- What type of fertilization happens when two individuals mate by brushing pollen from one plant onto a female organ of another plant (Mendel used)?List and briefly describe the three processes that lead to variation in offspring with the same parents.Suppose you do a cross between two parents who are both heterozygous for two traits, such as petal shape (narrow or wide, narrow is dominant) and flower color (red or white, red is dominant). If there are 160 offspring, how many would you expect to have wide petals with red flowers?
- -What is the likelihood the next viable offspring (regardless of gender) will be short-tailed and brown? -What is the likelihood the next viable offspring (regardless of gender) will be long-tailed and green?A plant with a genotype MmNN is self-fertilized. What is the genotypic ratio of the offspring?Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion What is a phenotype and how is it determined? What is phenotypic plasticity? Over what time scale does phenotypic plasticity act? Why would animals want to have plastic phenotypes?
- What is the probability (percentage) of purple flowers offspring if purple flowers are dominant to white flowers?There is a lack of dominance in four o’clock plant flowers. When a red flower is crossed with a white flower, a pink flower is produced. In an experiment, pink flowers were self-pollinated. The phenotype ratio of the F2 generation is Number: Answer Answer Answer Flower Colour: Red White PinkThere are 120 pink flowers and 112 white collected as a result of the Second filial generation. What are the parental genotypes of the parents? a. Red and Pink b. Pink and Pink c. Pink and White d. Red and White
