Oxygen so the molecule has oxygen atoms.
Discovery of Bacteria and Other Achievements. Antony Leeuwenhoek was the first person to see bacteria. Through the late 1670s, he sent comprehensive data and detailed drawings of his sightings of bacteria and algae to the Royal Society in London.
Answer:
A) One of the genotype i.e true breed white is lethal
B) No
Explanation:
A) Two hamsters with white spots are crossed, 2/3 of the offspring possess white spots and 1/3 has no spots.
This means that the two white hamsters would be carrier for the trait of no spot.
The ratio for offspring signifies that one of the offspring dies because of lethal genotype.
B) No, because the true breed for white spotting is lethal.
However, heterozygous white spotting can be detected.
