1. in corn, the kernels represent the offspring of agenetic cross between two corn plants. the kernelsare the seeds that produce the next generation. eachkernel contains all of the genetic information that willdetermine the characteristics of a new corn plant.
2. in corn, kernels can be purple or yellow. the dominantallele, p, produces a purple kernel. the recessive allele, p, produces a yellowkernel. so, if a kernel contains at least one dominant allele, p, it will be purple. if it contains two recessive alleles, pp, it will be yellow.
3. the corn kernels on your cob are the f2 generation and were obtained by crossingtwo f1 plants. the f1 plants were produced by crossing two parent plants, also knownas the p (parent) generation.
4. trace the inheritance of the dominant and recessive alleles for kernel color byworking backwards. use the think it over questions to accomplish this task.
think it over

what are the possible allele combinations present in the f2 corn kernels? in otherwords, what alleles does a yellow kernel have? what alleles may a purple kernel have?

Fill in the blanks with the numbers is a measure of the resistance to flow. a high liquid has a high resistance to flow and flows slowly. the ancients thought everything in the world was made of 4 we now know that there are 94 naturally occurring and scientists have created another 24 i am certain they will create even more. honey flows slowly because it has a high to flowing. a can be separated by physical means because it contains more than one pure substance and 2 pure substances are not chemically bonded to each other. a cannot be separated by physical means. all matter is made up of all elements are with the same number of protons. if it is just a single or many bonded together, if all of them have the same number of protons, it is an element. in a piece of pure iron metal, all the are joined together, that piece of iron metal is called elemental iron. a single of iron is called elemental iron. a mixture has differences from place to place. we might need a microscope to see them or they might be obvious to the unaided eye. there are surfaces separating it into different phases. a mixture is the same everywhere. it is uniform. there are no surfaces separating it into different phases. if different kinds of atoms (different elements) are bonded together by their electrons, it is called a there are physical means of to isolate the different pure substances in a mixture and there are chemical means of to isolate the different elements in a compound. 1. element 2. compound 3. mixture 4. heterogeneous 5. homogeneous 6. pure substance 7. atoms 8. separation 9. viscosity 10. resistance
