A plant breeder found a species of flowering plant with very attractive flowers growing wild in a field and she thought it would appeal to her customers. Some of the plants of this species had red flowers, some white flowers, and some pink flowers. While she would like to be able to offer her customers all three colors of flowers, she only has permission from the landowner to dig up one plant to bring back to the nursery as breeding stock. What would be the best thing for her to do?

Take a white flowering plant since the white allele could be masking the pink allelle.
Take a pink flowering plant since it is likely to carry both the red and white alleles.
Take a red flowering plant since it could produce all three colors eventually.
Take a red flowering plant since the red allele is likely the dominant one.
Show the cross between a plant which is tall and purple, heterozygous for both traits AND a plant which is short and purple; heterozygous for purple flowers. Use the dihybrid template printout from above for this cross. Insert your picture by clicking on the picture frame and ensure that your picture includes your name.
Let's say that you were a farmer and you have a field of peas of various genotypes. Pretend that you only want to produce wrinkled peas. What would you do with your current plants to ensure that the next generation is mostly wrinkled peas? (You can't buy different plants; work with what you have.)

- Give at least three reasons why hybrid seeds are expensive.arrow_forwardIn Iowa, a company called Team Corn works to ensure that fields of seed corn outcross so that hybrid vigor can be maintained. They do this by removing the staminate (that is, pollen-producing) flowers from the corn plants. In an attempt to put Team Corn out of business, you would like to develop genetically engineered corn plants that a. contain Z genes to prevent germination of pollen on the stigmatic surface. b. contain S genes to stop pollen tube growth during selffertilization. c. express B-type homeotic genes throughout developing flowers. d. express A-type homeotic genes throughout developing flowers.arrow_forwardWhy plant breeders intend to change the inheritance of crop plants?
