Two independently segregating genes determine kernel color in wheat. Red color results from at least one dominant allele in both

genes. Kernels on rrbb plants are white, and the lack of a dominant allele in either the R locus or the B locus (but not both) results in brown kernel color. If you mate a plant that is true-breeding for red color kernels with a plant that is true-breeding for white color kernels:a.What is the expected phenotype of the F1 plants?b. What are the expected phenotypic classes in the F2 progeny and their relative proportions?

Answer:

a) The expected phenotype of the F1 plants is 100% RrBb, red kernels.

b) The expected phenotypic classes in the F2 are: 9:3:3:1

   9/16 R-B-, 3/16 rrB-, 3/16 R-bb,  1/16 rrbb

   Proportions 9:6:1.

9/16 Red kernel (R-B-), 6/16 Brown kernel (rrB- + R-bb), 1/16 White kernel (rrbb)    

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • red kernel: R-B-
  • brown kernel: R-bb or rrB-
  • white kernel: rrbb

F2)  Phenotypic classes:

       <em>9/16 R-B-</em>

<em>        3/16 rrB-</em>

<em>        3/16 R-bb</em>

<em>        1/16 rrbb</em>

      Phenotypic proportions:

      <em>9/16 Red kernel (R-B-)</em>

<em>       6/16 Brown kernel (rrB- + R-bb)</em>

<em>       1/16 White kernel (rrbb)         </em>

2- Explain how land that gets broken up can<br> contribute to loss of species diversity
Minchanka [31]

Explanation:

Broken up land land contributes to a loss of species diversity through geographoc isolation. Geographic isolation is the physical barrier dividing the communities. It usually stops the gene flow between species in a process called allopatric speciation, contributing to reproductive isolation.

Further Explanation:

Spontaneous modifications in the genome can occur during the cycle of cell division, called mutations. These errors occur as copies of the DNA are produced within the cell; mutations may range from small modifications called single nucleotide polymorphisms to large-scale deletions and multi-gene additions.

Such mutations create variations that within a group become dominant, resulting in the creation of different, genetically distinct organisms called species.

RNA and DNA are both the instruction on how to create proteins, which then determine our specific traits. Where does DNA live in
atroni [7]

Answer:

DNA is located in the nucleus, but can also be found in other cell structures called mitochondria. Since the nucleus is so small, the DNA needs to be tightly packaged into bundles known as chromosomes.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

K I'm not sure about this one, but it should be capillary action

Explanation:

This is because cohesion and adhesion have to do with water stick to surfaces. Capillary action occurs because of how the water sticks and bonds to certain surfaces. Cohesion is how water molecules stay together, while adhesion is how water molecules are attracted to other molecules.
