I have a question about genetics... please help!?

Different types of snapdragons produce different colored flowers. If you cross a true breeding red flowered variety with a true breeding white flowered variety- the offspring will all produce pink flowers. If you cross the pink flowered plants with each other, you get 1 red, 2 pink, and 1 white flowered plant. Red flowers are so because of a pigment called anthocyanin, and the pigment is the product of a biochemical pathway consisting of several chemical reactions, each catalyzed by a specific enzyme.





Based on what you know about how genes work, please explain why the white flowers are white rather than red.

Reply:It seems to me that based on that information the white flowers are white because the gene to produce a white flower blocks the biochemical pathway that creates the anthocyanin. So, in the pink flowers the gene is only partially blocking the pathway.
Reply:I know zip about genetics.


But I do know a bit about optics, and the fact is, there are a lot of colors that humans can't see, like infared.





So maybe there are color variations going on there, but we can't see them, because they're up out of the range that we are able to see.





You know, the same way that sounds above 20,000 hz can't be heard by us, but dogs go crazy hearing them.


That doesn't mean the sound isn't happening.


So maybe these colors are actually happening.





Just a while guess.
Reply:ok you know that the genotype of the first generation are all heterozygouse, red and white, which is why you get all pink flowers (red +white= pink) in this case you know that the alleles red and white are not dominant or recessive with respect to one another. each flower from the first generation has red allele R and a white allele W, so if you cross the two together you get (do the punnet square)


...R.....W





R RR RW





W RW WW











you have one offspring RR which is red, two are RW which means they are pink, and one is WW which means its only white.... hope this made any sence....
Reply:ah... looks like someone's still in school
Reply:To visualize how combining two pink flowers could produce a red, 2 pink and 1 white, draw a square. Draw a cross in the middle of the square so there are 4 sections. We will label colors as follows RR = red, Rr = pink, rr = white. Now go to your box. Both flowere are pink so they are Rr. On the top left of your box write R and on the top right write r. That represents one pink (Rr) flower. Now go to the left side of your box. On the top left write R and on the bottom left write r. This represents the other pink flower. Now lets put them together. At the top left of the box you will find an R. Put this in the top left square. Now go to the side of the box. The top left has an R. Put that in the top left square. It should have RR in it which means a red flower. Now go to the top right of the box which has an r and put it into the top right section. Go to the left side of the box at the top where you will find an R. Put this in the top right section. You will have an Rr in that box which means a pink flower. If you combine the R on the top left and the r on the bottom side you will get another Rr - pink flower. Finally, if you put the r from the top right in the bottom right section and the r from the bottom of the left side into the bottom right section, you will have rr - a white flower.What you just made was a punnett square used in genetics to determine the probability of certain traits in offsprings. Dominant features are represented by a capital letter and recessive features by a small letter. Try your square with eye color. Brown is dominant and blue is recessive. Brown will be represented by B and blue by b. Wherever there is a B, the eye color will be brown so you could only have blue eyes with bb. Pretend your parents both have brown eyes but are carrying the recessive gene "b" for blue eyes. They each would be represented by Bb. Set up your punnett square with B and b on the top and B and b on the side. Cross them like you did with flowers and you will see that the chances are that 1 offspring will be BB - that is homonenous (the same dominant genes) for brown eyes. 2 of the offsprings will have brown eyes but they have Bb - genes for both brown and blue eyes (called heterogenous ) but end up with brown eyes because brown is dominant. In one square you will have bb and that offspring will have blue eyes. It's kind of fun and you can use this with all kinds of traits to predict the possibilities of outcomes for different traits in offsprings. Kind of long but I hope it helped you understand.
Reply:In snapdragons the allele for Red colour (R) is incompletely dominant to White (W)


Parental RR X WW





gametes R W





F1 All RW (an intermediate which are pink)





RW X RW





gametes R, W R, W





F2 1 RR : 2RW : 1WW

Do I need the whole root of my foxglove seedlings when I thin them out? They are way too thick!?

They are very spindly like a vine, when I pulled a section up there was not much root. They are about 2 inches high, and I am a first year gardener, so any tips on this or anything else about thinning would be great. I also planted cosmos, delphinium, larkspur, sweet pea(mammoth), snapdragons, canterbury bells....and four o'clocks as a border around the south side of my garden and caladium borders my other sides......When should i stake my tall flowers? Have a Q about my climbing roses but I'll save that for another time. Thanx in advance.

Do I need the whole root of my foxglove seedlings when I thin them out? They are way too thick!?
when you thin, are you trying to replant the one you plucked out? if you are then yes you need to get all the root.. soak the area and gently pull out of soil, replant immediately...


your garden sounds lovely and good luck


I'd just like some opinions on my wedding ideas, please.?

Hi everyone! I got engaged two days ago and I'm absolutely thrilled. As I'm sure many of you ladies do, I've had ideas about my wedding for awhile now. I'd appreciate if you all tell me honestly what you think about the following ideas:





1) Color scheme: bright, cheerful shades of yellow and pink. (It's a summer wedding-- July 2008).


2) Bridesmaids: I have two. One in pink with yellow bouquet, one in yellow with bouquet.


3) Flowers: Lilies and snapdragons. I will have both pink and yellow along with white in my bouquet.


4) Wedding favors: I'd like to make bookmarks with some of our favorite literary quotes. We met in a bookstore and both love to read, so I thought this would be a very personal gift to our guests.


5) We both love fantasy as well. We're going to Disneyworld for our honeymoon. I wanted to incorporate some fairy tale touches into the wedding without it being tacky. I was thinking a castle cake topper, fairy flower girl, an arch with ivy and white lights.

I'd just like some opinions on my wedding ideas, please.?
Sounds good to me except the yellow dress part. My husband's cousin had yellow bridesmaid dresses and they looked horrible on everyone except the one Italian girl in her wedding. On her the dress looked fabulous, so if your one girl has gorgeous olive skin it would be ok. Yellow doesn't look good on pale girls. Also, the dresses were completely see through which no one realized until the girls were outside at the church and you could see everyone's underwear.





I say put them all in a gorgeous pink dress (make sure they aren't see through) and then give your MOH a bigger bouquet or a different colored sash or something.





Make sure no one that has to carry the flowers is allergic to the smelly ones, like star gazer lillies. A really good alternative is alstroemerias, they're gorgeous and don't smell.





The bookmarks is a killer idea, finally a favor I would actually use. Below is a link to some really good readings, especially if you're into fantasy books. You can't go wrong with Mercedes Lackey. I love all her stuff but the wedding scene in the Owl book was fabulous.





The cake topper is cute. The fairy flower girl is going to be kind of out of place since there won't be any other fantasy things. However, I'm sure she'll be thrilled, and look fabulous.
Reply:Pink and yellow are Easter colors and not really wedding colors. However, this is your wedding and now-a-days people are doing creative things. I suggest you pick a basic color to accent your pink/yellow so the wedding won't look cheesy. Have your bridesmaids wear ivory/creme or even silver something shimmery or sheer...there bouquets could mostly the same color as their dresses with a hint of pink OR yellow. Have your groomsmen wear same color tux as the bridesmaids with yellow OR pink boutonnieres. For you reception you can incorporate the color that you didn't use in the wedding. For instance if you decided on the pink in the wedding then you should use yellow for the reception along with the ivory or creme or silver. remember the bridesmaids bouquets will have all the colors. Keep your bridesmaids dress color the same but maybe different styles with different accessories. Your flowers are great! I would probably give individual small box cakes (rum) accented with quotes on a ribbon and give your bridesmaids the bookmarks in addition with an engraved book of the date of you wedding. Make sure the fairytale theme is very romantic...Sounds great...Congrats!!!
Reply:I love that you are having HAPPY colors for a summer wedding. For our July wedding, we had those colors, plus lilac and light teal. The girls had print dresses.


Skip the fairytale stuff. Keep things mature. It's not a birthday party.
Reply:Sounds good so far!


The only thing I would change is the bridesmaids opposite-color scheme. You chose two very vibrant colors, with one in each color they may look more like pinatas than bridesmaids. I would do the same color dress and flowers for both, ex: pink dresses with yellow flowers. This creates a tighter, more unified look.
Reply:I think it all sounds very nice. colors are fine for summer. and you have a lot of your personality in there, and I am sure you will add more as you get closer! Good job
Reply:aw that sounds absolutely stunning!!





congratulations!





those ideas would be perfect =]
Reply:Hi and congratulations!





I love all your ideas except the bridesmaids dresses. To me it doesn't matter if you are having 2 or 10 bridesmaids, I just like everyone in 1 color. I think you should either pick the pink OR the yellow. Also, if the girl is in a yellow dress and is carrying yellow flowers....that won't "pop" for the photos...it will all blend together. Either choose pink dresses and yellow flowers or yellow dresses and pink flowers.





All your other ideas sound great! Good luck!
Reply:in ref to #5





i love the idea of an arch with ivy and lights


for a centerpiece idea you can make crystallized branches- save-on-crafts.com has the how to for them


you can put the branches in glass vases on the tables - put some iridescent tinsel in the base and colored led lights to add glow and fantasy to the tables





you can even hang crystals from the branches to add more sparkle





in ref to #4- i love the idea of a book mark - so versatile- the guests can use it to mark cookbooks, books they are reading for themselves or to their kids even.





in ref to #3 - i love snapdragons- that will look so pretty and different too!





in ref to #2-1 - i like the idea of lots of color. that's what i'm doing for my wedding too





PS yes i know for some reason i went backwards with my descriptions lol
Reply:All sounds very pretty. My daughter had bookmarks and I really liked that because it was useful and memorable. Pick a quote that reflects the two of you.
Reply:wow... i think that sounds really nice.. i like how you are bringing the parts of yourselves into the wedding... its showing who you really are and what brought the two of you together.. i think it sounds amazing..
Reply:Your wedding sounds absolutely beautiful! I think that sounds perfect.





Good Luck!


10 pts b.a. plzzzz help!!!?

In snapdragons the inheritance of a lower color of size of leaves are examples of incomplete dominance. When red-flowered plants are crossed with white ones, all the flowers are pink. Similarly, when plants with broad leaves are crossed with plants of narrow leaves, the offspring have intermediate leaves. Cross a homozygous red-flowered, broad-leaved plant with a homozygous white-flowered narrow leaved plant. What kind of offspring are produced in the F1 generation? Now cross two of these plants and find the phenotype ration of the offspring. Explain the relationship of the 9:3:3:1 ration to the one you obtained.





Plz help..this is due monday and im a freshman in H bio and my teacher hates me and i seriously asked for help multiple times but my teach acts like i'm not even there

10 pts b.a. plzzzz help!!!?
OK, first a couple of definitions: for a simple allele (let's call it "A"), the dominant trait is "A" and the recessive is "a"; this is always the convention. Homozygous would be "AA" or "aa" and heterozygous is "Aa" or "aA". Let's say that the "A" allele is "tall" and "a" is "short". In true dominance, both "AA" and "Aa" will be a tall person; in incomplete dominance, "Aa" will be someone of medium height.





Now, on to the problem. A homozygous red, broad plant is RR-BB, and the white, narrow homozygous plant is rr-bb. So when you cross these, the first (F1) generation all have to be Rr-Bb (or rR-bB, but the convention is to always write the capital letter first). So with incomplete dominance, all the F1's will be pink-flowered with medium-width leaves.





Now these are crossed. What can you get? For the flower color you can get RR, Rr and rr, right? But in what ratio? It would be 1:2:1 since you have one RR, two Rr's and one rr (if you don't know how to get this, Google "Punnett Square"). The easiest way to add in the leaf width is to write down all the possible combinations (RRBB, RRBb, RRbb, RrBB, RrBb, Rrbb, rrBB, rrBb and rrbb). Now start going through the F2 generation--you already know that you have one RR, two Rr's and one rr. Start with the RR--it can have one BB, two Bb's and one bb. Put a little tick mark beside the nine combinations as you generate them. Now do the same with Rr--but don't forget that you have **two** of them, so you'll have to put two tick marks each time you get the genotype. Now the rr's. When you get all this done, look at the nine genotypes. If you did it right, for the nine genotypes I wrote above you should get the ratio


1:2:1:2:4:2:1:2:1. Due to incomplete dominance, the phenotype ratio will be the same! If you had true dominance, however, then the RR and Rr genotypes would be the same, as would the BB and Bb. In this case you would group RRBB,RRBb,RrBB and RrBb together. You would also group the rrBB and rrBb together, and group the Rrbb and RRbb together. If you do this, the ratio collapses to 9:3:3:1.





Hope this helps!

Well in order understand genetics you have to actually do it. you just make a punit square. From this you have homozygous meaning the red flower should be RR for dominance and rr for white flower for recessive. Same with broad being BB and narrow bb.








should look like this





______R___________ R


r|_________|_____________|


r|_________|_____________|





and


__B______B


b|_____|_______|


b|_____|_______|


then you have the ratios, then do it for the offspring for the F2 generation.

I bought some flower seeds and they won't come up?

I bought zinnias, wildflower mixes, snapdragons, and some others that are supposed to spread. I planted them according to the directions on the back of the seed packets and nothing has come up yet. Regular watering, tilled soil, etc. The soil was great. The packets said 7-10 days germination. It's been about 14 now. Shouldn't I be seeing something already?

I bought some flower seeds and they won't come up?
Maybe you planted them to deep?
Reply:Did you know that certain seeds like the temperature of the ground a certain temperature before they start growing if you live in a place that is still having some cooler weather you might want to give the ground a little more time for instance for pumpkins to start growing the temperature of the ground needs to be 70 degrees before the pumpkin seeds really start to grow so since it is spring and you did not say where you are at Id give them a little more time.
Reply:depends on soil conditions and temperatures too. Also, look on your seed packets if you still have them, what year where the seeds packed for? If it's a year other than 08 sometimes they lose the germination success rate. Give it a few more days and see if you don't start seeing something!
Reply:you could try starting seeds in your home first with jiffy starter packs, they are little pellets that you add water and seeds to, when they start to grow, you can transplant them outdoors.

Should I be worried about my flowers for tonight?

I have baby wildflowers and snapdragons that I had transplanted out side that are now getting their secondary leaves in. They have been alright when temperatures dropped into the 40's at night but now there is talk of sleet tonight and temperatures falling into the 30's. I have all my flowers covered with little dirt cups. Will they be alright?

Should I be worried about my flowers for tonight?
Unless you have anything that is really frost-sensitive like impatiens or African marigolds, you don't need to worry. Most flower plants can take cold weather without damage. Wildflowers and snapdragons will be fine. After all, wild flowers are wild and have to survive everything Mother Nature throws at them.

Answer these questions?
Since the question states that this is a sex linked recessive we are looking at the X chromosome. If you have 2 recessive X Chromosomes or 1X recessive and a Y you would be colorblind. so


6) The man received the gene from his mom. He received an Y from his dad which cant carry this trait.


He is X+Y crossed with X+(her dad was colorblind)X-(normal vision mom had to give a dominant gene).


so cross of X+ with X+ X+X- would yield 50% of the offspring girls colorblind.


since there is 3 pairs of genotypes that differ we can say 2^3 unique gametes so 8


last one is RR x WW all offspring will be RW(pink)


Tulip Question about 'Rot'?

I have a cluster of tulips planted in a small bed off my back porch. It is facing South and gets full sun all day long. Our soil is almost pure sand (parts look like beach sand) so I mixed in bag of garden soil from HomeDepot. My snapdragons are doing great but I had a few tulip bulbs get nasty rot. One was a complete gonner %26amp; had green mold in all its layers to the core. On one bulb i cut out a circular section of rot..nothing too bad( like the bruise of an apple) and placed it in a sm vase of water. Its roots dangle in the water..and the bulb sits outside it on the neck..its like a hyacinth vase. A few days later it is just starting to sprout, too. All the other tulips outside have already come out of the soil. They're several inches high now. But this one had never even sprouted while in the dirt. Can I keep it like this? Or does it need to go back in the soil?

Tulip Question about 'Rot'?
I'd put it in fresh, clean soil.


Tulips can rot from too much water.
Reply:You're welcome! Glad you got rid of the mold.


Good luck! Report It

Reply:Sounds like a problem I had where your bulbs fail to emerge above ground, or produce severely distorted shoots which then wither and die off. Then below ground, the bulbs turn grey and dry as they rot away to leave only the roots and basal plate.





The cause is the fungus Rhizoctonia tuliparum, which attacks many different types of bulbs as well as tulips.





The cure is to remove and burn infected plants and the surrounding soil. I used a hand held propane torch and with a shovel kinda spread the soil out then torch it. Don't plant other bulbs in the same spot for at least five years. I know that sounds extreme but I checked with Holland Bulb Co. and that's what they suggested I do.

Similarly, when plants with broad leaves are crossed with plants of narrow leaves, the offspring have intermediate leaves. Cross a homozygous red-flowered, broad-leaved plant with a homozygous white-flowered narrow leaved plant. What kind of offspring are produced in the F1 generation? Now cross two of these plants and find the phenotype ration of the offspring. Explain the relationship of the 9:3:3:1 ration to the one you obtained.

Snapdragon


Latin: Antirrhinum majus








The dwarf, open-throated snapdragon is maintained as an inbred line





Continuing our discussion of how garden seeds are produced, we need to consider first the most basic type, the inbred line. In February, when garden fever first begins to bubble up in our souls, display racks of inexpensive seeds magically appear in store isles.





Almost all of these flowers and vegetables are produced as inbred lines. For an example of how new characteristics can be introduced into a plant, I will tell you of Julie Snapdragon, a dwarf, open-faced inbred line.





Snapdragons are cool season annuals from the southern Mediterranean. The Latin name, Antirrhinum majus tells us a lot about the plant. The genus name is from Greek - anti (like) and rhin (nose or snout as in rhinoceros) - and tells us the flowers are like the nose of a dragon, complete with the ability for the mouth to open when the sides of the corolla tube are gently squeezed. The species epitaph means "May," the season when the plant normally blooms.





In its native habitat, snapdragons are winter annuals, with seeds germinating in the fall, growth through the winter and then blooms appearing in the springtime. In central and south Arkansas, we are beginning to see snapdragons offered in the fall as a companion plant for pansies. In northern areas snapdragons don’t usually overwinter. It seems to me that they are only cold hardy to about 15 degrees.





The color range for this member of the Scrophulariaceae family is wide and includes bright reds, pinks, yellows, maroon and white, but not true blues or purples. Architecturally it grows stiffly upright with straight stems and flowers along the ends of the branches in similar fashion to foxglove and penstemons, other members of the family.





The flowers of the figwort family are designed for bee pollination, and snapdragons are specially fitted with a landing pad, a door for entry and a reward for the bee when the task is completed.





But somewhere along the way, a breeder came across an open-faced snapdragon. The flower was shaped more like a funnel than a nose; a snapless snapdragon. This characteristic had the effect of making the flower appear more attractive from a distance because there was more display from each individual blossom.





Snapdragons have never been widely used as "bedding plants," their season of bloom being too short and their height not conforming to the foot tall size that seems to have crept into the notion of what a mass planted flower bed should be. So, in the 1970s, a breeder set out to rectify this problem by developing a dwarf, open faced snapdragon. This little tale illustrates how breeders can use the principles developed by Gregor Mendel and apply them to solve a specific problem.





The open-faced characteristic was found on a tall, cut flower type snapdragon. The dwarf plant had a normal, snapable snapdragon flower. The breeder, whose name I have lost, removed the anthers from the open faced flower and dabbed pollen from the dwarf plant onto the stigma of the open-faced form.





Lacking the technique of a good bumblebee, he only got 30 seeds from this first cross. These were planted out and the plants were remarkably uniform but with normal stature and closed flowers. This told him that both the dwarf and open-faced flower characteristic were recessive traits. Following Mendel’s mathematical approach, he knew that only one in 16 plants would contain both recessive characters.





After the first manual cross, bees were allowed to do the heavy lifting for future pollination efforts. These 30 plants were permitted to cross amongst themselves and the seeds from this population saved. This generation, called the F2 generation, numbered 16,000 plants. One-fourth were dwarf, and three-fourths were tall. Of the 4000 dwarf plants, 1,000 had open flowers. From these he selected 28 plants that had the color range and the strong garden characteristics he sought.





These 28 plants were grown in an isolated patch and seeds saved. These seeds, the F3 generation, were "rogued" for off-type plants and seeds saved from the best. After six generations the line was "fixed" and Julie was ready for a coming-out party. The six generations to fix a line is again a mathematical function. With each generation, the variation is reduced by one-half; after six it has been reduced to the point it approaches zero.





By growing these inbred lines in an isolated patch away from other plants of the same species, inexpensive seed is produced that tempts us the following spring. Most line-produced flower seed is grown in the Central Valley of California around Lompoc.





Snapdragons are easy to grow from seed, but as bedding plants it is best to transplant them as young plants to insure they root-in before they start flowering.





If spring-planted, they should go in the ground while the soil is still a bit cool. They tolerate light frost; so don’t worry about planting early. Plant them in full sun in a well-drained soil. Deadheading is necessary to keep the plants in bloom.





The ever-lengthening raceme means that, at some point, you must simply cut it off and force it to send up new flower stems.

4. a) All of the offspring will be the same (Pp)


b) there can be no heterozygous black tongue because black tongue is recessive.. so i dunno maybe you copied the question wrong? but if you cross the two heterozygotes (Pp x Pp) you will get a genotypic ratio of 1:2:1 and a phenotypic ratio of 3:1


Annuals for Raised Flower Bed - East Facing...need inexpensive, hearty annuals. Suggestions please!?

Thanks in advance!





I have an East facing raised flower bed at the front of our house. Two years in a row I have planted snapdragons and impatiens. Both years, I have had to replace some of the plants because they have wilted and died. Maybe they got too cold or I didn't water enough initially? Not sure. Anyway, last year I replaced the ones that had died. This year there are so many that I'm thinking about taking out the snapdragons and impatiens and starting fresh.





So, does anyone have any suggestions for annuals in an east facing bed that are


-hearty


- take over the space and


- is inexpensive (my husband will not be pleased that I am buying *more* plants!).





The plants need to like partial shade, it doesn't get overly hot in that part of the house. I just want something to fill the space - would there even be something just green?





Anyway, thanks for any help!

Annuals for Raised Flower Bed - East Facing...need inexpensive, hearty annuals. Suggestions please!?
Unless you figure out why your plants are dying it won't matter what you select. Impatiens and snapdragons are among the easiest and most forgiving of annuals and it sounds as if they are good choices for your sun exposure. That leads me to believe that you have a larger problem. When you water do you just sprinkle over the surface or do you give it a good soaking, so that the water can truly penetrate? Many people think that they have watered when in fact they have only moistened the surface. That leads to weak and stressed plants with most of their roots near the surface. Conversely, if your raised beds drain poorly, or not at all you might be overwatering, though with impatiens that is rarely a problem. Have you added any fresh soil in the past couple years? You might have hard, compacted dirt that makes it even more difficult for the plants to settle into. I would look beyond the plants themselves and try to figure out what is causing their failure. One plant that I will suggest, because it enjoys the same conditions as impatiens and looks lovely with it, is annual salvia. It comes in a wide range of colors, is more drought tolerant than impatiens, and blooms just as long and vigorously.


I wish you all the best of luck.
Reply:Hostas. You can get several different varities and you would have green up until winter (they will die back but come back up early spring) Summer time you will have the flowers. Some have white, some purple. I have hostas growing in all my shady beds and the varigated varieties can take sun too.


You and your husband would be happy. Plant a few and in a year or so you can divide them and have more.

How do you solve this?

By using the subsitution/elimination method...





A florist will make up bouquets of different flowers. The rates and bouquets are listed below. If the flowers cost the same individually or in a bouquet, how much does one orchid cost?





Small bouquet:


2 snapdragons, 1 rose, 1 orchid $8


Medium bouquet:


5 snapdragons, 3 roses, 2 orchids $19


Large bouquet:


8 snapdragons, 5 roses, 5 orchids $38





Ah, I'd really appreciate the clarification! It's a study question of mine and I'm a bit confused..

How do you solve this?
If we let s = snapdragons, r = roses and o = orchids, then:


Small bouquet: 2s + r + o = 8


Medium bouquet: 5s + 3r + 2o = 19


Large bouquet: 8s + 5r + 5o = 38


From 1)


o = 8 - r - 2s


Substituting into 3)


8s + 5r + 5(8-r-2s) = 38


8s + 5r + 40 - 5r - 10s = 38


-2s = -2


s = 1


We can now solve the first two simultaneously.


2 + r + o = 8


r + o = 6


o = 6 - r


5 + 3r + 2o = 19


3r + 2(6-r) = 14


3r + 12 - 2r = 14


r = 2


Finally, this lets us solve for o:


o = 6 - r


= 4





So, the snapdragons cost $1 each, the roses $2 each, and the orchids $4 each.





You have to be careful picking your substitutions - the only reason this substitution cancelled so well was because I saw that the ratio of roses:orchids in the final question was 1:1, and I knew that by making o the subject of the first equation, I would cancel out the roses in the final equation. It's a skill you learn by practice...





You will learn about matrices some day, which makes these sort of questions a lot easier.
Reply:i have problem with that kind of question too

Snapdragons are popular garden plants that produce brightly colored flowers. When a plant that is homozygous for white flowers is crossed with a plant that is homozygous for red flowers, all offspring are pink. Snapdragons are an example of a plant that exhibits an inheritance pattern called incomplete dominance.





1. Determine the genotype of each parent plant and write them below. Use W to indicate the allele for white flowers and w to indicate the allele for red flowers.





Genotype of homozygous parent plant with white flowers:


Genotype of homozygous parent plant with red flowers:





2. Next, think about the gametes each parent plant will produce. List the alleles in each gamete.


Parent plant with red flowers:


Gamete 1:


Gamete 2:


Gamete 3:


Gamete 4:


Parent plant with white flowers:


Gamete 1:


Gamete 2:


Gamete 3:


Gamete 4:





Thanks so much in advance for all your help.

Biology help please..?
Sorry you hate biology! I'm a biochemist, so I really like it.





Anyway: a plant with white flowers has to be WW, since the presence of a "w" (small letter) allele would make the plant pink. Similarly, for the red one, it has to be ww since the presence of a "W" (capital letter) allele would make *that* one pink. Think of this as a plant with two paint buckets that get mixed together when flowers form. A plant with two white buckets will be white; one with two reds will be red; but one with a white and a red would end up pink.





Now the gametes from the white (WW) plant can only be W, so all four will be W. Same thing for the red one--the only allele the plant has is w, so all four gametes will be w.

Genetics Question?

In snapdragons, red flower color (C^R) is codominant with white (C^R), the heterozygotes being pink; the normal (broad) leaves (L^B) are codominant with narrow (grass-like) leaves (L^N), the heterozygotes having leaves of medium breadth. If a red-flowered, broad-leaved plant is crossed with a white-flowered, narrow-leaved one, what will be the phenotypes and their expected ratio in the F2 generation?

Genetics Question?
The principles that govern heredity were discovered by a monk named Gregor Mendel in the 1860's. One of these principles, now called Mendel's law of segregation, states that the alleles for a trait separate when gametes are formed. These allele pairs are then randomly united at fertilization. Mendel arrived at this conclusion by performing monohybrid crosses. These were cross-pollination experiments with pea plants that differed in one trait, for example pod color.





Mendel began to wonder what would happen if he studied plants that differed in two traits. Would both traits be transmitted to the offspring together or would one trait be transmitted independently of the other? From his experiments Mendel developed the principle now known as Mendel's law of independent assortment.





Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment





Mendel performed dihybrid crosses (mating of parent plants that differ in two traits) in plants that were true-breeding for two traits. For example, a plant that had green pod color and yellow seed color was cross-pollinated with a plant that had yellow pod color and green seeds. In this cross, the traits for green pod color (GG) and yellow seed color (YY) are dominant. Yellow pod color (gg) and green seed color (yy) are recessive.

Reply:umm possibly the worst way to go about solving these types of questions is through guess and check it works .0000000001% of the time and i almost guarantee you will never finish a math test if you guess. So to go about solving this type of problem you just solve it like a regular two variable simo equation





first you need to make three equations since you have three unknowns.





let x = snapdragons y = roses and z = orchids





EQUATIONS:





2x + y + z = 8


5x + 3y + 2z = 19


8x + 5y + 5Z = 38





Now that we have three equations just pick one of them in this case i pick 8x + 5y + 5z = 38. Since we are looking to find out z first we can take out x and y first ill start off with x.





40x + 20y + 20z = 160


40x + 24y + 16z = 152


-40x - 25y - 25z = -190





After we find a common multiple of x which is 40 we can now use linear combination on the two equations above -40x - 25y - 25z = -190. You should get





-5y - 5z = -30


-y - 9z = -38





Now we take out y so





-5y - 5z = -30


5y +45z = 190





combine and you get


40z = 160


4z = 16


z = 4





So Orchids cost 4 dollars to find out what dragons and roses cost just plug in z to find out y and x. So for example to find out y just plug z into the equations -y - 9z = -38. Then after you find y just plug z and y into one of the three variable equations.





Although there is another way easier way to solve it which is to use matrices. Its pretty much impossible to show you this other method using yahoo answers.

i wish i could help u i failded all my math classes lmaoo :)
Reply:uh.. i dont really get the question, but one orchid is $8. (if thats what its asking?)
Reply:Answer: Orchid = $4





Setup the equations


2s+1r+1c = 8 (c=orchid)


5s+3r+2c=19


8s+5r+5c=38





3 equations, 3 unknowns can be solved.





The first equation can be multiplied by (-5) to eliminate two variables from the third equation





(-5)(2s+1r+1c) = (8)(-5)





-10s-5r-5c=-40


Add this to third equation, yields


-2s = -2


s=1





Now that you know snapdragons are $1. Plug 1 in for s





2+r+c=8


5+3r+2c=19


8+5r+2c=38





This is an easier set of equations. Just do a substitution to get the final answer.
Reply:Set it up into a system of equations.


x = snapdragons


y = roses


z = orchids


2x + y + z = 8


5x + 3y + 2z = 19


8x + 5y + 5z = 38


Use two equations to eliminate a variable, solve for another, plug it into remaining ones - and there you go!

Is it possible (maybe not probable) for members of different plant families to cross pollinate?

One being Caryopteris × clandonensis (bluebeard bush, a flowering shrub) and antirrhinum (snapdragons, an annual). The families are Plantaginaceae and Lamiaceae respectively. Basically, I have a bluebeard bush and snapdragons in the same bed. Both flowered last year. I let the snapdragons reseed themselves into the bed. This year, I have many plants in this bed that seem to be a cross of these two plants: they are coming up with leaves that are the exact same yellow color and serrated shape as the leaves of the bluebeard bush, but are on stems with the same leaf layout patterns as the snapdragons. I first thought they were some sort of weed. If it is a weed, I have never seen its like before and it is found no where else on my property other than the bed with the bluebeard and the snapdragons. Most of my snapdragons have not yet flowered - so I don't know what kind of flowers these will have, if inded they have any.

Is it possible (maybe not probable) for members of different plant families to cross pollinate?
It is very unlikely that you can cross them due to a great genetic distance.





One is an annual and the other a woody plant and the resulting cross would be very biochemically unstable.





However, special scientific labs may remove a desirable gene from plant a, and insert it in place of an undesirable gene on plant b.





An american elm tree with african frog genes exists..... heres the link to the article... its on page 3, second to last paragraph.

Genetics question?

when red-flowered snapdragons are crossed with white-flowered snapdragons, all of the f1 plants will have pink flowers. If Mendel had used snapdragons instead of pea plants, he would have had difficulty in formulating his principle of





please provide an explanation





a)mutation


b)multiple alleles


c)sex-linked traits


d)dominance

Genetics question?
Babygurl the answer is obviously DOMINANCE.





It is important to know that peas are of complete dominance while snapdragons are incompletely dominant. Had Mendel used snapdragons in his experiment he would not arrive at the 3:1 ratio typical for complete dominance instead he would get a 1 ratio for the F1 because incomplete dominance result in the mixing of colors.





Hope this helps...
Reply:Mendel was lucky in that his pea plants has complete dominant traits in that you have two alleles ( one dominant, one recessive eg A and a) that give 3 genotypes eg AA, Aa and aa and TWO phenotypes eg ummm the dominant and recessive phenotype which could be Tall, Green, Round or whatever.





In snapdragons if you put have RR=red and rr=white you will get Rr=PINK....this is called incomplete dominance where you don't show the dominant triat with Rr but an intermediate pink.....as Mendel was lucky he did not get this in peas, he may not have got his results as quickly as he did before ( prior to this most people thought if you got intermediate characters/traits when mixing alleles.....so the long answer to the Q is d0 dominance.

When to plant in zone 6??

HELP! I live in zone 6 and everyone says plant Memorial Day weekend, for seeds and seedlings. I tried that last year nothing I planted from seed grew except for some moon flower. I have good soil and watered regularly. Does anyone know when the earliest I can plant for better results? I hate to put in so much work and end up with empty flower beds as I have three very large ones, one complete sun and two sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon. I would appreciate any help I can get. I'm looking to plant delphinium (sp?), snapdragon, alyssum, salvia and the like.

When to plant in zone 6??
I live in Zone 6 and I am in Tenn. I also own a greenhouse business. I always tell people that Mother's Day is the time to plant with the danger of frost and/or freezes to be over. Even if you put delphiniums or snapdragons out now, then they may get a little bit, but will come out of it. Check with your local garden business. alyssum also likes it cool, but will not take a freeze.


Genetics Problems...?

Ectrodactyly (lobster claw) is an inherited physical defect in humans occurring in homozygous recessive individuals.


a. If 2 normal parents had a daughter affected with this condition %26amp; a normal son, what is the probability that the son will be a carrier of the recessive allele?


b. If this son married a normal woman whose mother was afflicted with lobster claw, what is the probability that a 2nd child would be afflicted if the 1st child born to these 2 ppl had this physical defect?





A cross between 2 snapdragon plants produced 83 plants with pink flowers, 35 with red, and 36 with white.


a. What is the genotype %26amp; phenotype of each parent?


What phenotypes %26amp; in what proportions would you expect among progeny of the following crosses:


b. pink x pink


c. red x red


d. red x white


e. pink x white








I am still confused on how to do these

Genetics Problems...?
snapdragons





parents:


phenotype:both are pink


genothype: both are Ww (W=white allel, w=red allele)





ratios of offspring phenotypes:


b: pink x pink: pink:white:red = 2:1:1


c: red x red: all red


d: red x white: all pink


e: pink x white: pink:white = 1:1








Note: answer above: the probability that a child is born with the affliction under these circumstances is ALWAYS 1/4. This is not changed by the fact that there was an earlier child already born with the disease. The 1/16 probability is only right if you were asking "what is the probability that 2 children are born with the disease". This is different from the question above.
Reply:Use Punnett Square to determine your answer.
Reply:a. Well if two normal parents have this, and the disease only shows up with homozygous recessive, and they have a daughter affected by the condition (xx) then they both must be Xx. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to genetically produce a child that is xx. So the probability they would have a NORMAL son who is a carrier of the recessive allele would be 50%.


Because - (Xx)(Xx) produces the following genotype percentages:


1/4 XX; 1/2 Xx; 1/4 xx





b. This would be yet another (Xx)(Xx) cross - since the mother would have passed the recessive x to the daughter (even though she's normal, since it requires homozygosity to show up phenotypically). So the percentage of having TWO children that have the disease is 1/4*1/4 which is 1/16.


(First child probability * Second Child probability)





The second one I'm too lazy to read, sorry.

Looking for things to eat. (I am slowly descent the tree, looking for a big stick.)

NO, don’t do that! (OK, I ought to have listened…phew!)

i do like your poems...i love the little asides in the brackets.
Reply:I will forgive you for your "I am slowly descent the tree,..." for you have Darwininize a new creature that apparently even has Frank worried, the VINEGAROON. Sounds like a creature suited well for old knights to joust. Size does have an advantage once fear is lessened by opiate libations. Another delightful read. Sundays seem to suit you. You must have been to church already.





Edit: Sneaky, there is such a creature, I just hit the link you posted. I will have to subtract points now for lack of creativity with the name but I will add points for posting the link in your poem so its a wash.

GENETICS...Epistasis?

1. Snapdragon flowers come in three colors: red, pink, and white. Which of the following statements about this plants flower color is NOT true?


a. Snapdragon flower color is an example of incomplete dominance.


b. Snapdragon flower color is an example of epistasis.


c. Red flowers are dominant over white.


d. Pink flowers must be heterozygous.





2. In Mendel's experiments, the characters for height were incompletely dominant, such that TT are tall, Tt are intermediate and tt are short. What would be the phenotypes resulting from crossing a true breeding short plant to a true breeding tall plant?


a. ¾ tall, ¼ short


b. ¼ tall, ½ intermediate, ¼ short


c. all intermediate


d. can not be determined





3. Blood from people with AB blood type shows characteristics of both type A and type B blood. Their blood phenotype is not an intermediate between type A and type B. This is an example of:


a. Incomplete dominance


b. Codominance


c. Pleiotropy


d. Non-genetic influences

GENETICS...Epistasis?
1) c, no trait is 'dominant' when you have incomplete dominance or epistasis





2) c





3) b -- shows both traits


Runescape help plz?

what monster drops grimy snapdragon and were can i find it?

Runescape help plz?
Like the other person said it can be bought at the Brimhaven agility arena for 10 agility tickets. Make sure you have those tickets or else it denies you. For more information THE MOST ACCURATE site is zybez.com


DO NOT GO TO RUNEHQ.COM!!!! They haven't updated their site for many years! Zybez even has this downloadable shortcut to runescape for FREE!!!!!!! I should know my friend has. If its not on zybez google it.
Reply:i did the gnome restaraunt mini for many months and got lots of snapdragons.. what you do is, you talk to the gnome (his name is gianne jr.) in the tree gnome stronghold, and he wants you to deliver a good item to a random gnome in runescape.





you have to cook the item, and then bring it to him. you all the ingrediants are very cheaply sold in a shop that has a range to cook it on. it only takes around 10 coins, and 1 minute to cook. when you deliver the food to the gnome he gives you a random reward.





you get things like, noted gems (opals, jades, sapphires, emeralds, rubies, diamonds) gnome balls, half keys, birds nests, blood runes -- and them alsonoted herbs. either snapdragons, or toadflax. very rarely you can get a gnome scarf, or gnome goggles as a reward. it's awesome money -- but i usually get around 30 snapdragons an hour when i play it.





hope that helps.
Reply:lvl 2 men should drop it they drop alot of high herbs there in edgeville seers village basically anywere in runescape also choas druids in edgeville dungeon
Reply:It can be purchased at the Brimhaven agility arena for 10 agility tickets. I would also suggest the Grand Exchange.. Not sure if they sell it there, but wouldn't hurt to try.
