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.

Coal is made from the remains of dead plants. It is made of carbon and other elements. Is coal a mineral?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Yes, because is contains carbon

Explanation:

Coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements; chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. Coal is formed when dead plant matter decays into peat and is converted into coal by the heat and pressure of deep burial over millions of years.
