Fruit color in a particular plant is controlled by a set of three quantitative traits that work in an equal and additive manner. Each trait has two alleles (i. e., A and a); each allele represented by a capital letter produces one dose of yellow pigment, while alleles represented with lower case letters do not produce any pigment at all. How many different shades of yellow fruit color are there

7

Explanation:

The number of distinct shades of fruit color would be 7. It is given that the color is dominated by a group of three QTL(quantitative traits) with each trait having two alleles(A,a). Out of these two alleles, one represented by a capital letter(A) generates a single dose of yellow pigment while the latter represented by a smaller case letter(a) does not generate any pigment. Since there is no environmental effect, the number of various yellow shades would be 7 through the combinations of yellow and colorless pigments(A/a, A/a, A/a, A).

lunar landing mission. apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the moon. the first steps by humans on another planetary body were taken by neil armstrong and buzz aldrin on july 20, 1969. the astronauts also returned to earth the first samples from another planetary body.

explanation:

affects the water bodies: excessive use of fertilizers causes eutrophication. the fertilizers which are used on plants affect the quality of land on which it is used, further causing erosion of soil. the fertilizers used on plants contain harmful chemical fumes which affect the environment.
