In a certain plant, yellow leaves are dominant and red leaves are recessive. A plant with genotype Yy and a plant with Yy are cr

ossed. If they have four offspring, how many would you predict would have red leaves?

7 0

Answer:

One offspring would have red leaves.

Explanation:

Given

Yellow leaves are dominant and red leaves are recessive

Let us assume that the trait of Yellow color of a leaf be  represented by "Y"

and the trait of red color of a leaf be  represented by "y"

When two parent of genotype "Yy" are crossed with each other, the following offsprings are produced as shown in the punnet square below

Y y

Y YY Yy

y Yy yy

Total four offpsrings are produced out of which only one has red leave as red color is a recessive trait and it will appear only when both the allele in a cell are of red color.

Thus, one offspring would have red leaves.

DNA is transcribed into RNA, then RNA is translated into amino acids we can build into proteins
Rama09 [41]
During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase (green) uses DNA as a template to produce a pre-mRNA transcript (pink). The pre-mRNA is processed to form a mature mRNA molecule that can be translated to build the protein molecule (polypeptide) encoded by the original gene.

for a particular flower the allele for red is domonaniant the allele for white is ressivepunnent square
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-The red and white flower alleles are co dominant.

Explanation:

The Mendel suggested that for any trait, the organism contains its alleles which could be dominant and recessive. But there are cases in which multiple alleles exist for the same trait which are neither dominant nor recessive.  

Two cases arise due to this in which both the dominant alleles co-exist and show their phenotype effect called "co-dominance" and when both alleles form a new phenotype called 'incomplete dominance".

In the given case, the self-pollination produces red, white and patched flowers as a result of co-dominance because both the alleles show the equal effect on the flower petals (mixed phenotype) and form a flower with red patches or spots on the flower.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
