In clover plants, the pattern on the leaves is determined by a single gene with multiple alleles that are related in a dominance

series. The gene is not pleiotropic. Seven different alleles of this gene are known; an allele that determines the absence of a pattern is recessive to the other six alleles, each of which produces a different pattern All heterozygous combinations of alleles show complete dominance
a. How many different kinds of leaf patterns (including the absence of a pattern) are possible in a population of clover plants in which all seven alleles are represented? phenotype that could be represented by only a single genotype? you can identify a few plants representative of all possible pattern types. Explain this finding.
b. What is the largest number of different genotypes that could be associated with any one phenotype? Is there any
c. In a particular field, you find that the large majority of clover plants lack a pattern on their leaves, even though you can identify a few plants representative of all possible pattern types.explain this finding

Answer:

The correct answer is -

a. 7

b. 7 (p1p1, p1p2, p1p3, p1p4, p1p5, etc

c. p7 is abundant

Explanation:

According the question the dominance of the big leaves is p7 > p6 >p5 >p4 >p3 >p2 >p1 where 1 represent least dominance and 7 represent most dominance  

let represent the phenotype with the numbers 1 to 7 and genotype with a combination of these numbers so the genotype in respect of phenotype would be :

p7p7,p7p6, p7p5, p7p4, p7p3, p7p2, p7p1 - most dominant 7

p6p6, p6p5, p6p4, p6p3, p6p2, p6p1 - 6

p5p5, p5p4, p5p3, p5p2, p5p1 - 5

p4p4, p4p3, p4p2, p4p1 - 4

p3p3, p3p2, p3p1 - 3

p2p2, p2p1 - 2

p1p1- 1 least dominant

Thus, there are 28 different combinations or patterns of genotypes. 7 phenotypes patterns.

How does carbon dating tell us how old a bone is ?
Anestetic [448]

carbon dating shows how old a bone is by measuring the amount of carbon 12, and carbon 14 that the bone contains. and because carbon 14 is not replaced by exchange with the atmosphere the ratio of c12:c14 (the ratio of carbon 12 to carbon 14) tells how old the bone is by comparing the amount of carbon 14 to the amount of carbon 12. carbon 14 has a half life of 5,700 years, while carbon 12 is stable and does not radioactively decay at all.
