Flower color in the varieties of pea plants studied by Mendel is controlled by alleles at a single locus. A group of peas homozygous for purple flowers is grown in a garden. All flowers are purple, yet there is some variation in the intensity of the purple color. The estimated heritability for this observed variation in flower color would be
- 0.
- 0.5.
- 0.75.
- 1.
- Cannot be determined without additional information
Solution
Given all the pea plants in the garden are homozygous purple (PP)
If we cross two PP parents, the following offspring will be produces
PP * PP
PP, PP, PP, PP
This means that all offspring are also homozygous purple.
Thus, chances of inheriting variation in the purple color of offspring are negligible. However, the variation in their color can be due to their individual interaction with the variable factors in the environment
Hence, option 1, 0 is correct
The two biggest reasons for children spending less time outside are the development of technology and the safety issues. The development of technology brought in our homes countless forms of having fun which is very important to children. The mobile phones, PC's, laptop's, tablets, Sony Play Station, as well as lots of technologically improved toys, made the children stay at home since they have the fun indoors, and not be interested in going outside and in nature. Also the safety issues in lots of parts in the world made the parents to restrict the children to the indoors environment.
