Mendel crossed peas having round seeds and yellow cotyledons (seed leaves) with peas having wrinkled seeds and green cotyledons. All the F1 plants had round seeds with yellow cotyledons. Based on this cross, what is the probability that an organism in the F2 generation will have round seeds and green cotyledons and be true breeding?

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

This question involves two distinct genes; one coding for seed shape and the other for cotyledon color. The alleles for round seeds (R) and yellow cotyledons (Y) are dominant over the alleles for wrinkled seed (r) and green cotyledon (y) respectively.

In a cross between a truebreeding (i.e. same alleles for both genes) pea having round seeds and yellow cotyledon (RRYY) and a truebreeding pea having wrinkled seeds and green cotyledon (rryy), the F1 offsprings will all possess a heterozygous round seed and yellow cotyledon (RrYy).

The F1 offsprings (RrYy) will produce the following gametes: RY, Ry, rY, and ry. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), 16 possible offsprings will be produced in a ratio 9:3:3:1.

According to the question, 3/16 of the F2 offsprings will possess round seeds and green cotyledons, however, only 1 of them will be truebreeding i.e. RRyy. Hence, 1/16 of the F2 offsprings will be truebreeding for round seeds and green cotyledons.

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
