A scientist studying a species of algae, Gracilaria domingensis, discovered that its color is controlled by a single gene with two alleles. The individuals with a red or green phenotype are homozygous for the red or green alleles and the individuals with a brown phenotype are heterozygous. The scientist crosses two brown individuals. What percent of the offspring from this cross is predicted to be brown? A: 25%B: 50%C: 75%D: 100%
Labrador retrievers’ fur color is controlled by two alleles, E and B. Any dog with the ee__ genotype develops into a yellow lab, while B_E_ dogs become black labs and bbE_ dogs become chocolate labs. This is an example of _____. a. epistasis b. codominance c. incomplete dominance d. linkage
Imagine that Mendel is tending a garden of 100 pea plants. He has 20 plants that are homozygous for the purple allele, 50 plants that are heterozygous, and 30 plants that are homozygous for the white allele. A) What is the frequency of the purple (P) allele? B) What is the frequency of the white (p) allele?
A tall pea plant with purple flowers (both determined by dominant alleles) is crossed with a short plant with white flowers. there is no linkage of genes. if the tall, purple-flowered plant is heterozygous for both traits, the offspring will be: A 1 purple tall:1 white short B 3 purple tall:1 white short C 9 purple tall:3 purple short:3 white tall:1 white short D 1 purple tall:1 purple short:1 white tall:1 white short
