In garden peas, one pair of alleles controls the height of the plant, and a second pair of alleles controls flower color. The al
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The parent's genotypes are:

Ddpp - tall, white parent

ddPp - dwarf, purple parent.

Explanation:

This question involves two different genes coding for height and flower color in pea plants. The alleles for tallness (D) and purple color (P) are dominant over the alleles for dwarfness (d) and white color (p) respectively.

According to this question, a tall plant with white flowers is crossed with a dwarf plant with purple flowers to produce the following proportion of offsprings: 1/4 tall purple, 1/4 tall white, 1/4 dwarf purple, and 1/4 dwarf white.

Since some of the offsprings contain recessive alleles for both or either genes, the dominant traits of the parent is controlled by an heterozygous genotype. This means that the tall plant with white flowers has a genotype: Ddpp while the dwarf plant with purple flowers has the genotype: ddPp. In a cross between Ddpp × ddPp, 1/4 of each combination of alleles is produced in the offsprings (see punnet square in the attachment).

What makes a fossil an index fossil ?
Masja [62]

Answer:

An index fossil is a fossil used to determine the age of the sediments in which it is found. When quickly approximating the age of new finds, an archaeologist looks at the rocks in which it is buried, as those sediments would have been on the surface at the time of the death of the pre-historic creature.

4. Which of the following statements best describes how the traits of an organism are determined
butalik [34]

Answer Choices:

DNA provides the energy needed for an organism to grow and function

DNA is copied into mRNA, which controls cellular functions

DNA codes for proteins, which allow an organism to grow and function

DNA unzips and each strand codes for a different amino acid

Answer:

DNA codes for proteins, which allow an organism to grow and function

Explanation:

DNA provides the energy needed for an organism to grow and function  - this is false. DNA does not provide energy. A molecule called ATP, mostly produced by cellular respiration, provides energy for the cells to grow and function.

DNA is copied into mRNA, which controls cellular functions  - this is false. While it is true that DNA is copied into mRNA, mRNA does not directly control cellular functions. Instead, mRNA is translated into proteins.

DNA codes for proteins, which allow an organism to grow and function  - <u>this is true, as indicated above, DNA is transcribed to mRNA which is translated into proteins. Proteins carry out essentially all the functions in the cell</u>

DNA unzips and each strand codes for a different amino acid - this is false, DNA is transcribed into mRNA. Each mRNA codon (three bases) codes for a different amino acid
