The xylem is the structure of the plant that is responsible for transporting water from the ground up to the different parts of the plant. It is composed water, inorganic ions, and a number of organic chemicals.

Xylem tissue is found throughout the plant because not only does it transport water, but it also transports the nutrients that the plant needs for different processes. Aside from being responsible for the transportation of materials, the xylem is also used to replace water that was lost during photosynthesis and transpiration.

You have screened for several new recessive mutations in a species of wasp. Wasps homozygous for apricot (aa) have pale orange e

egoroff_w [7]

A pure-breeding double-mutant (apricot, blunt) has aabb genotype, wild-type wasp has genotype AABB. If we cross them:

P: aabb x AABB

F1: all the genotypes would be AaBb

If we ten cross the F1 dihybrids with the double-mutant line:

AaBb x aabb

F2: (table)

The four phenotypes are: 1) wild-type, 2) wild type apricot-short, 3) pale orange-wild type blunt, 4) double-mutant.

The possible haploid genotypes of the gamete it received from the F1 dihybrid: AB, Ab, aB, ab. AB and ab are nonrecombinant (nonREC), like those from parents, while Ab and aB gamets are recombinant (REC) .
