Hexaploid wheat was produced synthetically by He and co-workers. They mated the diploid species, Aegilops tauschii, and the tetraploid species, T. turgidum. Which of the following is an accurate statement about the relative contribution of each parent to the genome of the hexaploid offspring?

1) Aegilops tauschii contributed four chromosomes by failing to complete meiosis after chromosome replication, and T. turgidum contributed two chromosomes. [<-- this one is not correct]

2) Aegilops tauschii contributed two chromosomes, and T. turgidum contributed four chromosomes.

3) The hexaploid number appeared following mitosis with no subsequent cell division.

4) Each parent contributed equally to the genome of the offspring

2.) Aegilops tauschii contributed two sets of chromosomes, and T. turgidum contributed four sets of chromosomes.

Explanation:

The mating of diploid and tetraploid species is one breeding method which has proven majorly satisfactory with the largest and most prominent mass producers of seedlings for uniform high-quality progeny, has been the mating of the tetraploid of good form with the free and prolific diploid.

The result yields a good progeny. This is due to the fact that the tetraploid parent influences twice as much as the diploid parent do. It's traits, form and color are more pronounced. This also implies that the diploid contributes two chromosomes and the tetraploid contributes four chromosomes. When hexaploid wheat was produced synthetically by He and co-workers, they mated diploid Aegilops tauschii, and the tetraploid species, T. turgidum. This implies that Aegilops tauschii contributed two chromosomes and T. turgidum contributes four chromosomes.

the match lol

if your own plato the answer is b. the fern transitioned from sporophyte generation to gametophyte generation.
