A sugarcane plant with yellow pollen and wavy leaves is crossed with a plant with yellow pollen and smooth leaves. Seed are coll

ected and germinated. The following results are obtained in the progeny:
153 yellow pollen, wavy leaves
145 yellow pollen, smooth leaves
48 white pollen, wavy leaves
51 white pollen, smooth leaves

a. For each locus (trait): Assign appropriate symbols for the alleles of the genes, indicate the dominance interaction between the two alleles, and give all possible genotypes and their associated phenotypes
b. Give the genotypes of the parents of this cross.
c. Give the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the progeny of this cross.

Answer:

a.

i) Y and y represent Yellow and white alleles for the pollen color gene; where Y (yellow) is dominant over y (white).

ii) W and w represent wavy and smooth alleles respectively for the leaf texture gene. W (wavy) is dominant over w (smooth).

YYWW, YyWW, YyWw, YYWw- yellow, wavy phenotype

YYww, Yyww- yellow, smooth phenotype

yyWW, yyWw- white, wavy phenotype

yyww- white, smooth phenotype

b) yellow pollen and wavy leaves (YyWw) × yellow pollen and smooth leaves (Yyww)

c) Expected genotypic and phenotypic ratio of progeny: 3:3:1:1

Explanation:

This question involves two distinct genes; one coding for pollen color and the other for leaf texture. Let Y and y represent Yellow and white alleles respectively for the pollen color gene; where Y (yellow) is dominant over y (white) while W and w represent wavy and smooth alleles respectively for the leaf texture gene; W allele (wavy) is dominant over w allele (smooth).

Next, we convert the progeny number to phenotypic ratio by dividing each number by the smallest number (48)

yellow pollen, wavy leaves= 153/48 =3.18

yellow pollen, smooth leaves= 145/48= 3.02

white pollen, wavy leaves= 48/48= 1

white pollen, smooth leaves= 51/48= 1.06

Approximately, the phenotypic ratio of the progeny is 3:3:1:1

According to the question, a parent with with yellow pollen and wavy leaves will have genotype YyWw because white pollen (w) and smooth leaf (s) was produced in the progeny. Also, the other parent with yellow pollen and smooth leaves will have genotype: Yyww. In a cross between these two parents i.e. YyWw × Yyww, the following gametes will be produced:

YyWw- YW, Yw, yW, yw

Yyww- Yw, Yw, yw, yw

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attachment), the following 16 offsprings will be produced in a ratio 3:3:1:1

yellow pollen, wavy leaves (Y_W_) 6

yellow pollen, smooth leaves (Y_ww) 6

white pollen, wavy leaves (yyW_) 2

white pollen, smooth leaves (yyww) 2

How many combinations of genotypes are possible for the coat coloration of rabbits which is governed by three alleles?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

b) 6

Explanation:

There are three different alleles (A,B,C) which are responsible for coat coloration but only combination of two can move forward because there are two loci at every homologous pair of chromosomes.

Thus, six combinations can be formed as AA, AB, AC, BB, BC, CC.

When did Cyanobacteria start producing pure oxygen
Travka [436]

<u>Answer:</u>

Cyanobacteria start producing pure oxygen around 200 million years ago.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Many scientists believed that Earth did not have any oxygen. Cyanobacteria or the blue green algae are the microbes which produced oxygen for the first time with the help of photosynthesis.  This was around 4.5 billion years ago: after Hadean eon.

They were very simple, but they produced oxygen in the early earth’s atmosphere. So, they brought evolution on earth. This “blue-green algae” exists in salt water, rocks and soils and play a major role in maintaining the ecosystem.
