Suppose a group of researchers analyzed a new species of flowering plant. In this species, flower color is determined by two genes. They crossed a truebreeding red-flowered stock with a truebreeding white-flowered stock. They then crossed the F_1 offspring together and analyzed the next generation. Upon examining the flower color, they found that the F_2 generation contained 178 purple, 60 red, and 80 white flowers. What genetic term best describes the inheritance pattern of flower color for this species?a. genes in one pathwayb. no gene interactionc. dominant epistasisd. recessive epistasis

1. the passing of is the basis of heredity. 2. our encode the instructions that define our traits. 3. each of us has thousands of genes, which are made of and reside in our chromosomes. 4. in addition to our genes, the we live in also define our traits. 5. humans have two complete sets of chromosomes. 6. when parents conceive a child, each parent contributes set of chromosomes. 7. every child receives of its chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. 8. this transfer takes place at when the father’s sperm joins the mother’s egg. 9. while most cells in our bodies have two sets of chromosomes, or a total of egg and sperm each have chromosomes. 10. when egg and sperm unite they create a single cell called a 11. each parent contributes complete set of chromosomes to their child. 12. since the parents contribute the chromosomes to each new child, every child inherits a unique set of chromosomes. 13. as a result, every baby will have a combination of traits.

~~16. while watching a special on animals, brianna discovers that hares tend to lose heat through their ears. based on this and what is known about surface-to-volume ratios, propose an explanation as to why hares that live in hot climates (such as the desert) have large, extended ears
