The horticulturalist plans to cross a geranium that is true-breeding for red flowers with a geranium that is true breeding for w

hite flowers. Which Punnett square best describes this cross

Answer:

Since both plants are true breeding, it means that both are homozygous for the allele of the trait, that is flower color. The geranium plant with red flowers can be denoted as RR and the plant with white flowers can be denoted by WW. Since it is not mentioned in the question that which trait is dominant over  the other, but one thing is sure that all the offspring will look alike in color, because their genotype will be same, RW.

The punnet square that best describes them is in attached figure, please see.

Hope it helps!

Why does DNA replication have to occur before cell division? Explain what would happen if it did not occur
SCORPION-xisa [38]

DNA replication needs to occur because existing cells divide to produce new cells. Each cell needs a full instruction manual to operate properly. So the DNA needs to be copied before cell division so that each new cell receives a full set of instructions!

A population of 150 individuals has an allele frequency of 0.2 for the dominant allele (H) and a frequency of 0.8 for the recess
Amanda [17]
Hardy-Weinberg Equation (HW) states that following certain biological tenets or requirements, the total frequency of all homozygous dominant alleles (p) and the total frequency of all homozygous recessive alleles (q) for a gene, account for the total # of alleles for that gene in that HW population, which is 100% or 1.00 as a decimel. So in short: p + q = 1, and additionally (p+q)^2 = 1^2, or 1
So (p+q)(p+q) algebraically works out to p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1, where p^2 = genotype frequency of homozygous dominant individuals, 2pq = genotype frequency of heterozygous individuals, and q^2 = genotype frequency of homozygous recessive individuals.
The problem states that Ptotal = 150 individuals, H frequency (p) = 0.2, and h frequency (q) = 0.8.
So homozygous dominant individuals (HH) = p^2 = (0.2)^2 = 0.04 or 4% of 150 --> 6 people
Heterozygous individuals (Hh) = 2pq = 2(0.2)(0.8) = 0.32 or 32% of 150
--> 48 people
And homozygous recessive individuals (hh) = q^2 = (0.8)^2 = 0.64 = 64% of 150 --> 96 people
Hope that helps you to understand how to solve these types of population genetics problems!
