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

Match the vocabulary with the correct description.
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Axis - B

Rotation - E

Revolution - D

Latitude - A

Gravity - C

Explanation:

The axis is the line that a body spins on. The axis will line up with the north and south poles. For Earth, the axis is tilted, which is why seasons exist.

The definition of rotation is "the action of rotating around an axis or center." So, rotation is the spinning of a body on its axis. On Earth, one rotation is equal to one day.

Revolutions are when a body spins around another. For Earth, one revolution around the sun is one year

Latitudes are invisible lines that separate the world into degrees from North to South. They are also called parallels.

Gravity is the force that keeps things together. Large masses have gravity that attract other masses.

What is the end result of mitosis and meiosis?a.Mitosis and meiosis result daughter cells for growth, development and reproducti
Kay [80]

Answer:

<h2>Mitosis and meiosis are the ways of cell division which result daughter cells for growth, development and reproduction. </h2>

Explanation:

Mitosis and meiosis result daughter cells for growth, development and reproduction in the living world.

Mitosis results two similar daughter cells which are generally for growth and development. In asexual mode of reproduction, mitosis helps in increasing the number of cells.

Meiosis occurs in germ cells, and in meiosis, one diploid cell produce four haploid cells.

Meiosis results variations by independent assortment and by crossing over and it helps the sexual mode of reproduction. During fertilization, the resultant daughter haploid cells unite and retains the diploid number of chromosomes.
