Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
ALL options are as follows -
a. teosinte and maize can produce fertile hybrids.
b. teosinte and maize have similar chromosomes.
c. Both Teosinte and maize have naked, soft kernel.
d. Teosinte and maize can produce fertile hybrids
Solution
Beadle started working on maize genetics since 1962 after joining graduate school at Cornell University.
During his research he found that the chromosomes of teosinte and maize possess higher similarity and also show signs of intercross ability of the two species and hence confirmed that wild teosinte is an ancestor of domesticated maize.
He later concluded that there are only 4 to 5 genes that make these two species different from each other rest all is similar.
Option B is correct
The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
<h2>Law of independent assortment </h2>
Explanation:
- There are 8 distinct phenotypes, each one has a 12,5% of appearance: Since M=solid leaves D=normal height P= smooth skin.
- Recessive gene characters can only be taken in homozygous recessive mmddpp.
1. MmDdPp: M=solid leaves D=normal height P= smooth skin.
2. MmDdpp M=solid leaves D=normal height pp= peach skin.
3. MmddPp M=solid leaves dd=dwarf height P= smooth skin.
4. Mmddpp M=solid leaves dd=dwarf height pp= peach skin.
5. mmDdPp mm=mottled leaves D=normal height P= smooth skin.
6. mmDdpp mm=mottled leaves D=normal height pp= peach skin.
7. mmddPp mm=mottled leaves dd=dwarf height P= smooth skin.
8. mmddpp mm=mottled leaves dd=dwarf height pp= peach skin.
Hence,The answer is all eight possible phenotypes from the cross MmDdPp x mmddpp are equally likely, resulting in a phenotypic ratio of 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1
