Imagine that you are performing a cross involving seed texture in garden pea plants. You cross true-bleeding round and wrinkled parents to obtain F1 offspring. Which of the following experimental results in terms of numbers of plants are closest to what you expect in the F2 progeny?6:10:190 round seeds:wrinkled seeds 810 round seeds:wrinkled seeds 810 wrinkled seeds 405.335 round seeds:wrinkled seeds

610:190 round seeds: wrinkled seeds

Explanation:

A cross between two true breeds, involves crossing two parents that are each homozygous for the traits they carry.

A cross between a true breeding round parent (RR) and a true breeding wrinkled plant (rr), will produce all heterozygous offspring:

Rr : 100% in the F1 generation.

When these heterozygous offspring are crossed, Rr x Rr, the proportion obtained genotypically in the second filial generation is:

25% homozygous round (RR)50% heterozygous (Rr)25% homozygous wrinkled (rr)

Considering the importance of dominance in phenotypic expression, round seeds being dominant over wrinkled seeds, indicates that about 75% of the offspring are expected to appear round and 25% expected to appear wrinkled. Putting this phenotypic proportion into perspective,

610:190 round seeds:wrinkled seeds, is the ratio in line with the proportion expected to see in the F2 generation.

Environmental science studies the interactions between the physical, chemical, and biological components of the environment, including their effects on all types of organisms. earth science (also known as geoscience), is an inclusive term for all sciences related to earth (geology, meteorology, oceanogr maphy, etc).  although environmental and earth science cover essentially the same material, environmental science places greater emphasis on the biological realm, while earth science places greater emphasis on the physical realm.    environmental and earth science study the interactions of four major systems or “spheres” (figure 8.6).  the  geosphere  consists of the core, mantle and crust of the earth.the  atmosphere  contains all of the earth’s air and is divided into troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and ionosphere.the  hydrosphere  contains all of the solid, liquid and gaseous water on earth, extending from the depths of the sea to the upper reaches of the troposphere where water is found.  ninety-seven percent of the hydrosphere is found in salty oceans, and the remainder is found as vapor or droplets in the atmosphere and as liquid in ground water, lakes, rivers, glaciers and snowfields.  the  biosphere  is the collection of all earth’s life forms, distributed in major life zones known as biomes:   tundra, boreal forest, temperate deciduous forest, temperate grassland, desert, savannah, tropical rainforest, chaparral, freshwater, and marine.although the four systems have their unique identities, there is substantial interaction between them.  environmental scientists study the effects of events in one sphere on the other spheres. for example, a volcanic eruption in the geosphere may cause profound direct and indirect effects on the hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere as follows: example 1 (volcano)    on may 18, 1980, mount saint helens, in the state of washington, erupted.  this event altered the surrounding environment, and provided scientists with an opportunity to study the effects of volcanic eruptions on the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere.  such studies are vital because volcanic eruptions will continue to occur, and will have increasing impact on humans as people continue to settle lands closer to dormant volcanoes. the following are but a few of the myriad of interactions resulting from a volcanic
