Textbook Question
Chapter 10.1, Problem 3CC
WHAT IF? A horticulturalist breeds orchids, trying to obtain a plant with a unique combination of desirable traits. After many years, she finally succeeds. To produce more plants like this one, should she crossbreed it with another plant or clone it? Why?

- WHAT IF? Suppose males in the first mating had a mutant allele thatresulted in smaller eyes as a dominant trait (see Concept 14.1). What fractionof the females would produce some offspring with smaller eyes?arrow_forwardImagine you are trying to test whether a population of flowers is undergoing evolution. You suspect there is selection pressure on the color of the flower: bees seem to cluster around the red flowers more often than the blue flowers. In a separate experiment, you discover blue flower color is dominant to red flower color. In a field, you count 600 blue flowers and 200 red flowers. What would you expect the genetic structure of the flowers to be?arrow_forward3. Is it possible for a recessive trait to be frequently expressed in a population? Why?4.
