A= big apples; r = red apples; a = small apples; r = yellow apples.
you have one tree that produces big yellow apples and another tree that produces small red apples. when the two are crossed, you find that half the offspring trees produce big red apples and half produce big yellow apples. what are the genotypes of the parents?
(a) aarr and aarr
(b) aarr and aarr
(c) aarr and aarr
(d) aarr and aarr
(e) aarr and aarr

AArr and aaRr

Explanation:

The genotype for the big apples is AA whereas the genotype of the small apples is aa. Let the genotype of red apples be RR and the genotype of yellow apples is rr.

The cross between yellow big apples and small red apples can be done as follows:

AArr   ×    aaRr/aaRR. (Since, the Red apple is dominant trait it can express itself in heterozygous condition.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
