A genotype is the genetic coding of a trait, so it's a paired combination of genes. A genotype has two alleles, which can be dominate or recessive, but overall the answer should be <span>a paired combination of genes</span>
The correct answer is B. The parents are heterozygous with polka-dot tails, so they both have Pp genotype. The combination of their genotypes (Pp x Pp) could produce 4 genotypes PP, Pp, Pp and pp. Therefore, there is 25% chance for a PP genotype, 25% for a pp genotype and 50% for a Pp genotype. The PP and Pp genotypes produce a polka-dot tail phenotype and the pp genotype produces a solid coloured tail phenotype. In conclusion, there is 75% chance for a polka-dot tail (25% for a PP + 50% for a Pp) and a 25% for a solid coloured tail phenotype (25% for a pp).
Answer:
a. Let us consider that L is responsible for late and l is responsible for early. From the mentioned data, it can be concluded that allele L or late is dominant over early. By crossing plants 1 and 4 we get the expected ratio of 3: 1, which shows that it follows Mendel's law of dominant.
b. The genotype of all the four plants are:
1st plant = Ll
2nd plant = ll
3rd plant = LL
4th plant = Ll
c. If the plant 1 is self-fertilized then the expected progeny will be 3 (late): 1 (early).
In case if the 2nd plant is self-fertilized, the expected progeny will be only early.
In case if the 3rd plant is self-fertilized, the expected progeny will be only late.
In case if the 4th plant is self-fertilized, the expected progeny will be 3 (late): 1 (early).
Answer:
Explanation: At the molecular level, the universal genetic code and homologous molecules provide evidence of common descent.
