Best Answer

Male Goldfish develop white spots on their gill plates when they are in breeding condtion. Folks who are inexperienced or unaware of this, see the white spots and jump to the wrong conclusion. White spot (Ich) does not confine itself to the gill plates and can be seen on the fins and the body of fish that are being parasitised.

How do you tell whether a white goldfish is a boy or a girl?

You will have to wait until the fish is in breeding condition during the breeding season.(spring time). Then, if the fish is male, it will develop white pimple like structures on its gill plates and maybe its pectoral fins too. If it is a female it will develop a chubby tummy.

Why is it important that Mendel began with purebred plant?

The correct term is "true-breeding". What that means is that if he takes his two pea plants with white flowers and breeds them together, he will always get a pea plant with white flowers. Something that is true-breeding for a particular trait is homozygous, i.e. if the allele for red flowers is R and the allele for white flowers is w, then a true-breeding white flowering plant is ww, and true-breeding red flowering plant is RR. If you cross-breed a true-breeding red flowering with a true-breeding white flowering plant, you would get 1/4 of the offspring as true-breeding red flowers, 1/4 of the off-spring as true-breeding white flowers, and 1/2 the offspring as heterozygous (not true-breeding) red flowers - Rw. If you don't start with true-breeding plants - say you start with Rw and ww (a red and a white plant) you get 1/2 the offspring heterozygous red, and 1/2 true-breeding white. Thus if you didn't know anymore, you would assume that half the time when you breed a red and a white plant, you would get a red plant, and half the time a white, which is incorrect. Furthermore, if you conducted the experiment again, say with RR and Rw, you would get a different result (in this case, all red). By starting with plants that are true-breeding, you ensure that you get the same results that properly show how the traits are passed on.

Describe the offspring of a true breeding white flowering plant?

More true breeding white flowered plants. If the gene combination for white is WW and is dominant a cross of WW x WW would result in 100% WW (white flowered plants)
