Answer:
The phenotypes are as follows
Purple, full- 9
Purple, constricted- 3
White, full- 3
White, constricted- 1
Genotype of parents are PpFf, each produce the following gametes: PF, Pf, pF and pf.
Explanation:
This is a dihybrid cross involving two distinct genes. One coding for flower color and the other for pod shape. The allele for purple color (P) is dominant over the allele for white color (p) while the allele for full pod (F) is dominant over the allele for constricted pod (f).
In a cross between two heterozygote parents i.e. PpFf × PpFf, each parent will produce the following gametes: PF, Pf, pF and pf. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image) the following 16 offsprings will be produced in a phenotypic ratio: 9:3:3:1
Purple color, full pod- 9
Purple color, constricted pod- 3
White flower, full pod- 3
White flower, constricted pod- 1
Answer:
The mentioned parental types are c+m- and c-m+. Thus, the recombinants will be c+m+ and c-m-.
Now, the given distance between c and m is 8 map units. Thus, the recombinant frequency is 8% or 0.08.
The total recombinants from 1000 plaques will come out to be 80,
Thus, the recombinants of each type will be 40.
Total parental type will be 920, and therefore, each parental type count will be 460.
Thus, expected c+m- = 460, expected c-m+ = 460, expected c+m+ = 40 and expected c-m- = 40.
An established population that is accustomed to change.
The cane toad was a failure as a biological control method in Australia because:
-The greyback beetle it was supposed to be eating fed at the top of the sugarcane stalks (which were 6-8 meters in height). Cane toads cannot fly or climb and therefore couldnt feed on the beetles.
-The beetles were out during the daytime, and cane toads feed at night.
-The two species are not seasonally compatible (aren't in the same place at the same time of year).
-The toads needed moist conditions to survive, and so moved away from where they were supposed to be.
-The cane toad eats many native species and often out-competes native species for food and breeding sites, leading to the decline of natives.
-Breeding habits made the cane toads a very invasive species.
Answer:
Millions of years ago, the Appalachians were taller than the Himalayas! Millions of years of erosion, however, have taken their toll. ... The crust that is now the Appalachians began folding over 300 million years ago, when the North American and African continental plates collided.
