Why is genetic diversity important?   2. In pea plants flower color can be purple or white & plants can be tall or dwarf. The offspring of a cross between a true-breeding purple-flowered dwarf plant and a white-flowered tall plant are all purple-flowered and tall (F1).     (a)What are the genotypes of the parents ?  (true-breeding purple-flowered dwarf plant and a white-flowered tall plant) (b) What is the genotype of the F1 offspring ?  (c) What would be the phenotypic ratio if the F1 offspring self-fertilized?  (d) What would be the phenotypic and genotypic ratios if the F1 offspring were crossed with the white-flowered dwarf plant?  (e) What would be the phenotypic and genotypic ratios if the F1 offspring were crossed with a homozygous purple-flowered tall parent plant?   3.

We also discussed how the general form of the linear relationship (i.e., Y = A + Ƅ(X)) is very useful for establishing “cut scores” for our predictor measures. Using the following regression equation, Y = 4 + .5(X), if 10 is considered adequate job performance, what would be the minimum passing score?
