<u>Answer:</u>
A mating of two people of medium height (where three genes control height): AaBbCc x AaBbCc produce <u>Seven</u> distinct phenotypes determined by the number of genes inherited.
Option: (D)
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Traits are the characters that we observe. When the parents AaBbCc and AaBbCc are crossed then AABBCC and aabbcc are two different dominant and recessive genomes seen in the offspring.
- Offspring with AABBCC will be height whereas aabbcc will be dwarf. There will be offspring with different heights depending upon the dominant and recessive gene present in them.
- Another genome produced are AABBCc/AaBBCC/AABbCC, next will have four dominant and 2 recessive, next will have 3 dominant and 3 recessive AaBbCc, next will have 2 dominant and 4 recessive, one dominant and five recessive. All together offspring produced will be 64
Answer:
A blood donor is a person who donates blood and a blood recipient is a person who receives donated blood.
Explanation:
Answer:
B) 0.25
Explanation:
In the given individual, the genotype is aaBbCc. This indicates that the individual has two pairs of contrasting alleles. Thus it will produce four different types of gametes, abc, aBC, aBc and abC will be formed. Out of 4 types of gametes only one gamete namely, aBC is with two beneficial alleles. Thus, the proportion of two or more beneficial alleles is 0.25 (1 out of 4).
Answer:
C: If crossed with another heterozygous plant, the majority of progeny will have the dominant flower color.
Explanation:
Assuming the gene is represented an allele A, purple colour can be AA or Aa while white colour will be aa.
If a heterozygous plant Aa is crossed with another heterozygous Aa, the genotype of the progeny will be AA, Aa, Aa and aa.
Since allele A is dominant over a, it thus means that the phenotype of the progeny will be 3 purple and 1 white flowered plant.
<em>Hence, the majority of the progeny will have the dominant (75%) flower colour.</em>
The correct option is C.
