Answer:
False
Explanation:
Mendel realized that the F2 had a phenotypic ratio 3:1, meaning 3/4 = 75% were yellow and 1/4 = 25% green.
Mendel observed that the F1 expressed only one of the alternative variants (in this case, only yellow seeds appeared), while the other variant (green) disappeared. Mendel named dominant the expressed variant. Mendel allowed auto pollination and observed that in the second generation, F2, the other disappeared variant reappeared. Both alternative variants were present in the F2. Mendel named recessive the second alternative variant.
Mendel thought that hereditary traits determined by discrete factors were the possible explication for these phenotypes. These factors should have been present in the F1 in pairs. One of them came from one parental plant, and the other factor came from the other plant. These factors then separated again when sex cells were produced, giving two types of gametes, each with only one factor.
Mendel concluded that each individual (plant) has a pair of factors (alleles), one for each trait (yellow and green) and that the pair separates (segregates) during the formation of the gametes. This conclusion is known as the segregation principle (First Mendels´ Low).
Answer:
Achondroplasia affects the long bones and individual has normal size, head and torso.
Explanation:
Achondroplasia dwarfism may be defined as the form of dwarfism in which the conversion of bone to cartilage is defected. This is the most common form of dwarfism.
Achondroplasia dwarfism mainly affects the long bones of an individual as there is problem in the conversion of cartilage to bone. The individuals have short arms and legs but they have normal head and torso size. The individuals has height around 4 feet.
If it displays the dominant genotype, we can assume that this plant would have a heterozygous (hybrid) genotype, i.e.
With a purebred recessive plant, the geneotypes would be 50% Bb and 50% bb.
With a purebred dominant plant, the genetpyes would be 50% BB and 50% Bb.
With a <span>heterozygous (hybrid) plant, the genotypes would be 25% BB, 50% Bb and 25% bb.</span>
