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.
Give a concise genetic hypothesis for the inheritance of this trait (include number of genes, number of alleles and dominance relations between alleles).
Designate your own gene symbols and list the genotypes and ratios for each F2 class.
Determine the expected phenotypic ratios if the F1 from above is crossed to a pure-breeding mauve plant.

OPTION E: An examination of a mythological creature (no partners) Mermaids are imaginary organisms that combine the bodies of two very different critters. In reality, this would cause many biological difficulties: different digestive systems, two hearts, different circulatory systems, different modes of reproduction, different methods of excretion, gills a n d lungs, etc. You would need to solve the system duplication and incompatibility issues. You must provide d e t a il e d drawings of the creature in question and your proposed internal organ arrangement ± how did you make everything work correctly? (50 pts.) You must also provide a minimum five or more page d e t a il e d typewritten explanation of the biological difficulties encountered and s p e c ifi c a lly how you solved them, so that the creature would be able to function as myths tell us they do. (50 pts.) i have project on this please help me with ih who i start .

Which yields more ATP, fats or carbs? Using a flow chart, indicate how many ATP molecules are generated from the complete oxidation of 2 glucose molecules. Contrast with the complete oxidation of a 12-carbon fatty acid. In your discussion indicate how many NADH and FADH2 and ATP are produced and in what pathway. Your final answer should be expressed as the #ATP /2 glucose and #ATP/12-C fatty acid. (5 marks)
