Answer:
Mitochondrial DNA is the DNA located in mitochondria, cellular organelles within eukaryotic cells that convert chemical energy from food into a form that cells can use, adenosine triphosphate.
Explanation:
Answer:
A. Mendel observed green and yellow pea pods in a 3:1 ratio because the F1 generation was heterozygous.
Explanation:
The two true breeding plants in the parental population were homozygous (that is what true breeding means). Therefore, their cross would lead to all heterozygous offspring (see attached punnet square). Green is the dominant characteristic, so all F1 plants had a green phenotype, but Gg genotype.
The F1 cross would therefore be Gg x Gg. See attached punnet square.
The genotypes in the F2 generation are 1 GG: 2 Gg: 1 gg 1
Therefore, the phenotypic ratio is 3 green pea pods (Gg or GG): 1 yellow (gg)
