In genetics, the dash symbol (-) is a "wild card" that stands for either the dominant allele or the recessive allele; for exampl

e, W- means the individual has either the genotype WW or Ww. In summer squash, genotypes W- G- and W- gg are white, ww G- are yellow, and ww gg are green. W and G show independent assortment. What is the ratio of white : yellow : green among progeny of the cross Ww Gg × Ww Gg?

Answer:

12 : 3 : 1

Explanation:

According to Mendel's principles, a dihybrid cross between two heterozygous summer squash parents (WwGg X WwGg) should yield offsprings, 12 with white, 3 with yellow and  1 with green color phenotype. The classic Mendelian phenotypic ratio for dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1. In this case, genotypes W- G- and W- gg produce white color phenotype. This is because we have 12: 3: 1 phenotypic ratio in which the alleles of two different genes assort independently into gametes.

<em>Dihybrid cross for heterozygous summer squash:</em>

                    WG         Wg            wG            wg          

    WG      WWGG   WWGg     WwGG     WwGg

    Wg       WWGg   WWgg     WwGg      Wwgg

    wG        WwGG    WwGg     wwGG      wwGg

      wg       WwGg    Wwgg     wwGg        wwgg

   Genotypes:

   W-G-  and W- gg  = white = 12

    ww G- = yellow = 3

     ww gg = green = 1

What is upwelling and why is it important to the marine ecosystem?
xxTIMURxx [149]
Upwelling is a process in which the deep and cold water rises to the water surface and not sea surface. This process plays an important role in maintaining balance in our ecosystem as it boost the marine productivity by washing the nutrients from deeper waters to the photic layer where photosynthesis is promoted.

topjm [15]

Answer:

C. Sprout every year, year after year

Explanation:

The perennial plants are the plants that live for more then two years, thous some may argue that they are plants that live more then three years. Whichever the case, they are not short-lived plants, but are capable of surviving for numerous years, unlike the annuals and biennials. Theoretically, the shrubs and trees would fall into this category, but they are classified separately, and this term is not used for them, but for smaller plants that do not have or have very little woody parts. These plants tend to sprout every year, and even though they seemingly die in the autumn, their roots are alive, and they emerge and grow again in the spring, sprouting again. That process repeats itself for numerous years.
