- Gregor Mendel developed an understanding of heredity through his experiments with pea plants. The diagram below shows a cell with 2 pairs of homologous chromosomes and genotype of AaBb. a. Identify all the possible allele combinations that could be formed if this cell undergoes meiosis. b. Identify one of Mendel's laws that is illustrated when you write out these allele combinations. EXPLAIN this law.arrow_forwardwhats the answer for #2 and is #1 correct?arrow_forwardBlood types in humans are Codominant. a. What are the possible genotypes of someone with type O blood? b. What are the possible genotypes of someone with type B blood? c. What is the phenotype of someone’s whose genotype is AO? d. A man with AB blood is married to a woman with AB blood. What blood types will their children be and in what proportion?arrow_forward
- You inspect an ear of corn and find the following number of kernels: 461 red and starch, 142 red and sweet, 156 yellow and starchy and 53 yellow and sweet. a. What genotype did the parent corn plants probably have? b. Support your answer by working out the cross with a Punnett squarearrow_forwardA poultry grower has 2 breeds of chicken, averaging 9 and 5 lbs. inweight. The F1 of the cross between is quite uniform, averaging 7lbs. Of the F2 progeny, 0.4% is as heavy as either parent. a. How much does each effective allele contribute to weight? b. What is the number of polygenes pairs involved in thesecrosses? c. If only those with an average weight of 6-8 lbs. are marketable, whatpercentage of the offspring will yield profit for the grower?arrow_forwardANSWER D E Farrow_forward
