  1. Suppose that in corn plants, the allele for short stalks is dominant over tall stalks and the allele for white kernel color is dominant over purple kernel color. What would be the best way to determine the genotype of a corn plant with a short stalk and white kernels?

    Perform a test cross with a corn plant with a tall stalk and purple kernels.

    Perform a test cross with a corn plant with a short stalk and purple kernels.

    Perform a test cross with a heterozygous corn plant

  1. For the following statements (1-4) ,which would be descriptions associated with high survivorship species and which would be descriptions associated with low survivorship species?

    1. Expects a large percentage of its offspring to die before maturity.

    2. Invests small amount of resources in rearing offspring.

    3. Has relatively few offspring.

    4. Is usually long-lived.

    Low survivorship- 1 & 2

    High Survivorship- 3 & 4

    Low survivorship- 3 & 4

    High Survivorship- 1 & 2

    Low survivorship- 1 & 3

    High Survivorship- 2 & 4

    Low survivorship- 2 & 3

    High Survivorship- 1 & 4

Answer #1

best way to determine the genotype is to perform a test cross with homozygous recessive plant, a tall plant with purple kernel. if the test plant was homozygous dominant none of test cross progeny will express the recessisve trait and if it was heterozygous the recessisve allele will be expressed.

low survivorship -1 and 3

as it produces low offsprings and which die before reproducing

high survivorship- 2 and 4

longer life span and low investment of resources will produce more offspring which will give the species chance to survive

A species of plant is discovered in which individual plants produce either white or purple flowers. True breeding plants that have short stems with white flowers are crossed with true breeding plants that have tall stems and purple flowers. The resulting offspring all have tall stems with purple flowers. When one of these tall, purple-flowered offspring is crossed with a short, white-flowered plant, plants with the following characteristics were obtained in equal proportions. White flowers on tall stems Purple flowers...

In monkeyflower, an allele for yellow flowers (Y) is dominant over an allele for white flowers (y). At an independently assorting locus, an allele for entire petals (E) is dominant over an allele for fringed petals (e). A plant that is homozygous for yellow and entire petals is crossed with a plant that is white and fringed. A resulting F1 plant is then crossed with a plant that is white and fringed, and the following progeny are produced: 20 yellow...

1) One parent has yellow flowers, which is the dominant allele Y. The second parent has white flowers, the recessive allele y. If the offspring are all yellow, what is the genotype of each parent? 2) A plant is homozygous for the recessive gene "a" causing the plant to be short. What is the genotype and the phenotype of this plant? (In your answer, be very clear about which is the genotype and which is the phenotype). 3) The allele...

The expression of yellow petals in sunflowers is due to the dominant allele Y. The homozygous recessive (y) has orange petals. Plant height is controlled by another gene with two alleles, T and t, with Tall (T) being dominant to short (t). Two individuals that are heterozygous for both traits are crossed, the number of offspring of each phenotype is recorded in the table below. 1. The assumption is that these two genes assort independently. To test this, complete a...

1)Consider a cell with a diploid chromosome number 2n=10, and two telocentric pairs, two metacentric pairs, and one acrocentric pair of chromosomes. Draw the cell in anaphase I of meiosis. Indicate one pair of sister chromatids by arrows. Indicate one pair of homologous chromosomes by stars. Don’t forget to draw the centromeres and the spindle. (Hand drawing is OK for this question) 2) Describe how new combinations of alleles can be formed through the process of meiosis. 3) In corn,...

Suppose you have a group of beetles. You find that a white eye color in one of the beetles is due to a point mutation. Refer to B and b (where B is the allele associated with the dominant phenotype, and b is the allele associated with the recessive phenotype) in order to answer the following questions: 1) The cross of a pure breeding male with white eyes with a pure breeding female with normal eyes leads to all offspring...
