To determine: The probability of collecting different colouerd marbles from each jar.
Introduction. The genetic material is all the living organism is the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). All the eukaryotes as well the prokaryotes have defined set of DNA sequence, which is inherited from one generation to another and codes for all the characters of the organism.

Introduction To Genetic Analysis
- A self-hybridization of pea plants was carried out for height and seed shape, resulting in 1600 plants, of which 900 were tall and smooth-seeded. What is the expected genotype of the plant: 1.

Question 20 When comparing domestic and wild varieties of a given species, which of the following statements is most likely true? O a. Domestic varieties have lower fitness than wild varieties when reared in a typical wild environment. Ob. Wild and domestic varieties perform equally well (growth) in a wild environment. O c. Domestic varieties are typically smaller than wild varieties regardless of environment they are grown in. O d. Wild varieties typically have higher fitness than domestic varieties when reared in a common lab environment. A Moving to another question will save this response. 000 O00 F4arrow_forward
- Mutations Adenosine triphosphate is an energy molecule found in cells and produced as a result of cellular respiration. Many enzymes are required for cellular respiration to produce an ATP molecule. The following is an original DNA segment from a sequence that codes for the production of an enzyme necessary for the production of ATP in organisms: Original DNA: TACAAGTTTAGTACGTATATGCCAACT A mutation occurred during replication that resulted in the following change in the segment of DNA: Mutated DNA: TACAAGTTTATGTACGTATATGCCAACT 1) Identify (circle the mutation in the mutated sequence) and name the type of mutation that occurred. 2) Evaluate the the significance of this mutation. a. How does this mutation affect the production of ATP? b. How will this mutation affect this organism cellular respiration process?arrow_forward(b) A plant breeder wants to use selective breeding to produce corn with short stalKS and a high mass of grain. He could use the following varieties of com: varlety A varlety B varlety C long stalks short stalks long stalks high mass of grain low mass of grain low mass of grain (i) What would the plant breeder need to do to make sure he always produced corn with short stalks and a high mass of grain? Describe the three steps the breeder would use. (ii) Suggest one other characteristic that famers might like corn plants to have to increase the amount of corn produced.arrow_forwardTallness (T) in snapdragon plants is dominant to dwarfness (t), and red (CR) flower color is not dominant to white (CW). The heterozygous condition results in pink (CRCW) flower color. If snapdragons are heterozygous for height as well as for flower color, a mating between them will result in what ratio?
