What is the probability of finding an example plant in the F10 generation?      ii. What is the probability of finding an example plant in the F4 generation? [Note: this probability is higher than that for the F10 generation or the F3 generation.  What qualitative reason might there be

Describe in quantitative detail Mendel's results using single traits, for all 3 generations we described in class (P, F₁, and F₂).

In his work on pea plants, Mendel found that plant height was inherited independently of the type or color of the seed coat. This finding: Group of answer choices Explains gene linkage. Demonstrates the Law of Independent Assortment. Demonstrates the Law of Dominance and Recessiveness. Applies only to genes on the same chromosome.

During his study of the rare Idlewild Lady Slipper (a wild orchid), Dr. Jorge Whiteback discovered several variants of the typical “wild-type” phenotype. He found two varieties of lady slippers at different elevations: a lady slipper variety found in the valley with red flowers and a lady slipper found at higher elevations with white flowers. When Dr. Whiteback did controlled crosses between lady slippers with red flowers and lady slippers with white flowers, all the offspring of this cross had pink flowers. After allowing pink flowering lady slippers to self-fertilize, the next generation of plants had 112 red flowering plants, 218 pink flowering plants, and 108 white flowering plants. part a)What mode of inheritance would best explain the results of Dr. Whiteback’s crosses?  part b)How many genes and how many different alleles of these gene(s) are determining flower color according to your mode of inheritance?  c) Define alleles using the appropriate notation for your answer in (a)…

Why was Mendel’s success dependent on his studying characteristics that exhibit only two easily distinguished phenotypes, such as white versus gray seed coats and round versus wrinkled seeds? Would he have been less successful if he had instead studied traits like seed weight or length of the leaves, which vary much more in their phenotypes? Explain your answer.

Two genes are found in a chameleon, one for camouflage (dull colors dominant to vibrant colors) and another for muscle strength (strong dominant to weak), which seem to follow basic Mendelian inheritance patterns, To determine if they are linked, you set up a testcross and got the following results: Phenotype Number of Progeny Dull colors; Strong 98 Dull colors; Weak 76 Vibrant colors; Strong 72 Vibrant colors; Weak 105 Did you start this experiment with the genes in coupling or repulsion? O Coupling O Repulsion O Cannot determine with this information

Mendel's principle of segregation [Select] [Select] demonstrates why a pea plant can be tall with round seeds or short with round seeds * Previous demonstrates that offspring get one copy of each chromosome from each parent demonstrates that the inheritance of one trait can affect the inheritance of another trait. even when they're on different chromosomes demonstrates that when populations are segregated they are more likely to evolve quickly
