The most likely consequence of the widespread lack of bees is loss or reduction of food. Majority of food depends on pollination and bees are major pollinators in the ecosystem, playing an essential role in food production among different type of plants. Bee’s declining population is mostly associated to excessive use of pesticides or toxicants in industrial agriculture as well as presence of different parasites or pathogens and even climate change.
Homozygous recessive means that both plants will have ss alleles so all of their offspring will be ss
Answer:
The correct answer is explained below:
Explanation:
- According to the question, heterozygous tall, heterozygous axillary plant has the following genotype, TtAa.
- It produces the following gametes: TA, Ta, tA, ta.
- The heterozygous tall, terminal plant has the following genotype: Ttaa
- It produces the following gametes: Ta, ta.
- Crossing them,
TA Ta tA ta
Ta TTAa TTaa TtAa Ttaa
(Tall, Axillary) (Tall, Terminal) (Tall, Axillary) (Tall, Terminal)
ta TtAa Ttaa ttAa ttaa
(Tall, Axillary) (Tall, Terminal) (Short, Axillary) (Short, Terminal)
- The genotypes of the offspring obtained are: TTAa, TTaa, TtAa, Ttaa, ttAa and ttaa respectively.
- The phenotypes obtained are:
- Tall, Axillary = 3.
- Tall, Terminal = 3.
- Short, Axillary = 1.
- Short, Terminal = 1.
