Fruit color in a particular plant is controlled by a set of three quantitative trait loci (i.e., QTLs or polygenes), that work i

n an equal and additive manner. Each QTL has two alleles (i.e., A and a); each allele represented by a capital letter produces one dose of yellow pigment, while alleles represented with lower case letters do not produce any pigment at all. A trihybrid plant (A/a; B/b; C/c) is selfed. Assuming no effects of the environment, what proportion of the offspring will have the same fruit color phenotype as the trihybrid parent?

Answer:

1/8

Explanation:

Given that the trihybrid parents have AaBbCc genotype for fruit color. The trait is a quantitative trait i.e. each dominant allele will have an additive effect on it. In this case, AaBbCc and AABBCC will not produce same fruit color because AaBbCc has only three loci contributing to the color while in AABBCC all the six loci are contributing to the color. For an offspring to be exactly similar to the AaBbCc parents it should have the same genotype of AaBbCc.

The probability of Aa to come from a cross between Aa and Aa is 2/4 or 1/2

The probability of Bb to come from a cross between Bb and Bb is 2/4 or 1/2

The probability of Cc to come from a cross between Cc and Cc is 2/4 or 1/2

So the collective probability of AaBbCc offspring from a cross between AaBbCc and AaBbCc parents would be=

1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

Hence, assuming no effects of the environment, 1/8 of the offspring will have the same fruit color phenotype as the trihybrid parent.

How does the suns energy cause a hurricane to form
BigorU [14]
The sun heats the land and oceans unevenly, creating areas of upwards and downwards moving air as well as pressure differences. This causes air to flow from one area to another. For hurricanes the sun heats the ocean, causing some water to evaporate. The water vapor powers convection in storms which can then <span>strengthen and organize to form hurricanes. Hope this helps:)

What would happen if the cell went<br> through mitosis but not cytokinesis?
cupoosta [38]

Answer/Explanation:

The result of mitosis without cytokinesis will be a cell with more than one nucleus. Such a cell is called a multinucleated cell. This can be a normal process. For example, humans have certain multinucleated bone cells (osteoclasts) that are formed this way

how does the changing nature of water rights related to the big question: why are we running out of water?
Free_Kalibri [48]
We've had the same amount of water on our planet since the beginning of time. Even though 70 percent of the globe is covered in water, less than 1 percent is accessible to us.

But now there is 6.7 billion people using that water. We're on track to be up to 8 billion people in 15 years. With our current population, there is already water stress.

Describe the relationship between a human community and a biological community
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Explanation:

Organisms form species if they live together and can reproduce offspring. A group of organisms of the same species living in the same place at the same time is called a population. If we put populations of different species together, that's called a community. So, a community needs groups of different species to exist.
