Let Y = yellow and y = green, and R = round and r = wrinkled. You cross YYRR peas with yyrr peas. All of the F1 individuals are

yellow and round with a genotype of YyRr. You then perform an F2 cross and get the expected 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio. What proportion of the F2 plants are expected to be heterozygous for both traits?

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

Given that the F2 cross produces offspring according to the expected 9:3:3:1 ratio.

YyRr X YyRr:

Let us break the dihybrid cross into individual monohybrid crosses.

Yy X Yy :

    Y     y

Y  YY  Yy

y   Yy   yy

2/4 or 1/2 of the offspring are heterozygous for the trait.

Similarly, in Rr X Rr cross, 1/2 of the offspring are heterozygous for the trait.

Together, 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 of F2 plants are expected to be heterozygous for both traits.

This question is incomplete. However, the answer to this question is Continental Drift. Approximately 300 million years ago, there were not separate continents, only one giant super continent that we call Pangaea. Over time, scientists realised that the Earth's outer shell slides over the inner mantle through plate tectonics. Around 200 million years ago, Pangaea began to break up through the process of continental drift. Gondwana, incorporating present-day <span>Africa, South America, Antarctica, India and Australia, split from Laurasia (Eurasia and North America). Approximately 150 million years ago, Gondwana started to break up into the present day continents</span>

Alina [70]
<span>Body fat directly influences total body water. The influence of age, gender and fitness is also relative. Women and older persons tend to be lower on total boy water because they have lower fat free masses. Athletes tend to have higher total body water, therefore a younger athletic male would have the highest.</span>

Why would chemical weathering affect the kinds of minerals in soil as the soil is formed??
Vilka [71]
Process by which the internal structure of a mineral is altered by the addition or removal of elements. Change in phase (mineral type) and composition are due to the action of chemical agents. Chemical weathering is dependent on available surface for reaction temperature and presence of chemically active fluids.
