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

Answer:

a. bottleneck effect.

Explanation:

A bottleneck effect occurs when some adverse environmental conditions such as typhoons and famine reduce the population size considerably. The allele frequencies of the population are changed. As the population grows again, the gene pool has different allele frequencies than the original population. During population growth, some harmful alleles may become more abundant resulting in a rare disease such as achromatopsia. Therefore, the given population represents the bottleneck effect.
