Journal Entry

A scientist is studying the inheritance of two genes, gene R and gene P, in dogs. Each gene is located on a different chromosome. Gene R has two alleles, R and r, and gene P has two alleles, P and p. What are the expected probabilities for the genotypes of gametes produced by a dog with the genotype RrPp?
A) 50% Rr and 50% Pp
B) 50% RP and 50% rp
C) 50% Rp, 25% rP, and 25% rp
D) 25% RP, 25% Rp, 25% rP, and 25% rp

Learning Intentions

• You will learn Mendel's Laws apply to growing and crossing different fast growing plants. 

• You will learn different factors the affect plant growth and predict and then test how the factors influence plant growth.
