Purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. A heterozygous purple flower is crossed with a white flower. What are the probabil

Answer:

50% probability of Pp (purple) or pp (white) genotype.

Explanation:

P = purple gene

p = white gene

Punnet squares show the possible genotypes and probabilities of each genotype in the offspring of a cross:

Purple flower genotype (heterozygous) = Pp

White flower genotype = pp

Punnet Square:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}&P&p\\p&Pp&pp\\p&Pp&pp\end{array}\right]

Potential genotypes for offspring are Pp and pp;

According to the Punnett square, 2 of 4 offspring will have the Pp genotype and the other 2 will have pp genotypes;

This means 2 should be purple and 2 white;

Or, there is a 50% chance of having either genotype, of being purple or white.

Let us assume the following:

  • Flower color is represented by the allele A.
  • Hence, the dominant purple color would be A, while the alternate white color would be represented by a.

From the above assumptions, a heterozygous purple flower would have the genotype Aa, while a white flower would have the genotype aa.

Now, crossing the two flowers:

       Aa    x    aa

   Aa   Aa   aa   aa

From the results of the cross, the offspring's genotypes, phenotypes, and their respective probabilities would be as follows:

  • Aa - purple color - 1/2
  • aa - white flower color - 1/2

In order words, the cross will yield offspring with purple color flower (genotype, Aa) and white flower color (genotype, aa) each with 1/2 probability.

What is the function of the water monitor lizards claws
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Claws. These strong, curved claws can tear flesh and inflict fearsome wounds. Water Monitors eat only meat and sometimes tackle prey nearly their own size. Claws may allow the Arboreal taxa to physically separate themselves from the larger monitors of the savannah by living in trees, eliminating them as competition and potential predators.

Explain how scientific theories differ from scientific laws.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
<h2><em>In general, a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon. It doesn't explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it. The explanation of a phenomenon is called a scientific theory. It is a misconception that theories turn into laws with enough research</em></h2>
