Wild harebells have blue flowers. Two strains of harebells carry recessive alleles that give the plants white flowers.

a. Describe a cross to determine whether the white-flower causing alleles in these two strains are variants of the same gene or different genes, and the progeny phenotypes you expect to find in each case.

b. You results from the cross above indicate that the two strains carry alleles at different genes. What phenotypic ratio do you expect to find among the F2 progeny of a cross between parents of the two strains?

In a unique species of plants, flowers may be either yellow, blue, red, or mauve. A pure-breeding line with blue flowers is crossed to a pure-breeding red-flowered line, and the resulting F1 plants have yellow flowers. In the F2 the following ratio is observed: 9/16 yellow: 3/16 blue: 3/16 red: 1/16 mauve If pure-breeding yellow and mauve plants are crossed, the same F2 ratio is observed. A.

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...

Two pairs of alleles interact to determine cyanide production in different strains of white clover: some strains have high cyanide content, while others have low cyanide content. When a true-breeding strain (“H”) that produces high amounts of cyanide was crossed to a true-breeding strain (“L”) that produces low amounts of cyanide, the F1 plants all had high cyanide content. When the F1 plants were crossed to each other, the following resulted:    Low cyanide content: 350 plants High cyanide content:...

As seen in the PBS Nature documentary ‘What Plants Talk About’, wild tobacco plants have several different mechanisms to defend themselves from herbivore attacks. The following are some of the mechanisms except: Group of answer choices production of trichomes or “evil lollipops” that attracts herbivores, make the herbivores “smell” after eating trichomes and they become a target for predation plants switch pollinators by blooming at dawn production of nicotine which poisons any organism with muscles tobacco plant identifies the herbivore...
