a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The results presented summarizing the main findings.

Introduction. Maternal effects are the resultant of the maternal genes that influence the phenotype and genotype of the zygote. The maternal genes are present in the cytoplasm and are inherited as complete cytoplasm into the cells of the developing embryo.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The explanation for the results produced from a cross between Funaria hygrometrica and Funaria mediterranea.

Introduction. Multiple allelism is the condition where one character or trait is controlled by various alleles and not just the two alleles.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The method for testing the explanation and how it can be distinguished from other explanations. 

Introduction. The genotype of an organism is dependent on its genome and also on the environment of the organism. In some of the animals, it is not as typical as the genotype of the mother plays a crucial role. This type of effect is known as a maternal effect. The genes that participate in this are called maternal effect genes.

Examine the trait distribution of Specific Leaf Area (The ratio of leaf area to dry mass, SLA), below. The dotted normal distribution represents the natural pattern of SLA observed in nature. The histogram below the dotted curve represents the distribution of phenotypes when the plant is grown in a single common environment. The numbers above the bars represent the observed phenotype ratio. a a) How many polygenes encode for this trait? b) Assuming the minimum observed phenotype in a common garden was 8sqm/kg and the maximum observed phenotype was 20 sqm/kg, what is the contribution of each allele in this polygene?
Topic: Trihybrid Cross, Height in merigonias is determined by three unlinked genes that act additively. Each has two alleles, one compltely dominant allele(A,B or C) that makes plants taller and one recessive allele that makes plants shorter. Do the corss AaBbCc X AaBbCc. The F1 progenty: 27/64 will be as tall as the parents; 37/64 will be shorter than the parents. Pls explain it with more details. thanks
Hybridization of a homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive plant was conducted. What is the probability that the F2 will have the phenotype big oval shaped yellow leaves, white flowers, and pink fruits? Hybridization of a homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive plant was conducted. What is the probability that the F2 will have the phenotype green, small and spade shaped leaves with pink and rounded fruits? Hybridization of a homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive plant was conducted. What is the probability that the F2 will show only all the dominant phenotypes? Hybridization of a homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive plant was conducted. How many of 10,000,000 F2 progeny will have a fully heterozygous genotype? Hybridization of a homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive plant was conducted. How many of 10,000,000 F2 progeny will have a full set of recessive phenotype? Hybridization of a homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive plant was conducted. What…
