A heterozygous tall pea plant is allowed to self-fertilize. The resulting F1 progeny are 25% homozygous tall, 50% heterozygous t

Answer:

25% heterozygous tall

Explanation:

If we take the F1 generation as parents and let them self-fertilise, we have 4 crosses.

The first one for homozygous tall, then we have 100% AA.

The second and third one for heterozygous tall and we have 25% AA, 50%Aa and 25%aa for each of them.

The last one would be for dwarf, and we'll have 100%aa.

Adding all of them, we'll have

AA = 100 + 25 + 25 = 150%

Aa =  50+50 = 100%

aa = 100 + 25 + 25 = 150%

as we had 4 crosses, so dividing the total percentages by 4, we'll have,

AA = 37.5%

Aa = 25%

aa = 37.5%

:. The percentage of heterozygous tall would be 25%.

Hope it helps:)

A mutation in a gene in the fruit fly drosophila was found to affect eye color. the protein affected was found to be completely
Sav [38]

<span>The mutation did not affect amino acid sequence or the molecular weight (no evidence of amino acid substitution or protein truncation). Therefore, the mutation is not likely within the coding region of the gene.  Most likely the mutation is in the regulatory region of the gene such as the promoter region. Such mutation would interfere with transcription initiation and hence decreases the amount of mRNA and protein produced. </span>
