In garden peas, long stems are dominant to short stems, and yellow seeds are dominants to green seeds, too long/yellow pea plant

s, all of which had one short/green parent, are interbred (bred to each other). 1600 progeny result. Please answer the following questions about the progeny.
A. Assuming that these two genes are unlike, about how many long/green pea plants would you except to find among the offspring?
B. What ratio of yellow to green seed color would you expect among the offspring?
C. What would you expect the overall phenotypic ratio among the 1600 offspring to be (taking into consideration both traits)?

Answer:

A) 300

B) 3:1

C) 9 long yellow : 3 long green : 3 short yellow : 1 short green

Explanation:

Long stems (L_) are dominant to short stems (ll)

Yellow seeds (Y_) are dominant to green seeds (yy)

We interbred pea plants with long stems and yellow seeds (L_Y_), but they had a short green parent (llyy) that could have only produced <em>ly</em> gametes, so our plants are heterozygous <em>LlYy</em>.

C) We interbred them LlYy x LlYy. If the two genes are unlinked, this is a typical dihybrid cross and from Mendel's law of independent assortment we know that the offspring will have the following phenotypic ratios:

  • 9/16 L_Y_ (Long, yellow)
  • 3/16 L_yy (Long, green)
  • 3/16 llY_ (short, yellow)
  • 1/16 llyy (short, green)

A) 3/16 × 1600 = 300 plants will be long and green.

B)

9/16 + 3/16 = 12/16= 3/4 plants will be yellow;

3/16 + 1/16 = 4/16= 1/4 plants will be green.

The ratio will be 3 yellow : 1 green

Volcanic eruptions and emissions from vegetation are the natural causes of which phenomenon
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: Acid rain

The volcanic eruption is a natural phenomena that results in the liberation of the lava from the heap of the earth along with the gases. The volcanic eruption causes major damages to the vegetation lying above the erupted crater of the volcano. This results in the immense release of gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, methane and ammonia all these gases are major pollutants of the air. These gases reacts with water vapor in the atmosphere and condense in the form of acid rain.
