Two true-breeding stocks of pea plants are crossed. One parent has red, axial flowers and the other has white, terminal flowers;

all F1 individuals have red, axial flowers. The genes for flower color and location assort independently. Among the F2 offspring, what is the probability of plants with white axial flowers? A) 9/16 B) 1/16 C) 3/16 D) 1/4

Answer:

Answer is 3/16.

Explanation:

If the F1 progeny has red axial flowers this shows us that red and axial genes are dominant. If we say that R is for red dominant gene, r is for white recessive gene.

If we say A is axial dominant gene, a is for terminal recessive gene.

All F1 progeny has AaRr phenotype.

When we cross them, Aa x Aa  can have AA Aa Aa aa

When Rr x Rr crossed, RR Rr Rr rr

The F2 progeny can have white axial flowers by having a and R in the phenotype with the possibility having aa= 1/4 , R in the phenotype , the possibility is 3/4.

1/4 x 3/4 = 3/16 in all F2 progeny

What results from the addition or deletion of nucleotides in any number except a multiple of 3?
eimsori [14]
Addition or deletion of nucleotides in any number besides 3 results in a "frame-shift mutation."
This is because every 3 nucleotides of DNA/mRNA exons codes for a single amino acid in the synthesis of a protein. This triplet codon theory means that if 3 nucleotides are added or deleted then an amino acid will be added or lost, but subsequent codons and amino acids will still be read correctly.
However, if any number of nucleotides other than 3 are added or removed, then the codons following the mutation will be out of "sync," in terms of the reading order.
Hence it is called a frame-shift mutation because it shift the reading frame when translating nucleic acids into proteins. Frame shifts will lead to the wrong amino acids being adding in the wrong order for the rest of the code after the mutation.
