Among the population size of 500, 50 of 150 heterozygous
individuals showing polydoctily. Then what is the penetrance
of that population
Answer / biotechnology
Penetrance is the " % of total heterozygous individuals
showing particular phenotype"
So
50/150 x 100 = 33%

What are the differences between Genetic Engineering and breeding?
In cucumbers normal leaves (N) are dominant to curled leaves (n) and elongated fruit (L) is dominant to spherical fruit and these genes are linked on the same chromosome. If a pure-breeding normal-leaved, elongated fruit cucumber is crossed with a curled-leaved, spherical fruit cucumber, what will be the phenotype of the F1? the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
