Two parent plants are crossed. The phenotypes of 1,000 offspring plants are shown below. What are the most likely genotypes of the parent plants? A. ANL/ANL, YGR/YGR for parent 1, and anl/anl, ygr/ygr for parent 2.
B. ANL/anl, YGR/ygr for parent 1, and ANL/anl, YGR/ygr for parent 2.
C. ANL/anl, YGR/ygr for parent 1, and anl/anl, ygr/ygr for parent 2.
D. anl/anl, YGR/ygr for parent 1, and anl/anl, YGR/ygr for parent 2.

C

Explanation:

The data shows that each phenotype occurs about one-fourth of the time. That means that there are about equal numbers of purple-stemmed and green-stemmed plants, and about equal numbers of green-leaf and yellow-leaf plants. Of the four choices, answer A can be eliminated because all of the offspring of an ANL/ANL plant will have purple stems. Answer D can be eliminated because all of the offspring of two anl/anl parents will have green stems.

the food storage products of chrysophytes are oils or the polysaccharide laminarin.   formerly classified as plants, the chrysophytes contain the photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll a and c all but the yellow-green algae also contain the carotenoid pigment fucoxanthin.
