Abstract:
Genetic diversity analysis of brown cotton Xincai 1 and Xincai 2 and green cotton Xincai 3 and Xincai 4 and other 47 color cottons was conducted by the random amplified polymorphism DNA (RAPD) techniques, using 6 random primers. Cluster and similarity analysis of these cottons showed that the differences in genetic relationship and similarity among the brown cottons, green cottons and brown-green cottons are not remarkable. The results also reflect that the genetic bases of the brown and green cottons are narrow, and they are at the same genetic diversity level. These results are probably due to the same basic germplasms, the same breeding aims and the similar breeding approaches.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal chance to...
