Two true-breeding stocks of pea plants are crossed. One parent has red, axial flowers and the other has white, terminal flowers; all F 1 individuals have red, axial flowers. The genes for flower color and location assort independently. Among the F 2 offspring, what is the probability of plants with white axial flowers?

3/16

Explanation:

Two true-breeding stocks of pea plants are crossed. One parent has red RR, axial flowers AA and the other has white rr, terminal flowers aa

Parent cross RRAA x rraa

Gamete: RA x ra

F1 gen. RrAa

Selfing of F1. RrAa x RrAa

F2 offspring

Rr x Rr Aa x Aa

RR Rr rr AA Aa aa

3/4 red 1/4 white 3/4 axial 1/4terminal

Probability of plants with white axial flowers is 1/4*3/4 = 3/16

correct answer: understand the different control methods available

integrated pest management is an strategy that is based on the ecosystem and try to prevent the pest and the damage caused by them by applying combination of technique like habitat manipulation, biological control and use of resistant varieties.

the main aim of the integrated pest management is not to completely eliminate the pest but to strengthen the ecosystem so that conditions are favorable for plants and unfavorable for pests.
