What are two forms of traits of seed shape in pea plants?
Mendel described two seed shapes among the pea seeds in his study: Smooth and Wrinkled.
What is heterozygouz?
Many organisms contain two copies of each chromosome, and generally these two chromosomes are not identical. If a particular trait, such as the shape of a pea, is determined by one particular section of a chromosome, it is possible for the two copies of the chromosome to have different instructions for the trait. If the two sections of the two chromosomes have different instructions, this is called being heterozygous.Often if an organism is heterozygous for a trait, one of the sets of instructions (called an allele) will be dominant over the other. This means that if either of the chromosomes has that dominant version of the allele, that is the set of instructions that will be followed.Examples: The gene for seed shape in pea plants exists in two forms, one form or allele for round seed shape (R) and the other for wrinkled seed shape (r). A heterozygous plant would contain the following alleles for seed shape: (Rr).Organisms have two alleles for each trait. When the alleles of a pair are heterozygous, one is dominant and the other is recessive. Using the previous example, round seed shape (R) is dominant and wrinkled seed shape (r) is recessive. Round: (RR) or (Rr), Wrinkled: (rr).
What would have stopped mendel from finding a pattern in his results?
If seed shape did not have a clearly dominant form. If seed color and shape were located on the same chromosome
Why are oranges round?
because of the seed ,it forms into a round shape.
What are the two forms of the trait of seed shape?
Seeds come in different sizes and shapes. Some are oval with a point at one end. This would be an example of an apple seed. Other seeds are helicopters which means they spin when dropped. An example of this seed is a conifer tree seed.
What two forms of traits for seed shape did Mendel Observe?
Mendel observed round and oval seed shapes.
What was the phenotype for the seed shape of both parent plants considering that Mendel observed that round seed shape Capital R was dominant to the wrinkled shape lowercase r?
Hybrids
What would happen if the gene for seed color and the gene for seed shape in pea plants were linked?
they would both combined genes and make different offsprings.
Round seed shape in peas is an example of a trait controlled by a dominant allele beacause?
Because the round pea seed is dominant over the wrinkled pea seed.
What 2 forms of traits for seed shape did Mendel observe?
Round (smooth) and wrinkled
Why were color and seed shape in pea plants good traits for Mendels to study?
sex
Why were color and seed shape and pea plants good traits for Mendel to study?
