Assume that plant weight is determined by a pair of alleles at each of two independently assorting loci (A and a, B and b) that are additive in their effects. Further assume that each allele represented by an uppercase letter contributes 4 g to weight and that each allele represented by a lowercase letter contributes 1 g to weight. a. If a plant with genotype AA BB is crossed with a plant with genotype aa bb, what weights are expected in the F1 progeny? b. What is the distribution of weight expected in the F2 progeny?

Angiosperm Reproduction

The process of sexual reproduction in flowering plants is known as angiosperm reproduction. In flowering plants, reproduction begins with pollination, or the transfer of male gametes (pollen) from the male reproductive organ (anther) to the female reproductive organ (pistil), and ends with fertilization of the female gametes (egg), which produces a zygote, which then grows to become a mature plant.
