Term 10 of 129
Assuming that both parent plants in the diagram below are homozygous, why would all of the
f1 generation have yellow phenotypes?
Help Getting Started
diagram showing the result of cross-pollination in the first 2 offspring generations--in
generation f1 all are yellow peas but in generation f2 the ratio of yellow to green peas is 3 to 1
because the f1 genotypes are homozygous
because yellow is dominant over green
because both parents passed on yellow alleles
, Term 11 of 129
A codon consists of:
A nitrogenous base, five-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group
A chain of polypeptides
A sequence of three nucleotides read in a defined reading frame
DNA transcripted into RNA
Term 12 of 129
Which of the following tools identify patterns of inheritance in regards to a family's genetic
features?
Punnet Square
Pedigree
Ancestral Chart
History Lines
Genetic Association Charts
Term 13 of 129
In the diagram below, what accounts for the green pea seed in the f2 generation?
Help Getting Started
diagram showing the result of cross-pollination in the first 2 offspring generations--in
generation f1 all are yellow peas but in generation f2 the ratio of yellow to green peas is 3 to 1
On average, 1 out of 4 offspring of heterozygous parents will be homozygous recessive.
The yellow allele is dominant over the green one.
The f1 generation parents are homozygous yellow.
