DNA is able to fit into a cell because of its shape. DNA is a double helix that can bend and twist in all sorts of directions. An easier example to visualize is a spaghetti noodle in a bowl. Stretched out straight, it wouldn’t fit in the bowl, but once coiled or twisted up, it would conform to the shape of sand bowl. Well, DNA can coil up just like a noodle can, which gives it the ability to become compact enough to fit into the nucleus of a cell. The way DNA molecules can all fit into the cell is because they coil around histone proteins, which once in a tight enough coil, become nucleosomes which can stack to then become chromatin. That is how about 6 feet of DNA can be squeezed into a microscopic cell.

Gregor Mendel crossed true-breeding plants with green pea pods with true-breeding plants with yellow pea pods. The resulting F1
Alchen [17]

Answer:

A. Mendel observed green and yellow pea pods in a 3:1 ratio because the F1 generation was heterozygous.

Explanation:

The two true breeding plants in the parental population were homozygous (that is what true breeding means). Therefore, their cross would lead to all heterozygous offspring (see attached punnet square). Green is the dominant characteristic, so all F1 plants had a green phenotype, but Gg genotype.

The F1 cross would therefore be Gg x Gg. See attached punnet square.

The genotypes in the F2 generation are 1 GG: 2 Gg: 1 gg 1

Therefore, the phenotypic ratio is 3 green pea pods (Gg or GG): 1 yellow (gg)
