Want to know:
In pea plants, the purple allele is sufficient for making purple flowers, even if one of the homologous chromosomes carries the white allele. Which of the following statements are true in this case?A. Purple flowers will be produced, unless the enzyme that prevents the synthesis of purple pigment is present.B. The white allele is the recessive allele.C. One purple allele results in enough purple pigment for the flowers to be purple.D. The purple allele is the dominant allele.E. White flowers are the dominant trait, unless the enzyme that leads to the synthesis of white pigment is absent.

- You have sampled a population of toads over three years for the BrrP locus. The first year, you calculated these allele frequencies: B = 0.75 and b = 0.25. The second year, you determined that B = 0.66 and b = 0.34. What can you conclude from these data?a. This toad population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and not all of the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinberg law are valid for it.b. This toad population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and not all of the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinberg law are valid for it.c. This toad population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and all of the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinberg law are valid for it.d. This toad population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and all of the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinberg law are valid for it.
- Multiple alleles are basically when a certain gene has three or more alleles. Meanwhile, polygenic traits are traits that are controlled by multiple genes instead of just one. An example of multiple alleles would be for rabbit coat colors (C gene). If the C gene comes in four common alleles: C, cch, ch, and c, these alleles would be considered as multiple alleles of the C gene. An example of polygenic traits is height. This is because height is influenced by many different bones (leg, torso, even neck).
