A.
The waves change from transverse to longitudinal.
B.
The waves change from longitudinal to transverse.

A dihybrid cross is performed between plants that differ in two Mendelian traits: Stem length (T or t) and flower coloration (R
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

A. 3/16

Explanation:

The four possible outcomes for Stem length are:

Tt, tT, TT and tt.

The dominant trait (tall stems) will manifest itself in 3 out of 4 outcomes, so its ratio is 3/4.

The four possible outcomes for flower coloration are:

Rr, rR, RR and rr.

The non-dominant trait (white flowers) will manifest itself in 1 out of 4 outcomes, so its ratio is 1/4.

Multiplying both ratios gives us the ratio of offspring that have tall stems and white flowers:

\frac{3}{4}*\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{16}

Therefore, the answer is A. 3/16

How can two organisms with a dominant trait for a specific feature produce an organism with a recessive trait for the same featu
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

If the two organisms are heterozygous for the dominant trait.

Explanation:

For every trait, a diploid organism receives two forms of gene called ALLELE, from each parent. Allele is the variant form of a gene.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, for a particular trait, an allele is capable of masking the expression of another allele in a gene. The expressed allele is called the DOMINANT allele while the masked allele is called the RECESSIVE allele. Due to this, an organism can express a dominant trait even in a combined or heterozygous state i.e. different alleles.

When the two heterozygous organisms mate or are crossed, they undergo meiosis and their alleles are separated into GAMETES according to Mendel's law of segregation. For example; an organism with genotype (genetic make-up) Aa will produce gametes with A and a alleles.

Note that, a recessive trait can only be expressed in a homozygous state i.e. same allele. Hence, the two heterozygous organisms will produce gametes containing the recessive allele, which will likely combine to produce a recessive phenotype or trait.
