Answer: - Predict an unknown genotype of a purebred dominant plant.
Explanation:
The genetic make up of the organism is called as the genotype. It describes the form of genes or allelic forms present in the organism. A test cross is used to determine the genotype of the organism. In this cross the organism with the unknown genotype is done with that of the organism with the known genotype. It also determines the fact that the organism is either homozygous dominant or hetrozygous.
On the basis of the above description, Predict an unknown genotype of a purebred dominant plant.
You can make a table with each sun/star and plot them by color/heat. I hope this helps!
Answer: The man's genotype is WwLt while the woman's genotype is wwLt.
Explanation: From the information given above, W is the allele for wide jaw, w is the allele for narrow jaw, W is completely dominant to w, L is the allele for large teeth while t is the allele for small teeth.
The man has wide jaw but his mother has a narrow jaw, since narrow jaw is recessive the man must have inherited one recessive allele for narrow jaw from his mother who has two recessive alleles for narrow jaw. Therefore since the man has wide jaw, he must be heterozygous for wide jaw (having one dominant allele for wide jaw and one recessive allele for narrow jaw), his genotype for wide jaw is therefore Ww. The man is heterozygous for teeth size, this means that he has one dominant allele for large teeth and one recessive allele for small teeth. His genotype for teeth size is Lt. Therefore the man's genotype is WwLt.
The woman has a narrow jaw, this means that she has two recessive alleles for narrow jaw (ww) and she is heterozygous for large teeth size, this means that she has one dominant allele for large teeth and one recessive allele for small teeth (Lt). Therefore, the woman's genotype is wwLt.
