You cross two true-breeding parents (one with yellow seeds and one with green seeds), grow and self-pollinate the F1 generation,

and then count the number of offspring with yellow and green seeds in the F2 generation. If you counted 2,000 offspring and there was a 3:1 ratio of yellow:green seeds, how many offspring would have yellow seeds?

Answer:

1500

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele for yellow seed color is "Y" and the allele for green seed color is "y". Genotype of pure breeding yellow seeded plant would be "YY" and that of the green seeded plant would be "yy". A cross between YY and yy gives all heterozygous yellow seeded plants (Yy) in F1 progeny. Self pollination of two F1 plants (Yy x Yy) obtains F2 generation in 3 yellow: 1 green ratio.

The total population size of F2 generation = 2000

The proportion of yellow seeded plants in F2 generation = 3/4 (since the F2 phenotype ratio is given 3 yellow: 1 green)

Therefore, total number of yellow seeded plants in F2 progeny = 3/4 x 2000= 1500

Afina-wow [57]

By studying the population over an extended period of time, scientists can discover the change in number of population and its growth.

Florida panther population is listed as endangered, but it is estimated that the number is recovering. The population had grown from about 25 adults in 1995 to roughly 100 in 2010. The updated estimates from the 2017. calculated the number between 120 – 230 panthers which is still not a sustainable population size.

What is an incomplete dominance ? how is incomplete dominance different from complete dominance ?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

In complete dominance, only one allele in the genotype is seen in the phenotype. In codominance, both alleles in the genotype are seen in the phenotype. In incomplete dominance, a mixture of the alleles in the genotype is seen in the phenotype.
