A genetics student is studying a plant that seems to have two Mendelian traits, flower color (red is dominant, and yellow is rec

essive) and seed color (brown is dominant, and green is recessive).
Use the Table button to create a Punnet square. Your Punnet square should show the possible offspring from one parent that is homologous recessive for both traits and the other parent that is heterogeneous for both traits. For flower color, use F and f, and for seed color, use S and s.

Then, based on the Punnet square you made, answer this question: What are the chances that the offspring will have the red flower, green seed phenotype? Show your work.

Answer:

Here is the plato answer !!!

   FS         fs       Fs       fS

fs FfSs    ffss     Ffss     ffSs

fs  FfSs    ffss     Ffss     ffSs

fs  FfSs    ffss     Ffss     ffSs

fs  FfSs    ffss     Ffss     ffSs

According to the Punnett square, 4/16       plants will have red flowers and green seeds.

So, (4 ÷16) × 100 = 25% chance of obtaining offspring with red flower and green seed.

Explanation: It's 100% right.

A genetically heterogeneous population of rice has a mean in the number of days to maturation of 30. Selection for decreased per
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

h² = 0.6

Explanation:

Before answering the question, we need to know a few concepts.

<u>Artificial selection</u> is the selecting practice of a specific group of organisms in a population -that carry the traits of interest- to be the parents of the following generations.

Parental individuals carrying phenotypic values of interest are selected from the whole population. These parents interbreed, and a new generation is produced.

<u>The selection differential, SD,</u> is the difference between the mean value of the trait in the population (X₀) and the mean value of the parents, (Xs). So,  

SD = X₀ - Xs

<u>Heritability in the strict sense, h²</u>, is the genetic component measure to which additive genetic variance contributes. The heritability might be used to determine how the population will respond to the selection done, R.  

h² = R/SD

The <u>response to selection (R) </u>refers to the metric value gained from the cross between the selected parents. R can be calculated by multiplying the heritability h², with the selection differential, SD.  

R = h²SD  

R also equals the difference between the new generation phenotypic value (X₁) and the original population phenotypic value (X₀),  

R = X₀ - X₁

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that we know these concepts and how to calculate them, we can solve the proposed problem.

Available data:  

  • You are selecting rice´s decreased period of maturation.
  • The population of rice has a mean maturation time of 30 days → X₀
  • Parental selected average period to maturation is 25 days → Xs
  • F1 plants mature on average in 27 days → X₁
  • N arrow sense Heritability → h²

According to what we sow previously, we need to find out the value of h².

We know that h² = R/SD, so we need to get R and SD first.  

R = X₁ - X₀

R = 27 - 30

R = -3

SD = Xs -  X₀  

SD = 25 - 30

SD = -5

Knowing this, we can calculate h²

h² = R/SD

h² = -3/-5  

h² = 0.6
