You have travelled back in time and entered the body of yourfavorite monk(Gregor Mendel).You find yourself in his gardenobersering red and white flowering pea plants.You do a quickinventory on the phenotypes that are present in the garden anddetermine that there are 74 white flowering plants and 365 redflowering plants.Using this information and assuming the populationof pea plants in the garden is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrum 1) Determine how many of the red flowering plants arehomozygous dominent (RR) 2)How many are heterozygous (Rr) please round your answersaccordingly also no partial plant Lastly please work out and explain problem Thank you You have travelled back in time and entered the body of yourfavorite monk(Gregor Mendel).You find yourself in his gardenobersering red and white flowering pea plants.You do a quickinventory on the phenotypes that are present in the garden anddetermine that there are 74 white flowering plants and 365 redflowering plants.Using this information and assuming the populationof pea plants in the garden is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrum 1) Determine how many of the red flowering plants arehomozygous dominent (RR) 2)How many are heterozygous (Rr) please round your answersaccordingly also no partial plant Lastly please work out and explain problem Thank you

Explanation / Answer

Let's see here... You have 74 White Plants, the obvious Recessive Gene in this case.You also have 365 Red Plants, which are Rr or RR. The ratio appearsto be 17/100 White, and 83/100 are Red. For every white plant,there are 5 red plants. Because you have 1 white plant for every 5 red plants, RR has aequal rate to rr. Therefore, 1 out of every 5 red plants are RR.Out of the 365, 73 are RR. Out of those 365, 80% are Rr. Therefore, 292 are Rr. I hope that helps! Please feel free to ask other questions if you'dlike.
