Punnett squares are used to show possible combinations of alleles or to predict the probability of a trait occurring in offsprin

g. A parakeet that is heterozygous for blue feathers (dominant) is crossed with a parakeet that is homozygous for white feathers (recessive).

25 percent
50 percent
75 percent
100 percent

Answer:

50 percent

Explanation:

A single copy of a dominant allele is enough to be expressed, but recessive alleles need two copies to express. For that reason, the possible genotypes and phenotypes for feather colors are:

  • BB: blue
  • Bb: blue
  • bb: white

The parakeet with blue feathers is heterozygous, so it the has both a dominant allele for blue feathers (B) and a recessive allele for white feathers (b) and the genotype is Bb. The other parakeet is homozygous for white feathers, so it has two <em>b </em>alleles and the genotype bb.

When individuals produce gametes, the alleles separate, so the heterozygous parakeet will produce the gametes <em>B</em> and <em>b</em>, and the homozygous parakeet will produce two <em>b</em> gametes.

The Punnett Square shows the possible combination of the gametes produced by the two parents, and therefore the genotypes of the offspring:

  • Bb - blue feathers
  • Bb - blue feathers
  • bb - white feathers
  • bb - white feathers

2 out of four individuals of the offpring (50%) will have the genotype Bb and blue feathers.

How do day-neutral and intermediate-day photoperiod plants differ in their requirements?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Photoperiod signifies towards the time that an animal or a plant gets exposed to light in a twenty-four-hour duration. Different types of plants need different durations of light exposure to follow their respective life cycles.  

On the basis of getting exposed to light differently, the plants are differentiated into short-day plants, long-day plants, day-neutral plants, and intermediate-day plants. The day-neutral plants will undergo flowering at any length of the day, given that there is the availability of minimum amount of light, which is essential for usual growth. For example, beans, tropical plants, cotton, and others.  

On the other hand, the intermediate-day plants will not flower if the days are too long or too short, like different varieties of grasses.
