Answer:

  • 1/2 Aa Wx wx (colored seeds, normal starch)
  • 1/2 aa Wx wx (colorless seed, normal starch).

Explanation:

  • A (colored seed) is dominant over a (colorless)
  • Wx (normal starch) is dominant over wx (waxy)

Both loci are independent.

A <em>Aa WxWx </em>individual was test crossed (crossed with a homozygous recessive <em>aa wxwx</em> individual).

  • The homozygous recessive can only produce <em>a wx </em>gametes.
  • The dihybrid individual can produce two types of gametes, all of them with the same frequency because the genes segregate independently: 1/2 <em>A Wx </em>and 1/2<em> a Wx </em>

<u>The possible offspring resulting from the combination of those gametes is:</u>

  • 1/2 Aa Wx wx (colored seeds, normal starch)
  • 1/2 aa Wx wx (colorless seed, normal starch).

Sindrei [870]
The statements that are true of heterogeneous mixtures are: they settle out and the proportions of solute to solvent may vary. The correct answer is option A. 1 and 2. Heterogeneous mixtures are considered mixtures wherein the components are not uniform and still retain their properties. Characteristics of heterogeneous mixtures are: the ratio of solute and solvent is not equal, the substances can be separated physically and they still retain their properties even if mixed with another substance.

What is the different type of atoms present in an amino acid, glucose, and a nucleotide?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

The key elements of an amino acid are carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), and nitrogen (N).

Glucose is a hydrocarbon, so it contains carbon (C), and hydrogen (H). It also contains oxygen (O).

Nucleic acids are complex arrangements of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous.
