Assume that plant weight is determined by a pair of alleles at each of two independently assorting loci (A and a, B and b) that are additive in their effects. Further assume that each allele represented by an uppercase letter contributes 4 g to weight and that each allele represented by a lowercase letter contributes 1 g to weight. a. If a plant with genotype AA BB is crossed with a plant with genotype aa bb, what weights are expected in the F1 progeny?

10 g

Explanation:

In the given question, the uppercase letters that are A and B contribute 4 g of weight whereas the lowercase letters a and b contributes 1 g of weight.

When a cross is made between

                                          AABB     x       aabb

alleles will be-                   AB                   ab

F₁ progeny will be-           AaBb

In F₁ progeny, all offsprings will be AaBb.

The weight of the offsprings will be 4+1+4+1

= 10 g

Thus, 10 g is the correct answer.

a adaptation is when organism changes itself to fit the environment

hello everyone my name is nevaeh, i know everyone needs in some way, shape, or form and i am willing to provide. i set up a google classroom where people can ask me questions and get on work. no question is a stupid question so do not be afraid to ask. i usually only focus on core subjects but if you ask i will with other specialized subjects. i can do essays all the way to power points : )

my google classroom is the code is 7hr2k4

~ use this opportunity to get more so you can thrive in the classroom

i think that is new experiments yield untrustworthy data and should be carefully considered, because you don't know what will happen with the experiments.
