In chickens, comb shape is determined by genes at two loci (Gene 1 has alleles R, r and Gene 2 has alleles P, p). A walnut comb is produced when at least one dominant gene R is present at one locus and at least one dominant gene P is present at a second locus (genotype R_P). The genotype R_pp gives a rose comb phenotype; rrP_gives a pea comb phenotype; and rrpp gives a single comb phenotype. Based on this information give specific genotypes for comb shape of the parents in the crosses listed below: A) Walnut crossed with single produces 1 walnut, 1 rose, 1 pea and 1 single offspring. B) Rose crossed with pea produces 20 walnut offspring. C) Pea crossed with single produces 1 single offspring.

Angiosperm Reproduction

The process of sexual reproduction in flowering plants is known as angiosperm reproduction. In flowering plants, reproduction begins with pollination, or the transfer of male gametes (pollen) from the male reproductive organ (anther) to the female reproductive organ (pistil), and ends with fertilization of the female gametes (egg), which produces a zygote, which then grows to become a mature plant.
