In a given hybridization between two flowers, red "R" is dominant, and white "r" is recessive. In a cross between two white-flow

ered plants, what statement would BEST describe the offspring? A) 75% of the flowers would be white and the remaining 25% would be red. B) There would be some variation; most flowers would be white and a few would be red. C) There would be no variation in color. All flowers will be white unless a mutation occurred. D) Flower color variation would be equally divided given the homozygous parents: half red and half white.

C, since rr and rr together cannot make Rr or RR.

Answer:

C) There would be no variation in color. All flowers will be white unless a mutation occurred.

Explanation:

A recessive phenotype is generated in an offspring when the offspring receives <u>both the recessive alleles</u> for a trait from each of its parent. So if a progeny has white phenotype then it simply means that it does not have any dominant allele because dominant allele masks the expression of recessive allele and produces a dominant phenotype. Here, red "R" is dominant while  white "r" is recessive.

The Punnett square diagram for a cross between two white-flowered plants is attached.

It is clear from the diagram that all the progeny will have recessive "rr" genotype so all of them will have white flowers.

But, in case a mutation occurs in those plants which changes the recessive allele (r) to dominant (R) or any other variant allele then only some variations in flower color  may occur.

larisa [96]

Answer:

II. meiosis

III. fertilization

IV. gametes

Explanation:

Gamete formation and fertilization are the processes performed by all the sexually reproducing organisms. Gametes are the cells that are formed in the male and female sexual organs of these organisms. Formation of gametes occurs by meiosis and therefore, the gametes of a diploid organism are always haploid.

Male and female gametes fuse during the process of fertilization and form the zygote which in turn divide repeatedly to produce an embryo. For instance, sperms and eggs are the male and female gametes that are formed in testes and ovaries of male and female human individuals respectively. The fusion of sperm and egg produces a zygote that finally develops into a young one.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

  1. E/e ; T/t  ⇒ Square eyes and long tail (Option D)
  2. 3/16 will have round eyes and long tails (Option C)
  3. 1/4 of the progeny will be heterozygous for both traits (Option A)

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • Two diallelic unlinked genes
  • Gene E controls eye shape: Dominant allele E expresses square eyes, and recessive allele e expresses round eyes.
  • Gene T controls the tail size. Dominant allele T expresses long trail, and recessive allele t expresses short tail.

<u>Genotypes                                          Phenotypes</u>

EETT, EeTT, EETt, EeTt                     Square eyes and Long tail

eeTT, eeTt                                          Round eyes and Long tail

EEtt, Eett                                             Square eyes and Short tail

eett                                                      Rounf eyes and short tail.

<em>1. An individual of this new species is heterozygous for gene E and heterozygous for gene T. What is their genotype and phenotype?</em>

The heterozygous individual is E/e ; T/t, expressing square eyes and a long tail.

<em>2. Two individuals, who are both heterozygous for eye shape and tail size, mate. Which of the following is a correct statement about the phenotype ratios expected for their offspring?</em>

Cross: between two heterozygous individuals

Parentals) EeTt    x     EeTt

Gametes) ET, Et, eT, et

                ET, Et, eT, et

Punnett square)  .   ET        Et        eT       et

                  ET     EETT    EETt    EeTT    EeTt

                  Et      EETt     EEtt     EeTt      Eett

                  eT    EeTT    EeTt    eeTT     eeTt

                   et     EeTt      Eett     eeTt      eett

F1) Genotype:

  • 1/16 EETT
  • 2/16 EETt
  • 1/16 EEtt
  • 2/16 EeTT
  • 4/16 EeTt ⇒ 1/4 EeTt
  • 2/16 Eett
  • 1/16 eeTT
  • 2/16 eeTt
  • 1/16 eett

      Phenotype

  • 9/16 E-T-, Square eyes and Long tails
  • 3/16 E-tt, Square eyes and short tails
  • 3/16 eeT-, Round eyes and Long tails
  • 1/16 eett, round eyes and short tail

Phenotypic ratio 9:3:3:1

<em>3. From the mating described in question ABOVE, what proportion of ALL of the offspring in will be heterozygous for both traits?</em>

4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny are expected to be heterozygous for both traits, EeTt.

neonofarm [45]

Answer: If one is constructing a phylogeny of reptiles using DNA sequence data of birds, mammals, amphibians or fish, the suitable outgroup to be used are mammals due to the time of divergence from other group of organisms.

Explanation: Phylogeny is used to determine evolutionary relationship between items or organisms. A phylogenetic tree is a graphical illustration of phylogenetic relationship. In phylogeny, an outgroup represent an organism that is more distantly related to other group of organisms.

In a phylogenetic tree, outgroup stands alone. It shows that the time of divergence of that particular organism is far from other group of organisms. Outgroup is used to root a tree and sometimes represent a group that is more ancestral on a tree.

It should be noted that differences in the DNA sequences of the organisms under consideration will determine which organism will serve as the outgroup.
