The DNA molecule is shaped like a ladder that is twisted into a coiled configuration called a double helix. The nitrogen bases form the rungs of the ladder and are arranged in pairs, which are connected to each other by chemical bonds.

You have a plant with yellow seeds, which express a dominant phenotype. How would you determine the plant's genotype? Conduct a
Archy [21]
The answer is <span>Conduct a test cross with a purebred recessive plant. 

</span>

Test cross is the cross between an organism with unknown dominant genotype and an organism with known recessive genotype.

<span>Since dominant trait results from a dominant allele, the test cross can determine if an unknown genotype is heterozygous and homozygous dominant. </span>

If A is dominant allele, and a is recessive allele, then AA is dominant homozygote, Aa is a heterozygote, and aa is recessive homozygote.

<span>According to the Punnett square, if all of the offspring are heterozygote (Aa), then unknown genotype is dominant homozygous (AA). If half of the offspring are the heterozygote, and the other half are recessive homozygote, then the unknown genotype is heterozygote (Aa).</span>

In pea plants, smooth (S) peas are dominant over wrinkled (s) peas in the single gene controlling pea texture. A plant with smoo
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Ss and ss

Explanation:

<em>Since the smooth trait (S) is dominant over the wrinkle trait (s), the genotype of the wrinkled pea parent is definitely </em><em>ss</em><em>.</em>

<em>Also, some of the progeny had wrinkled pea texture (ss). Each of the 2 wrinkled alleles must have been donated by each of the parent. It thus means that the smooth pea parent is heterozygous for the trait (</em><em>Ss</em><em>).</em>

Now, let us look at a cross between the two parents;

  Ss   x   ss

Progeny: Ss, Ss, ss, ss.

Phenotypically, 50% of the progeny are smooth peas while 50% are wrinkled.

Looking at the population of each of the phenotype resulting from the cross. 252:247 is approximately a 50:50 ratio.

Hence, the genotypes of the two parents are Ss and ss.
