H. V. Wilson worked with sponges to gain some insight into exactly what was responsible for holding adjacent cells together. He exposed two species of differently pigmented sponges to a chemical that disrupted intercellular junctions, and the cells of the sponges dissociated. Wilson then mixed the cells of the two species and removed the chemical that caused the cells to dissociate. Wilson found that the sponges reassembled into two separate species. The cells from one species did not interact or form associations with the cells of the other species.

How do you explain the results of Wilson's experiments?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Assume that three loci, each with two alleles (A and a, B and b, C and c), determine the differences in height between two homozygous strains of a plant. These genes are additive and equal in their effects on plant height. One strain (aabbcc) is 10 cm in height. The other strain (AABBCC) is 22 cm in height. The two strains are crossed, and the resulting F1 are interbred to produce 1000 F2 progeny. what is number of F2 progeny having intermediate height?

A plant height in Maize is control by 3 pair of polygene .Two varieties of maize averaging 120 and 60 inches in height, respectively, are crossed. The F1 progeny is quite uniform averaging 40 inches in height. What is proportional of F2 progeny that is display phenotype either 120 cm or 60 cm height?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Plant having height 6 cm are allowed to cross with plant having height 2 cm , all F1 progeny having height uniform 4 cm were allowed selfing to produced F2 progeny in which 3 plant out of  8 having height  4 cm . what are number of polygene involve in that trait ?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Two varieties of maize averaging 120 and 80 inches in height, respectively, are crossed. The F1 progeny is quite uniform averaging 100 inches in height. If height is control by 3 pair of polygene, what is proportional of averaging phenotype in their F2 progeny?

#Question id: 5434

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Plant height of wild Solanum nigrum is controlled by polygene. A pure line plant with 60 cm height was cross to pure line plant having 20 cm height .All F1 plant having uniform height 40 cm. F1 plant was allowed to self-fertilization to produced 4/64 proportional of F2 plant having height 20 cm . What is number of polygene governing plant height?
