Hi,

Let us get an introduction of the problem first, Incomplete dominance is a pattern of inheritance in which, offspring from the cross of two parents shows a phenotype that is not like either parent but in between both.

For example: Let us take the example of Oompah's hair that can be either red or purple or blue. As described in the question, Red is dominant so let us denote allele for Red hair with R. The other hair color is blue that is recessive, let us denote its allele with r. Now, there is another intermediate phenotype that is purple, let us denote it with Rr because it is derived through a combination of R and r.

Now, here is the key for all possible genotypes and phenotypes of Oompahs. There are only three possible genotypes and phenotypes for the hair color.

Genotype: Phenotype

RR             : Red hair

Rr              : purple hair

rr                : Blue hair

This is because no allele can fully express itself over the other. So is we cross a red hair Oompah with Blue hair Oompah, let us see what will happen:

                                                  RR x rr

Gametes:                              r        and        R

                                       rr:     Rr :     Rr     :  RR

It means that 25 % of the offspring will have red hair, 50% will have contain purple hair and 25 % will have blue hair.

RR:              Red hair      25%

Rr:               Purple hair   50 %

rr:                 Blue hair     25%

Hope it helps!

N pea plants, the allele for round peas, R, is dominant over the allele for wrinkled peas, r. What is the phenotype of a pea pla
VikaD [51]

Answer:

Smooth

Explanation:

Phenotype is how the plant looks. If we have Rr that means we have a dominant gene of smooth (R) . So this dominant gene covers the recessive gene so we can only observe the plant is smooth.

Carol has an unknown element in group 7. Using the periodic table, how many valence electrons does her element have?
NeTakaya

Answer: seven

Explanation: the valence electrons are the numi of electrons found in the outermost shell of an element. The group of an element indicates it's number of electrons in the outermost shell while the number of shells occupied by electrons indicates the period.

Thus since the element is in group seven it has seven valence electrons.
