Pure-breeding sweet peas with purple flowers and round pollen are crossed with pure-breeding sweet peas with red flowers and lon

g pollen. The resulting F1 plants all have purple flowers and long pollen. When one of these plants is test crossed, 20% of the resulting offspring have purple flowers and long pollen. By how many map units are the genes for flower color and pollen shape separated? A. 10 B. 20 C. 40 D. 60 E. None of the above

Answer:

C. 40

Explanation:

Pure-breeding means that the individuals are homozygous for the genes being analyzed.

From Mendel's Law of Dominance we know that the traits that appear in the F1 are the dominant ones.

I will call:

P_ = purple flowers

pp   = red flowers

L_ = long pollen

ll  = round pollen

Initial cross:

P      Pl/Pl    x    pL/pL

F1              Pl/pL

<u>Test cross</u> (cross with a homozygous recessive individual):

Pl/pL   x  pl/pl

<u>Expected progeny:</u>

Pl/pl = Parental (purple flowers, round pollen)

pL/pl = Parental (red flowers, long pollen)

PL/pl = Recombinant (purple flowers, long pollen)

pl/pl = Recombinant (red flowers, round pollen)

20% of the offspring have purple flowers and long pollen (PL/pl).

Every time crossing over happens in the meiosis of the F1 individual, both a <em>PL</em> gamete and a <em>pl</em> gamete form. That means that 20% of the offspring will also be pl/pl, and the total proportion of the offspring that will be recombinants will be 40%.

A distance of 1 map unit corresponds to a recombinant frequency of 1%.

A recombinant frequency of 40% therefore means that 40 map units separate the glower color and pollen shape genes.

2.4 State two reasons why the fern plants are able to
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because ferns are vascular plants i.e they have vascular tissues which are xylem and phloems which help to conduct water and nutrients while mosses are non vascular plants.

2. Ferns sporophytes are differentiated into true leaves, stems and true roots while mosses lack true roots, stems and leaves.

Underground stems are modified part of plants that are derived from stem tissues which grow under the ground. Underground stems grow beneath the soil. Examples include Rhizomes, ginger, tubers e t.c.

Discuss how a coal seam might be used as a key bed.
Sever21 [200]
Coal seams are far deep underground to be considered for opencast minings. These coal seams require underground mining. Since it is too deep underground, it can be used for mapping and correlation of sedimentary rocks or as a key bed.

Protists are very diverse, and many different classification schemes have been used to define relationships between the protists
mars1129 [50]
By using both of these schemes, energy source and locomotion, amoeboids can be classified properly. Both schemes play an important part of amoeboid’s taxonomy classification because these organisms changes its shape when feeding. Amoebas are traditionally classified under sub-phylum Sarcodina, single-celled with pseudopods (use for locomotion) but recent studies show that they are not monophyletic and actually belong to other groups of organisms — with locomotion and source of nutrients as basis.
