In summer squash fruit color exhibits epistatsis. There are two genes that affect the color, W and G, and each has two alleles o

ne dominant and one recessive. White color is caused by the dominant W allele. This allele is epistatic to G; that is, any squash with a W allele is white, regardless of the genotype for G. If and only if the fruit is homozygous ww, then G_ produces a green fruit and gg produces a yellow one. Assume you have a white squash of genotype (WwGg) which you mated with green squash of genotype (wwGg). Fill out the Punnet square below and then predict the phenotypic ratio in the offspring.

Answer:

  • 8/16 White fruits
  • 6/16 Green fruits
  • 2/16 Yellow fruits

Explanation:

Parental genotypes:           WwGg                  x                    wwGg

Gametes)                     WG   Wg   wG   wg                  wG    wG    wg    wg

                                          WG            Wg           wG            wg          

                          wG        WwGG      WwGg      wwGG       wwGg

                          wG        WwGG      WwGg      wwGG       wwGg

                          wg         WwGg      Wwgg       wwGg       wwgg

F1 Genotypic proportions:    2/16 WwGG

                                                   4/16 WwGg

                                                   2/16 Wwgg

                                                   2/16 wwGG

                                                   4/16 wwGg

                                                   2/16 wwgg

F1 Phenotypic proportions:    

  • 8/16 are White fruits: 2/16 <em>WwGG</em>, 4/16<em> WwGg</em>, 2/16 <em>Wwgg</em>. As W suppresses the expression of G or g, whenever W is present (as WW or Ww), the fruit color is white.
  • 6/16 Green fruits:  4/16 wwGg, 2/16 wwGG.
  • 2/16 Yellow fruits: 2/16 wwgg.

As ww does not suppress the expression of G or g, whenever ww is present, the fruit color might be green (wwGG or wwGg) or yellow (wwgg).

Serggg [28]

The process that transports solutes, including many drugs, into the tubular fluid is called tubular secretion. Under this process, there is transfer of materials from peritubular capillaries to the renal tubular lumen and the secretion is caused mainly by active transport and passive diffusion.

The ultimate goal of sustainable development is to limit the future use of resources b. meet current and future resource needs C
egoroff_w [7]

The correct answer is B. Meet current and future resource needs.

Explanation:

Sustainability implies an equilibrium between the natural resources available and the resources humanity requires. This equilibrium is reached when the natural resources extracted from nature are enough to satisfy human needs without depleting the resources or causing these are not available in the future. In this context, the goal of sustainable development is to make sure now and in the future resource needs are meet (option B). Moreover, this is possible through actions such as recycling, reducing deforestation, creating environment-friendly technologies, among others that reduce the depletion of resources or preserve the environment.
