Answer:
Explanation:
Exons can be shuffled independently known as exon shuffling. It can be done in various ways, leading to infinite number of combinations to discover new and meaningful coding sequences hence various proteins. Due to exon shuffling, evolution need not occur only by the slow accumulation of point mutations but might also move ahead by “quantum leaps” with new proteins appearing in a single generation.
Answer:
7/16
Explanation:
<em>The proportion of the offspring from the cross that will have white flowers is 7/16.</em>
The presence of anthocyanin which determines purple coloration is conditioned by the C_ and P_ alleles. It means that the absence of one or both of C and P will result in white flowers.
Two plants, each with CcPp are crossed:
CcPp x CcPp
Offpring
1 CCPP - purple
2 CCPp - purple
2 CcPP - purple
4 CcPp - purple
2 Ccpp - white
1 CCpp - white
1 ccPP - white
2 ccPp - white
1 ccpp - white
Proportion of offspring with white flowers = 7/16
Proportion of offspring with purple flower = 9/16
<em>See the attached image for the Punnet's square analysis of the cross.</em>
