Answer:
The genotype of both parents is RrYy.
The possible types of gametes would be RY, Ry, rY, and ry.
The cross would produce offspring that can have one out of four types of phenotypes:
- Round and yellow seeds (1 RRYY+ 2 RrYY +2 RRYy + 4 RrYy) = 9/16
- Wrinkled and yellow seeds (3 rrYy) = 3/16
- Round and green seeds (1 RRyy + 2 Rryy) = 3/16
- Wrinkled and green seeds (rryy) = 1/16
Thus, one out of 16 offspring would have wrinkled and green seeds.
The First 20 Elements and The Difference Between Elements, Compounds and Mixtures. Standard. 1 – H – Hydrogen – Odorless, Colorless and Flammable Gas. 2 – He – Helium – Colorless and Odorless. 3 – Li – Lithium – Low Melting Point and Low Density. 4 – Be – Beryllium – High Thermal Conductivity and Non Magnetic.
Atoms gain electrons to form anions.
Atoms lose electrons to form cations.
Back in middle school, my chemistry teacher taught me a good way to remember whether an ion was a cation or an anion. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positive, and when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negative.
Cation sort of sounds like “cat,” which is positive (Yay! Cats!).
Anions, on the other hand, sounds like “onion,” which is negative (Ew! Onions!).
There’s other ways of memorizing it, but this way was the easiest for me.
