A researcher is curious if Bt resistant bollworms are susceptible to an insecticide called DDT. Bollworms susceptible to Bt have

genotype RR or Rr, whereas those resistant to Bt have genotype rr. Bollworms susceptible to DDT have genotype tt, whereas bollworms resistant to DDT have genotypes Tt or TT. In an effort to better understand how these two genes are inherited, the researcher crosses an RR tt bollworm with an rr TT bollworm to produce the F1 generation. Then, the researcher crosses the F1 generation to produce an F2 generation. What proportion of the F2 generation is resistant to both Bt and DDT

Answer:

The correct answer is - 3/16 or 18.75% portion will be resistant to both Bt and DDT.

Explanation:

It is given that bollworms that are susceptible to Bt are represented by either RR or Rr and resistance one are shown by rr genotype and bollworms that are resistant to DDT are represent TT or Tt genotype and susceptible to DDT have tt genotype.

Cross: RR tt with rr TT

Gametes: Rt and rT

F1 cross:

    RT

rT  RrTt ( susceptible Bt and resistant DDT)

F1 Cross with F1

Gametes: RT, Rt, rT and rt

cross:

             RT      Rt        rT         rt

RT       RRTT   RRTt   RrTT    RrTt

Rt        RRTt    RRtt    RrTt      RrTt

rT       RrTT    RrTt     rrTt       rrTt

rt       RrTt      Rrtt     rrTt      rrtt

The bold genotypes are the three out of 16 that are resistant to both DDT and Bt.

What would you expect to be the final plant height for a plant grown in eight hours of light?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Insufficient information to generate conclusion

Explanation:

It is really difficult to answer this question based on provided data. Rather speculations can be made. This is because of several reasons. The height of plant varies for different plant species. Likewise, it is really difficult for any plant species to the height of 5 inches (the lowest given option) within period of 8 hours only. It needs 8 hours light for several days to reach this much of height even for studied model plants such as arabidopsis. Thereon, each plant species would need different number of days.

On the other hand, it is important to consider that sunlight is a vital parameter for plant cells to elongate and multiply. This is because of the fact that plant use sunlight to fix carbon dioxide into the carbohydrates which is used in many cellular processes including cell division and growth. However, metabolic machinery in different plants works at different rates. Based on these reasons, it is super difficult to pick one option out of the given information to answer this question. Hope this helps.
