Team of scientists is studying several plant species that they think could become new farm crops. The scientists want to apply s

elective breeding to develop one of the species into useful crop plants. Which property of a plant species would be MOST USEFUL for meeting the scientists' goal? A. very low genetic variation B. very high genetic variation C. producing only a few fruits and seeds each growing season

Answer:

B. very high genetic variation

Explanation:

Selective breeding is the process by which crops or animals with desired phenotypic traits are chosen to produce offspring, which will contain the desired qualities. In this case, a group of scientists is trying to apply the principles of selective breeding to develop a particular crop plant.

This goal of producing a useful crop plant by the scientists can only be achieved when the plant species in question possess a HIGH GENETIC VARIATION i.e. difference in genetic constitution of individuals of the same species. This allows the individuals in the population to survive better.

How would you know if your results from experiment 2 show that the traits were inherited through mendelian genetics?
Karolina [17]
Genes they assort independently if they follow the 9: 3: 3: 1 rule resulting from a dihybrid cross.
It shows that the genes are not on the same chromosome and they are not included.

How can mutations be helpful? Give 2 examples
RSB [31]
Having two copies of the mutated genes cause sickle cell anemia, but having just one copy does not, and can actually protect against malaria - an example of how mutations are sometimes beneficial. 

The majority of mutations have neither negative nor positive effects on the organism in which they occur. These mutations are called neutral mutations. Examples include silent point mutations. They are neutral because they do not change the amino acids in the proteins they encode.

Hope this helped :)

Alleles of the gene that determines seed coat patterns in lentils can be organized in dominance series: marbled > spotted = d
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

a.The phenotypic proportions obtained after having the genotypes are 50% marbled seeds, 25% spotted and dotted seeds since they are codominant, 25% spotted seeds.

b. Taking into account the F1 genotypes in the previous point, the expected phenotypes for the first crossing are 100% marbled seeds and for the second crossing 100% dotted seeds.

Explanation:

Let's suppose:

Marbled allele: M

Spotted allele: S

Dotted allele: D

Allele for Clear: C

a. Because both crosses were between homozygous parents, the entire F1 genotype is the same.

For the first crossing the descendants have the MS genotype, and for the second crossing the descendants have the DC genotype. It is enough to make a Punnett square to obtain the different combinations of genotypes between the crossing of MS and DC.
