Question
Chapter 9.11, Problem 16L
Summary Introduction
To describe: The function of each part of the reflex arc and name the two examples of reflex.
Introduction: Neurons are brain cells that are specialized to transmit nerve impulses. There are three types of neurons: sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons. In vertebrates, these neurons play an important role in the flow of information.

The Snapdragon is a popular garden flower that comes in a variety of colours, including red, yellow, and orange. The genotypes and associated phenotypes for some of these flowers are as follows:
aabb: yellow
AABB, AABb, AaBb, and AaBB: red
AAbb and Aabb: orange
aaBB: yellow
aaBb: ?
Based on this information, what would the phenotype of a Snapdragon with the genotype aaBb be and why?

orange because A is epistatic to B
yellow because A is epistatic to B
red because B is epistatic to A
orange because B is epistatic to A
red because A is epistatic to B

So you make the same cross again (between a homozygous black seeded, mold susceptible parent and a homozygous white seeded and mold resistant parent), and, again, advance progeny by SSD to create 100 F10 generation plants. Based on the information you obtained from your first crossing experiment (Question #4), how many F10 plants would you expect to have black seeds and be resistant to mold? Assume that a toxin produced by the mold fungus has been isolated. Only mold resistant seeds will germinate in the presence of the toxin. Could you use this toxin screening procedure to have segregation distortion work in your favor in the F2 generation? Explain your answer. Info from Question 4 a. P Locus (Seed Color): Hypothesis: The null hypothesis (H₀) is that seed color is controlled by alleles at a single locus.
