Please help me!! what is the probability that a yellow (Y) and wrinkled (r) pea will appear from a cross of RrYy x RrYy?
1 answer:
Answer:
3/16
Explanation:
This question involves two genes coding for pea shape and pea color. The alleles for yellow color (Y) and round seeds (R) are dominant over the alleles for green color (y) and wrinkled seeds (r).
In this cross between two heterozygotes: RrYy × RrYy, the following allele combinations are produced in the gamete of each parent: RY, Ry, rY and ry. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following offsprings are produced:
9/16 of Round, yellow offsprings (R_Y_)
3/16 of Round, green offsprings (R_yy)
3/16 of Wrinkled, yellow offsprings (rrY_)
1/16 of wrinkled, yellow offsprings (rryy)
Hence, the probability that a yellow (Y) and wrinkled (r) pea will appear from a cross of RrYy x RrYy is 3/16.

The classifications of the carbon as primary secondary tertiary and quaternary depends on the number of the carbon atoms attached to a carbon. In case, the carbon is attached to a single carbon, then it is referred as primary carbon. If the carbon is attached to two carbons, then it is referred as the secondary carbon, if the carbon is attached to three carbons then it is referred as tertiary, and if the carbon forms all the bond with another carbon atom then it is referred as quatenary carbon.
The given below is the picture showing the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quarternary carbons in 4-isopropyl-2,4,5-trimethylheptane:
