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:

<u>Cross 1:</u>

Parental) MMDDPP  x  mmddpp

F1) MmDdPp

<u>Cross 2</u>: <em>Testcross</em>

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:

<u><em>Leaves Gene</em></u>

Parental) Mm  x  mm

Gamtes) M  m    m   m

Punnet Square)        M     m

                       m    Mm   mm

                       m    Mm   mm

F2) 1/2 Mm

      1/2 mm

<u><em>High Gene</em></u>

Parental) Dd  x  dd

Gamtes) D  d    d   d

Punnet Square)       D     d

                       d     Dd    dd

                       d     Dd    dd

F2) 1/2 Dd

      1/2 dd

<u><em>Skin Gene </em></u>

Parental) Pp  x  pp

Gamtes) P   p   p   p

Punnet Square)       P    p

                          p   Pp   pp

                          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

Why is the air temperature in the rain forest of Peru so warm?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Because Peru is located between the equator and Tropic of Capricorn. Since it is in the tropics, one might expect Peru to be a country of extreme heat  and heavy vegetation.
