Question

You find that there are 3 addictive genes that contribute equally to a diploid sunflower's ability to produce oil. The homozygous recessive alleles produce 10 mL of oil, but a sunflower with a homozygous dominant arrangement for all 3 genes can produce 80 mL of sunflower oil. How much (in mL) sunflower oil is produced by each recessive allele?

Step 1

Step 1: Since there are 3 addictive genes that contribute equally to the production of oil in a diploid sunflower, each gene will have an equal effect on the total amount of oil produced. Show more…
