stupid_kid Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Suppose you have a pea plant with purple flowers, and you are asked what is its genotype. You do not know what its parents looked like and cannot find this information anywhere. You have no other plants to mate it with. How can you find out what its genotype is? explain fully.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Do you know what gene causes coloring in pea plants?
lucaspa Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Suppose you have a pea plant with purple flowers, and you are asked what is its genotype. You do not know what its parents looked like and cannot find this information anywhere. You have no other plants to mate it with. How can you find out what its genotype is? explain fully. You look it up from people who did know what the parents looked like and did do the mating experiments.
Mokele Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Pea plants are monoecious, possessing male and female parts on the same flower. Self-fertilize it. If it's homozygous, all the offspring will be like the parent. If it's heterozygous, you'll get the usual 3:1 mix of phenotypes.
