You find a Saskatoon bush growing wild that has large, sweet berries. What could you do to produce more bushes that have exactly

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Selective breeding.

Explanation:

Selective breeding method is used in order to produce more bushes that have the same kind of berries. In this method, Saskatoon bush which is a wild bush can be crossed with another bush belongs to the same family so the new seeds produced having the characteristics of Saskatoon bush and is able to produce large and sweet berries just like berries of Saskatoon bush.

If two genes are found on different chromosomes, or if they are far enough apart on the same chromosome that the chance of a cro

Complete question:

A wild-type tomato plant (Plant 1) is homozygous dominant for three traits: solid leaves (MM), normal height (DD), and smooth skin (PP).

Another tomato plant (Plant 2) is homozygous recessive for the same three traits: mottled leaves (mm), dwarf height(dd), and peach skin (pp).

In a cross between these two plants (MMDDPP x mmddpp), all offspring in the F1 generation are wild type and heterozygous for all three traits(MmDdPp).

Now suppose you perform a testcross on one of the F1plants (MmDdPp x mmddpp). The F2 generation can include plants with these eight possible phenotypes:

solid, normal, smooth

solid, normal, peach

solid, dwarf, smooth

solid, dwarf, peach

mottled, normal, smooth

mottled, normal, peach

mottled, dwarf, smooth

mottled, dwarf, peach

Assuming that the three genes undergo independent assortment, predict the phenotypic ratio of the offspring in the F2 generation.

Answer and Explanation:

Cross 1:

Parental) MMDDPP x mmddpp

F1) MmDdPp

Cross 2: Testcross

Parental) MmDdPp x mmddpp

Gametes) MDP MdP MDp Mdp mDP mdP mDp mdp

mdp mdp mdp mdp mdp mdp mdp mdp

Punnet Square)

mdp

MDP MmDdPp

MdP MmddPp

MDp MmDdpp

Mdp Mmddpp

mDP mmDdPp

mdP mmddPp

mDp mmDdpp

mdp mmddpp

F2) 8/64 = 1/8 MmDdPp, solid leaves, normal height, smooth skin

8/64 = 1/8 MmddPp, solid leaves, dwarf height, smooth skin

8/64 = 1/8 MmDdpp, solid leaves, normal height, peach skin

8/64 = 1/8 Mmddpp, solid leaves, dwarf height, peach skin

8/64 = 1/8 mmDdPp, mottled leaves, normal height, smooth skin

8/64 = 1/8 mmddPp, mottled leaves, dwarf height, smooth skin

8/64 = 1/8 mmDdpp, mottled leaves, normal height, peach skin

8/64 = 1/8 mmddpp, mottled leaves, dwarf height, peach skin

Another way of predicting the phenotypic ratio of the offspring in the F2 generation is by performing a testcross for each gene by separately and then multiplying their genotypic proportions. This is:

Leaves Gene

Parental) Mm x mm

Gamtes) M m m m

Punnet Square) M m

m Mm mm

F2) 1/2 Mm

1/2 mm

High Gene

Parental) Dd x dd

Gamtes) D d d d

Punnet Square) D d

d Dd dd

F2) 1/2 Dd

1/2 dd

Skin Gene

Parental) Pp x pp

Gamtes) P p p p

Punnet Square) P p

p Pp pp

F2) 1/2 Pp

1/2 pp

To get the phenotypic ratio of the offspring we multiply the genotypic proportion for each trait by the genotypic proportions of the other two traits, like this:

For plants with solid leaves, normal height, smooth skin

solid leaves ratio -> 1/2

normal height ratio -> 1/2

smooth skin ratio -> 1/2

MmDdPp ratio: 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

For plants with solid leaves, dwarf height, smooth skin

MmddPp ratio: 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

For plants with solid leaves, normal height, peach skin

MmDdpp ratio: 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

For plants with solid leaves, dwarf height, peach skin

Mmddpp ratio: 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

For plants with mottled leaves, normal height, smooth skin

mmDdPp ratio: 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

For plants with mottled leaves, dwarf height, smooth skin

mmddPp ratio: 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

For plants with mottled leaves, normal height, peach skin

mmDdpp ratio: 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

For plants with mottled leaves, dwarf height, peach skin

mmddpp ratio: 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

Describe how an invasive species can be introduced into an ecosystem by humans. Name a specific situation and species and how it

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Invasive species are animals or plants from another region of the world that don’t belong in their new environment. They can be introduced to an area by ship ballast water, accidental release, and most often, by people. Invasive species can lead to the extinction of native plants and animals, destroy biodiversity, and permanently alter habitats.
