"Plants from two pure lines", one with purple flowers (P/P) and the other with white flowers (p/p), are crossed. The resulting F
1 generation has only purple flowers. When these F1 plants are selfed, what is the ratio of flower color genotypes in the progeny?
1 answer:
Answer:
3/4 purple : 1/4 white
Explanation:
The pure breeding parent plants have genotype PP and pp. The plant with the "PP" genotype will make all the gametes with the "P" allele while the plant with "pp" genotype will make all the gametes with the "p" allele. The random fusion of these gametes produces F1 progeny with the "Pp" genotype and purple phenotype. A cross between two F1 plants (Pp x Pp) produce progeny in the following phenotype ratio=
Pp x Pp = 3/4 purple : 1/4 white

Explanation:
The structure of an amino acid allows it to act as both an acid and a base. An amino acid has this ability because at a certain value (different for each amino acid) nearly all the amino acid molecules exist as zwitter-ions. If acid is added to a solution containing the zwitter-ion, the carboxylate group captures a hydrogen (
) ion, and the amino acid becomes positively charged. If base is added, ion removal of the
ion from the amino group of the zwitter-ion produces a negatively charged amino acid. In both circumstances, the amino acid acts to maintain the pH of the system—that is, to remove the added acid
or base
from solution.
