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

Multiple choice just double checking the answer would be D Correct?
Paladinen [302]

Explanation:

John Dalton proposed the theory of matter which is popularly known as the Dalton's atomic theory. In the atomic theory, Dalton identified from his experiments on gases that every matter is made up of small indivisible particles called atoms. These atoms are the smallest fractions of a matter.

  • All the atoms of an element are all alike.
  • Compounds form from atoms by simple whole number combinations alone.
  • Chemical combination of atoms involves the rearrangement of reactants.

Therefore, using these clues you should be able to answer the question.
