Answer: 50% will be purple
There’s a 50% chance the genes will be heter*zygous (Pp, purple flower) and 50% chance they will be hom*zygous recessive (pp, white flower)

A mushroom is a type of fungus. Other examples are yeasts and molds.
Answer:
Let:
Y = Yellow R = Round
y = green r = Wrinkled
If you look at the F1 generation, all the plants are round and yellow, so these are the dominant traits and each offspring is heterozygous for both traits. The cross for the F2 generation would then be:
<em>YyRr x YyRr</em>
In a Punnett it would look like the attached picture.
For the forked-line diagram, first you will need to know the gentypes and ratio of each trait in a monohybrid cross. Select one trait, and then branch each gentype to the next trait, linking it with each possible genotype combination of the monohybrid cross.
Attached is a picture of the Forked Branch diagram for this cross.
The finches on the Galapagos Islands are a good example of adaptation because they all trace their ancestry into a small group of finches that inhabited these islands, but diversified in accordance to the environment. On the Galapagos Islands, there are finches that have numerous types of different beak shapes and sizes, despite them all being derived from a single group of finches that had the same characteristics. The reason for this is that once they got to these islands, there were multiple niches int the food chain that were free for taking. Some finches started to feed on plants, some on seeds, some became insect-eaters etc. Every food type needs special adaptation so that the finches can eat it more easily, or even be able to get to its nutritional part, thus their beaks started to change in accordance to their food preference.
