What was the purpose of mendel’s experiments with dihybrid crosses

Biology

Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago

Answer:

To calculate the probability

Explanation:

Mendel made lots of experiments to observe how the traits pass from one generation to the next one.

When he understood how with a single trait the genes pass from one generation to another, he would like to search how will be the behavior of the genes but now in pairs. To his surprise, he discover that they follow a pattern. It is still lucky how is going to be the next generation, but at least is known the highest probability.

Answer:

mendel was experimenting on genetics.

Explanation:

when he was experimenting on dihybrid crosses, he was seeing if both genes would be passed along, or a mix of both.

Many researchers think that the first eukaryotic cells obtained energy for life-sustaining functions from organic compounds. Giv
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

b. chloroplast

Explanation:

Chloroplasts are the double membrane-bound organelles that serve as the site for photosynthesis in eukaryotes. Chloroplasts are the organelles where eukaryotic autotrophs synthesize the organic nutrients by the process of photosynthesis. According to the given information, the first eukaryotic cells were heterotrophs as they derived energy by available organic compounds. They did not synthesize the organic nutrients to use them as fuel. Chloroplasts are not present in heterotrophic organisms such as animals. Therefore, chloroplasts are most likely to have appeared last in the eukaryotic cells.

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a. Ed/eD

b. RF=0.12

Explanation:

The alleles for genes D/d and E/e are:

  • D_: only on neck spikes
  • dd: along back spikes
  • E_: long spikes
  • ee: short spikes

After testcrossing a double heterozygote (DdEe x ddee) there are 4 types of offspring, two of them much more abundant than the other two. The homozygous recessive parent can only produce <em>ed</em> gametes, so the phenotypes of the offspring depend on the gametes that the double heterozygous parent produced.

The offspring was:

  • Ed/ed 79
  • ed/ed 12
  • ED/ed 10
  • eD/ed 76

Total: 177

a) This result suggests that the genes are linked. Since recombination is a rare event, the most abundant phenotypes always come from the parental gametes, and the least abundant come from the recombinant gametes.

<u>Therefore, the genotype of the doube heterozygote parent was </u><u><em>Ed/eD</em></u><u>.</u>

b) Recombination frequency (RF) = Recombinants / Total

  RF = (12+10)/177

  <u>RF = 0.12</u>

Brothers, Patrick and Michael, do not look very much alike. Patrick has green eyes and blond, curly hair like his mother. Michae
umka21 [38]

The correct answer is A. Phenotypes

Explanation:

In genetics, the observable traits of an organism that includes behavior, physical traits, biochemical properties, etc. are known as phenotypes. These traits depend on both the genes of the organism (genotype) and the influence of the environment. Due to this, organisms of the same species with a similar genotype can display different phenotypes. This occurs in the case of Patrick and Michael as their observable traits or phenotype is different despite they are brothers. Thus, the observable characteristics are the phenotypes of an organism.
