In pea plants, there is a gene that controls the size of the pea plant. The plant can be tall or dwarf (short). Tall plants (T) are dominant to dwarf plants (t). Complete a Punnett Square of a cross of two plants that are heterozygous for this trait. What is the resulting genotype ratio of […]

What benefits does that phenotype have over the alternative possible phenotypes?
Q5.4.2 What model of selection is going on in this scenario? How do you know? (i.e. How do the relative fitness values compare to one another)? Q5.4.3 What phenotype is being favored? What benefits does that phenotype have over the alternative possible phenotypes? Q5.4.4 Will this population go to fixation? If so, which allele will […]
What gene mutation is associated with cystic fibrosis-How does this affect mucus production?
A 2-week-old has an abnormality on her universal newborn screening lab test that indicates she may have cystic fibrosis. She is currently doing well. Her parents report that in the hospital she did not pass her first bowel movement until the 3rd day of life and that the staff was concerned about that. Her parents […]
Define genotype, phenotype, ontogeny, and phylogeny in your own words. What is the relationship between genotype, phenotype, ontogenetic development, and phenotypic development? Choose a specific example from the world and walk through each term using that one example (showing the connection and distinction between the terms).
