In maize, a dominant allele A is necessary for seed color, as opposed to colorless (a). Another gene has a recessive allele wx t

hat results in waxy starch, as opposed to normal starch (Wx). The two genes segregate independently. An Aa WxWx plant is test crossed. What are the phenotypes and relative frequencies of offspring?

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).

The atom shown below is
joja [24]

Answer:

C. Not Likely to form any bonds

Explanation:

Assuming this atom is of neutral charge, it would be neon. We can tell as it has 10 electrons total. 2 in the first shell, 8 in the second. Noble gasses do <em>not</em>  form bonds, generally speaking.

Furthermore, any atom, ion or not, that has a full valance (outermost shell) is generally not likely to form bonds.
