- Question- 1. In onions, male sterility is due to the interaction of a chromosomal allele pair hh and “sterile” (S) cytoplasm. All other combinations (i.e. HH/Hh and “sterile” cytoplasm, HH/Hh or hh “fertile” (F) cytoplasm) result in male-fertile plants. The male-sterile trait is incorporated into inbred lines to produce hybrid F1 seed on a commercial scale.a) How would you perpetuate the male-sterile line? Show the cross.b) Briefly outline the method of producing hybrid seed (heterozygote) for the commercial crop. Show the cross.c) Does it matter whether the cytoplasm is fertile or sterile in the male-fertile inbred? Explain.QUESTION 42 Two different populations that have a high degree of gene flow are expected to… a. have similar levels of heterozygosity. b. have an FST close to 1. c. be completely isolated from each other. d. vary in allele frequency from one another.Question:- 1. A brand-new deleterious allele has just entered a population via mutation; this allele had not existed before in the population. If its allele frequency in the next generation is 0.00000021, what must have the mutation rate have been of these gene? 2. Use #1 to answer. Using standard scientific notation format, enter the exponent (including the negative sign).
- QUESTION 13 Feather color in a certain species of bird is controlled by a pair of alleles that exhibit incomplete dominance.

QUESTION 20 Which of the following might explain how two separate genes control a single trait? a. One gene function better at higher temperatures. b. Both genes have the same alleles. c. There are two genes to control two separate steps in a pathway. d. Two genes cannot control a single trait.Question 12 A heritable trait is one which 1. is passed on from parent to offspring 2. does not vary between members of a population 3. develops over one's lifetime (like muscle growth) 4. results from a mutationQUESTION 23 Allele frequencies for eye color in a population of hippogriffs is p=0.73.
