pea plants only.
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
Why did Thomas Hunt Morgan use fruit flies in his studies?
Respuesta
-
Fruit flies produce a large number of offspring.
-
Fruit flies share certain characteristics with pea plants.
-
Fruit flies have a long life span.
-
Fruit flies take a long time to produce offspring.
Pregunta 18
Pregunta
A trait is a specific characteristic that varies from one individual to another.
Pregunta 19
Pregunta
True-breeding plants that produced axial flowers were crossed with true-breeding plants that produced terminal flowers. The resulting offspring all produced terminal flowers because the allele for terminal flowers is recessive.
Pregunta 20
Pregunta
During the formation of gametes in a hybrid tall plant, the tall allele and the short allele stay together.
Pregunta 21
Pregunta
The principles of probability can explain the numerical results of Mendel’s experiments.
Pregunta 22
Pregunta
The probability that a gamete produced by a pea plant heterozygous for stem height (Tt) will contain the recessive allele is 100%.
Pregunta 23
Pregunta
A trait in an unidentified plant is controlled by one gene that has two alleles. One allele is dominant over the other. According to Mendel’s principles, one fourth of the offspring made from a cross between two heterozygous plants will show the recessive trait.
