A cross between a plant with red flowers (R = dominant) and a plant with white flowers (r = recessive) yielded 47 plants with re

d flowers and 51 plants with white flowers. What are the genotypes of the parent plants? Explain.
A. The results are close to a 1:1 ratio of plants with red flowers to plants with white flowers. Therefore, the genotypes of the parents are Rr and rr.
B. The results should yield plants with red flowers and plants with white flowers in a 3:1 ratio due, so the geneotype of each parent is Rr. The number of offspring was not large enough to produce the expected results.
C. The results differ from the predicted values. Therefore, the genotypes of the parents cannot be determined.
D. The results should show a ratio of 3 plants with white flowers to 1 plant with red flowers, so the genotypes of the parent plants are RR and rr.

Which traits separate fungi from plants?
andrew-mc [135]

We now know that they have unique physical, chemical, and genetic traits that set them apart from plants and other eukaryotes. For example, the cell walls of fungi are made of chitin, not cellulose. Also, fungi absorb nutrients from other organisms, whereas plants make their own food.

Populations of the grasshopper Vandiemenella viatica possess different chromosomal fusions and inversions. Grasshoppers that are
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The options

a. New combinations of genes yielding genotypes of greater fitness

b. Few heterozygotes because of underdominance

c. Frequency-dependent selection, leading to fluctuations in fitness

d. Heterozygotes with greater fitness, owing to overdominance

e. A random assortment of genotypes because of genetic drift

The CORRECT ANSWER IS b.

b. Few heterozygotes because of under dominance

Explanation:

In genetics, underdominance (at times called "negative overdominance") is the opposite of overdominance.

It is the selection against the heterozygote, that leads to disruptive selection and divergent genotypes. It occurs in cases of inferior and reduced fitness (As in our case study, it is the different chromosomal fusions and inversions)

of the heterozygotic genotype to the dominant or recessive homozygotic genotype. It is unstable as it causes fixation of either allele.

Another example is the African butterfly species Pseudacraea eurytus, which makes use of Batesian mimicry to avoid predation. This species carries two alleles that gives a coloration that is alike to a different local butterfly species that is harmful to its predator. The butterflies who are heterozygous for this trait are observed to be intermediate in coloration and thus encounter an higher risk of predation and a decrease in the total fitness.
