In tomatoes, the three mutant traits, dwarfness, green flesh, and white flowers, are due to the homozygous recessive state of the genes d, gf, and wf (respectively). A dwarf, green-fleshed, white-flowered plant is crossed as the pollen parent to the homozygous normal plant. a. Diagram the cross, using the forked-line […]

Two genes in chromosome 7 of corn are identified by the recessive alleles gl (glossy), determining glossy leaves, and ra (ramosa), determining branching of ears. When a plant heterozygous for each of these alleles was crossed with a homozygous recessive plant, the progeny consisted of the following genotypes with the […]

Question: Please help answering all of the questions The social structure and behavior of chimps in their communities or troops suggest many questions. What research questions might Dr. Hahn and her associates ask? – Choose one of the research questions from above and consider it in more detail. Based upon […]

In humans, two traits, rolling the tongue and the ability to taste PTC, depend on separate dominant genes located on different chromosomes. A man that can roll the tongue (assume he is homozygous) that cannot taste PTC married a woman that can not roll the tongue that can taste PTC […]
