Biogeographical studies use information for various fields, such as evolutionary biology, geography, geology, and climate science to determine how organisms evolved through time and how the moving of tectonic plates resulting in forming continents, mountain ranges and islands has affected their distribution.
Studies in this field explain how organisms that now live on different continents are very closely related and how the flora and fauna of islands are connected to one of the closest continents etc.
Answer:
(a) Gg × Gg; (b) genotypic = 1:2:1, phenotypic = 3:1
Explanation:
a) A cross between two gray seeded plants produces progeny with gray and white seeds in 3:1 ratio (302:98=3:1). This means that the parent plants are heterozygous and each has at least one recessive allele. If the allele "G" is responsible for gray seed and the allele "g" imparts white color to the seeds, the genotype of the heterozygous parents would be "Gg".
b) A cross between two heterozygous gray seeded parents would produce progeny in following ratio:
Genotype ratio= 1 GG: 2 Gg: 1 gg
Phenotype ratio= 3 Gray: 1 white
