Question
Chapter 40.4, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To describe: The three evolutionary strategies that promote outcrossing.
Introduction: The plants are the multicellular eukaryotic organism in the kingdom Plantae. It is characterised by photosynthetic nutrition, a process through which it synthesis carbohydrates, essential unlimited growth at localised region, presence of cellulose in their cell wall and absence of locomotory organs.

How many alleles? What are the dominant and recessive interactions between the alleles at the locus/loci? ii)what are the possible genotypes of the parents and F1s? iii) Based on your hypothesized genotypes from ii, what do you expect the outcome of a cross between the F1's to be?

Coat color is determined by the TYRP1 gene. The TYRP1-T homozygote is light colored, while TYRP1-G homozygotes and heterozygotes are dark. Discuss the hypothesis that assortative mating between sheep with similar coat color is the cause of the increase in light coat color over this period.arrow_forwardArginine yasotocin (AVT) is a hormone implicated in reproductive function in fish.
