A pea plant requires an enzyme to produce flowers that are purple. If this enzyme is NOT functional, the flowers will be all white. Based on this information, which of the statements are true?

A. All of the answers provided are true.

B. The functional form of the protein is encoded by a recessive allele.

C. The non-functional form of the protein is encoded by a recessive allele.

Expert Solution

Correct answer is - c

The non-functional form of protein is encoded by recessive allele. Because the formation of purple color requires presence of dominant alleles of the gene converting colorless product to purple color product.

Other statements are wrong because a) all statements are not true as statement b is incorrect because if the functional protein is coded by recessive allele so purple color should be produce here. Presence of recessive alleles produces white product.

A pea plant shows a dominant trait for flower color and therefore have purple flowers. These pea plants can be either homozygous dominant or heterozygous. In order to determine the genotype of this flower we should cross it with a pea plant that has the genotype

A cross was made between a plant that has blue flowers and purple seeds to a plant with white flowers and green seeds. This is a parental cross and the parents are homozygous for both characters (color of the flower and color of the seeds). The resulting offspring (the F1 generation) is allowed to self-fertilize. Complete a Punnett square representing the F2 generation that results from the above self-fertilization. The traits blue flowers (B) and purple seeds (P) are dominant...

On a trihybrid cross of a tall, purple-flowered pea plant with round seeds (TtPpRr) with a short, white-flowered pea plant with round seeds (ttppRr), where you will use the Fork-Line Method to determine the probability of three different characteristics.

In pea plants, purple flower color is dominant over white. If one sees a purple pea plant and has no prior knowledge of its ancestry, what can be said its genotype? A. It is pp B. It is Pp C. It is PP D. It is either PP or Pp

You set up a dihybrid cross between true-breeding tall pea plant with white flowers and a true-breeding short pea plant with purple flowers. Your F1 generation looks uniformly tall with purple flowers. The results of the F2 generation counts are shown in the table below: Phenotype Number of progeny Tall/purple flowers 850 Short/purple flowers 350 Short/white flowers 87 Tall/white flowers 313 Your calculated Chi square test statistic for this analysis is: a. 8.31 b. 3.37 c. 4.19 d. 16.3 e....

in peas puppe flowers are dominant to whote flowers. a homozygous purple flower is crossed to a whitw flower. what proportion of their offspring should be predicted to be white and where does alternative mRNA SPLICING occur?

A wild legume with white flowers and long pods is crossed to one with purple flowers and short pods. The F1 offspring are allowed to self-fertilize, and the F2 generation has 301 long purple, 99 short purple, 612 long pink, 195 short pink, 295 long white and 98 short white plants. How are these traits being inherited? Inheritance of these traits can best be explained by one gene with 3 different alleles. Inheritance of these traits can best be explained...

In Europe, 53% of the flowers of the Rewardless Orchid, Dactylorhiza sambucina, are yellow, whereas the remaining flowers are purple.

In Europe, 53% of the flowers of the Rewardless Orchid, Dactylorhiza sambucina, are yellow, whereas the remaining flowers are purple. For this problem, only use the normal approximation where it is appropriate. Use the binomial distribution where the normal approximation is inappropriate. If we took a random sample of a single individual from this population, what is the probability, reported as a percent, that it would be purple? Determine the probability, reported as a decimal rounded to two decimal places,...

A true-breeding plant with red flowers was crossed with a true-breeding plant with white flowers. The F1 progeny all had a new flower color, pink. The F1 plants were inter-crossed, and produced 44 red, 135 pink, and 61 white flower plants. (4 pts.) What is the most likely mode of inheritance being exhibited in these phenotypes. State your hypothesis and provide your reasoning, which can also include why other modes of inheritance are unlikely (process of elimination). Do not assign...

Populations evolve for many reasons. Suppose there is a population of plants that have either purple flowers or white flowers

Populations evolve for many reasons. Suppose there is a population of plants that have either purple flowers or white flowers, and the allele for purple flowers is dominant. This means that plants with two purple alleles have purple flowers. Plants with one purple allele and one white allele also have purple flowers. Only plants with two white alleles have white flowers. For each event or condition described below, answer the following questions. Which mechanism of evolution is at work? How...
