A botanist crosses two pink-flowered plants. The cross involves alleles that were not clearly dominant or recessive and could make red, pink, and white-flowered plants. If four plants are produced from the cross, what is the expected number of white-flowered plants?

1

Explanation:

According to the information in this question, a gene coding for flower color in a plant is involved. The allele for red color (R) is incompletely dominant over the allele for white color (r) to form an intermediate phenotype/color i.e. Pink that is heterozygous (Rr) for the gene.

If two pink plants are crossed i.e. Rr × Rr, each parent will produce R and r gametes. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following offsprings will result: RR, Rr, Rr, and rr.

Out of these four offsprings;

1 RR is red : 2 Rr is pink: 1 rr is white

Hence, If four plants are produced from this cross, according to this question, the expected number of white-flowered plants will be 1 out of 4.

the oceanic zone is typically defined as the area of the ocean lying beyond the continental shelf, but operationally is often referred to as beginning where the water depths drop to below 100 meters (328 feet), seaward from the coast to the open ocean.

explanation:

increase soil erosion                                             reduce soil erosion

cattle grazing                                                         hydroseeding

deforestation                                                         contour plowing

                                                                                planting vegetation

plant roots basically hold the top soil

together and stop soil erosion because

in such situation top soil is not removed

during flood but cattle grazing causes

soil erosion because cattle consume the

grasses and herbs and top soil is exposed.

same situation occurs because of

deforestation, the trees and plants are cut

down to expose top soil which causes soil

erosion
