Suppose that seed size in a particular plant species is a polygenic trait. A grower crosses two different pure-breeding varietie

s of the plant, and measures seed size in the F1 progeny. She then backcrosses the F1 plants to one of the parental varieties and measures seed size in the backcross progeny. The grower finds that seed size in the backcross progeny has a higher variance than seed size in the F1 progeny. What is the most likely explanation for the higher seed size variability in the backcross progeny?

Answer:

The size of a seed in a specific plant is transmitted as a polygenic trait. When crossing between two true-breeding varieties takes place, the heterozygous individuals are obtained in the F1 generation. When these F1 offspring are backcrossed with one of the parents, there will be an increase in the variance. This is due to the fact that the backcross progeny are not uniformly heterozygous at the seed size loci.

Cellular processes are carried out by many different types of molecules, mostly proteins. The function of each protein molecule
erastova [34]
The function of each protein molecule depends on its shape, which in turn is determined by the protein specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS.
Proteins are a type of macro molecules that are made from amino acids, each protein is a long chain of different amino acids. There are twenty different amino acids in existence. Protein carry out several crucial functions in the cells of living organisms. The specific functions which a protein carries out is determined by its shape and the three dimensional structure of the protein. The shape of the protein depend on the type of amino acids that made up the protein. <span />
