In garden peas, the allele for tall plants is dominant over the allele for short plants. A true-breeding tall plant is crossed with a short plant, and one of their offspring is test crossed. Out of 20 offspring resulting from the test cross, about how many should be tall?A. 5
B. 20
C. 10
D. 0
E. 1/2

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: Option C

Out of the 20 resulting offspring of the test cross, 10 (50%) will be tall.

Explanation:

Let True-breeding tall plant be "TT"

Let short plant be tt

On crossing, all offspring will be "Tt"

Test cross involves the breeding of an individual with a phenotypically recessive individual. The test cross of offspring "Tt" against "tt" will then yield an equal ratio (1:1) of Tt to tt.

Thus, out of the 20 resulting offspring of the test cross, only 10 (50%) will be tall.

Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

When a true-breeding tall pea plant is crossed with a short plant, all the F1 offspring will be heterozygous tall. Upon performing a test cross of a heterozygous F1 tall plant with a short plant, about half of the resulting offspring should be tall. Thus, out of 20 offspring, approximately 10 (Option C) should be tall.

Explanation:

In garden peas, the allele for tall plants (T) is dominant over the allele for short plants (t). A true-breeding tall plant has two copies of the dominant allele (TT), while a short plant has two recessive alleles (tt). When you perform a test cross between a heterozygous tall plant (Tt) and a short plant (tt), the results should theoretically yield a 1:1 ratio of tall to short offspring. Since the question states the tall plant is true-breeding and crossed with a short plant, all offspring from this initial cross would be heterozygous tall (Tt). Each of these offspring, when test crossed with a short (tt) plant, would produce tall and short offspring in a 1:1 ratio.

Therefore, out of 20 offspring from the test cross, approximately half should be tall and half should be short. So, the expected number of tall offspring would be about 10.

The correct answer to the question is option C- 10.

The original population of brown spotted deer declined drastically after their forest habitat was flooded. After frantic efforts over three decades by the forest authorities to revive the dwindling population, it did bounce back. Now the deer population is as huge as it was three decades ago, but it shows a decreased amount of genetic variations. Which factor could be responsible for this microevolution?

Answers

Evolutionary bottleneck. The current population is descended from the few deer that existed at the population's lowest level.
A. Convergent evolution produces organisms with different adaptations but common ancestry, whereas adaptive radiation produces organisms with similar adaptations but different ancestry.

A scientist claims that volcanic eruptions caused dinosaurs to become extinct at this location. Decide whether you agree or disagree with the scientist's claim and then explain your decision.

Answers

Answer:

Dinosaurs are the extinct organisms that belong to the class reptilia. Dinosaurs are the most advanced and bulkier reptiles at the history time and they were overspecialized in their environment.

The dinosaurs extinct rapidly due to the change in the external conditions and the volcanic eruptions that occur at the dinosaurs time. The recent searcher claims that asteroid impact and massive volcanic eruption leads to the dinosaur extinction. The fossil evidence and the presence of the specific basalt and other chemicals are found in the volcanoes and in the asteroid.

The answer is Mutagen is biological agent that alters the genetic information of an organism

Explanation:

A mutagen is a physical, chemical or biological agent that alters or changes the genetic information of an organism and therefore increases the frequency of mutations above the natural level. it is a permanent change in the genetic material of a cell or a microorganism, which can alter a trait or a characteristic of a person or cause disease.

Bacteria come in assorted colors due to

Answers

Answer:

Different pigments.

Explanation:

Bacteria are the prokaryotic organisms that lacks the well developed nucleus. The endomembrane system is absent in bacteria and less cell organelle is present as compared with eukaryotic organism.

The bacteria are of different shape, size and colors. The colors of bacteria depend upon the type of pigment present in their body and the different wavelength of lights are absorbed by them. Pseudomonas contains the green color pigment pyoverdin and a blue pigment pyocyanin.

Thus, the answer is different pigments.

Bacteria come in assorted colors due to photosynthetic pigments.
