It is possible for organisms with the same phenotype have different genotypes. Justify this statement using the data from Mendelâs monohybrid cross experiment wherein the two Parent plants have: Parent 1: purple flowers x Parent 2: white flowers.
A pair of alleles, P and p determines spot colour in the purple sea hare, an attractive sea slug that is a popular addition to a saltwater aquarium. PP and Pp sea hares have light purple spots, and pp sea hares have bright yellow spots. To avoid the environmental impact to coral reefs caused by the poorly regulated and destructive ornamental trade, a local aquarium shop owner wants to breed some sea hares to sell. Because they are very attractive, yellow-spotted purple sea hares are in high demand and can be sold for much more money than the drab purple sea hares. However, true-breeding yellow-spotted sea hares breed poorly (i.e. not very fertile). So, the shop owner purchases a pair of purple-spotted sea hares, and these mate and produce, in the F1, 25 purple and 7 yellow-spotted offspring. Given these results, what is the best strategy for this breeder to produce more yellow-spotted sea hares? (hint: you need to calculate the expected frequency of the yellow-spotted offspring for both scenarios below) Circle the best breeding strategy: a) Random crosses between pairs of F1s b) F1 backcross to parents c) Circle the best strategy (a or b)
