A strain of a cereal grain can be either dark tan, medium-dark tan, medium tan, light tan, or cream colored. When a dark tan and

a cream plant are crossed, all F1 are medium tan. The F2 are distributed in a ratio of 1:4:6:4:1 from darkest to lightest. How many genes are involved in this coloration?

Answer:

The correct answer is - 2 genes.

Explanation:

The number of genes involved in the coloration of the strain of cereal grain, could be either dark tan, medium-dark tan, medium tan, light tan, or cream-colored if all F1 are medium tan when crossed a dark tan crossed with cream-colored, can be calculated as follow:

suppose there are only two gene - TT dominant over tt and CC dominant over cc

then the cross would be - RRCC - rrcc

gametes - RC and rc

Cross F1: RrCc

Self cross in F2:

offspring by Punnet cross are:

RRCC  -->1/16  

RRCc,  RrCC .---> 4/16

RrCc, RRcc, rrCC--->6/16

rrCc, Rrcc--->4/16

rrcc ----> 1/16

thus, the correct answer is 2 genes

If granite is subjected to high temperatures and high pressures deep within Earth, but does not melt, what type of rock will be
kodGreya [7K]
The type of rock that will be formed is METAMORPHIC ROCK.
Metamorphic rocks are pre-existing rocks that are formed as a result of physical or chemical alteration by mean of heat and pressure. The process transform the rock into a denser, more compact rock. Examples of metamorphic rocks are marble, gneiss and schist. Metamorphic rocks can be formed from already existing igneous or sedimentary rock. <span />

It is 41 bases (or nucleotides) long. In this example, the flanking sequences consist of 9 bases (although in reality flanking r
BigorU [14]

Answer:

49

It says that there are eight four-base repeat unites that make up the remaining 32 bases. This means that it 8 x 4 = 32. Then from 32 + 9 = 41 is how you get all of the bases in the original. However, if there were to be 10 repeat units then it would be <u><em>10</em></u> x 4 = 40. Then from there you would get 40 + 9 = 49. Hope my explanation helped somewhat.

What are the phases in meiosis and explain
densk [106]

Cell division happens twice during meiosis. One starting cell can produce for gametes (eggs or sperm.) In each round of division, cells go through four phases called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

prophase During prophase the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear envelope disappears. This phase includes reduction division, which is where the number of chromosomes is decreased from 46 (diploid) to 23 (haploid.)

metaphase This is where the 23 remaining chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.

anaphase During this phase, the chromosomes move away from each other to one or the other pole of the spindle fiber.

telophase In which the chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed.

interphase This is a resting period.

How are hydrogen bonds related to polarity?
levacccp [35]
Polarity affects hydrogen bonding because hydrogen bonding occurs due to a bond being polar. One side of the bond will be slightly more negative because it's pulling more electrons towards itself and the other side of the bond will be more positive. Therefore the partially positive bond of one molecule will be attracted to the partially negative bond of another molecule. This is called an intermolecular force and hydrogen bonds are the strongest intermolecular force.
