- Q8The diagram shows a cross between heterozygous tall pea plants. Which statement is not correct?The phenotypes of offspring E, F and G are the same.Offspring F and G are both heterozygous.The ratio of different phenotypes in the offspring is 1: 1.Offspring E and H are both homozygous30sEditDelete
- Q9A genetic cross between two organisms may be shown as Gg × Gg. What does g represent?a recessive chromosomea recessive allelea dominant chromosomea dominant allele30sEditDelete
- Q10Some fruit flies have orange eyes and others have red eyes. If two orange-eyed fruit flies are crossed, their offspring always have orange eyes. If two red-eyed fruit flies are crossed, their offspring sometimes include both orange-eyed and red-eyed flies. What can be concluded from these observations?We could determine which allele is dominant only by doing a cross that produces a 3:1 ratio.The allele for orange eyes is dominantThe allele for red eyes is dominant.Crossing an orange-eyed fly with a red-eyed fly will produce a 1: 1 ratio in the offspring30sEditDelete
