You decide to designate the alleles of the four loci as either additive (contributing to fruit segment number and represented by
a superscript "+") or non-additive (not contributing to fruit segment number and represented by a superscript "0"). Using this convention, choose the correct genotype for the two pure lines and the F1, and indicate how many additive alleles each genotype has.
1 answer:
Answer:
The correct genotype of the two pure lines and the F1 is:
A⁺A⁺B⁰B⁰C⁰C⁰D⁰D⁰ and A⁰A⁰B⁺B⁺C⁺C⁺D⁺D⁺
The number of additive alleles on each genotype are two and six respectively.
Explanation:
Locus( plural form . loci) are fixed point on a chromosome in which genes are located. These genes are specific genetic material or genotype.
Now;
If we decide to designate the allele of the four loci into either additive (⁺) or non-additive(⁰); we have the following :
Let's the allele of the four loci to be
A⁺/A⁰, B⁺/B⁰, C⁺/C⁰ and D⁺/D⁰
However, from the diagram below; we deduce that the correct genotype for the two pure lines and the F1 is as follows:
A⁺A⁺B⁰B⁰C⁰C⁰D⁰D⁰ and A⁰A⁰B⁺B⁺C⁺C⁺D⁺D⁺ and the number of additive alleles on each genotype are two and six respectively.
The cross between both F1 traits will yield an heterozygous individual for the offspring. i.e A⁺A⁰B⁺B⁰C⁺C⁰D⁺D⁰ with only four additive allele

Explanation:
Autotrophs are organisms that have the capacity to manufacture their foods from freely available inorganic products. There are two types of autotrophs
1. The photosynthetic autotrophs: these are green plants and blue-green algae that possess chlorophyll. The chlorophyll is used to trap radiation from the sun in the presence of water and carbon dioxide to manufacture carbohydrates which serve as their primary foods.
2. The chemosynthetic autotrophs: these are usually bacteria that make use of energy from inorganic chemicals (such as hydrogen sulphide, iron sulphide, etc) to reduce carbon dioxide and produce carbohydrates in the process.
<u>Photosynthesis is quantitatively more important to life on earth because green plants form the base of several food chains.</u> The energy locked in the carbohydrate produced during photosynthesis is important for other lives in the ecosystem and this is passed on through the various levels in the food chain. Also, the by-product of photosynthesis, the oxygen, is important for the survival of most life on earth who depends on oxygen for respiration. Chemosynthesis only occur in habitats where the radiant energy of the sun is lacking, such as hydrothermal vents.
