Assume that plant weight is determined by a pair of alleles at each of two independently assorting loci (A and a, B and b) that are additive in their effects. Further assume that each allele represented by an uppercase letter contributes 4 g to weight and that each allele represented by a lowercase letter contributes 1 g to weight. If a plant with genotype AA BB is crossed with a plant with genotype aa bb, what weights are expected in the F_a progeny?
A. 1 g
B. 4 g
C. 8 g
D. 10 g

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: choice D. 10g

Explanation:

The cross is AABB x aabb so the F1 progeny would have AaBb genotype.

The question states that dominant alleles(uppercase letters) contribute 4g and recessive ones contribute 1g to the weight of the plant.

so for AaBb we would have 4+1+4+1=10g.

Answers

Answer:

OA

Explanation:

Chemical energy refers to the energy that is released with reactions involving chemicals. Cellular respiration takes glucose(a five carbon sugar) and breaks it down using glycolysis, then makes ATP(adenisine-triphosphate)(an essential chemical to the energy of life) using the krebs cycle and the electron transport train. This is all to get a surplus ATP, which is a useable CHEMICAL ENERGY source. This energy can be diverted to any system in the body, including the muscular system. Then, the muscles are used MECHANICALLY(look at the types of muscle levers in anatomy) to acheive work, thanks to the CHEMICAL ENERGY produced in cellular respiration. Thus, the answer in OA.

You have decided to examine the dynamic properties of a flagellum. After having isolated flagella from sea urchin sperms, you placed them into an aqueous buffer with a pH of 7.0. Very rapidly, however, you observed that the movement of the isolated flagella stopped. Which hypothesis are you likely to propose to explain that result?

Answers

Answer:

Osmosis

In this case, osmosis has occurred, and that is why the movement of the flagellum stops.

It should be understood that osmosis is the movement of substances from the region of lower concentration to the region of lower concentration through a semi- permeable membrane.

Based on the objective you should feel comfortable calculating expected genotype frequencies when given observed allele frequencies. You should also be able to compare expected genotype frequencies from HWE to observed frequencies and determine if evolution is occurring.Here's a sample problem. You can do this without a calculator!Let's take the noob gene, a gene with two known alleles that determines feather color in the eastern lark. The two alleles, let's call them delta and gamma, can be sequenced. In fact, looking at a population in southern GA, you discover that 60% of the alleles in the population are the delta allele.1. What is the percentage of the gamma allele in the population?2. Even more interesting, based on HWE what is the expected frequency of the population that is homozygous gamma? 3. Now, after surveying an isolated population of eastern larks, you find that 20% of the population is homozygous gama (gamma gamma), 65% heterozygous (gamma delta) and 10% homozygous delta (delta delta) and 5% of the population is a previously undescribed genotype - zeta zeta (homozygous zeta). What can you conclude about evolution in the population and why? If evolution is occurring, which mechanism(s) would be responsible?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

60% of the alleles in the population are the delta allele

1. What is the percentage of the gamma allele in the population?

According to Hardy-Weinberg, the allelic frequencies in a locus are represented as p and q, referring to the allelic dominant or recessive forms. The genotypic frequencies after one generation are p² (Homozygous dominant), 2pq (Heterozygous), q² (Homozygous recessive). Populations in H-W equilibrium will get the same allelic frequencies generation after generation. The sum of these allelic frequencies equals 1, this is p + q = 1.

In the same way, the sum of genotypic frequencies equals 1, this is

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

Being

p the dominant allelic frequency, q the recessive allelic frequency, p²the homozygous dominant genotypic frequency q² the homozygous recessive genotypic frequency 2pq the heterozygous genotypic frequency

According to the sum of the allelic frequencies

p + q = 1

1 equals 100%

100% ------ 1

60%------0.6

40%------0.4

The percentage of gamma allele in the population is 40%.

2. what is the expected frequency of the population that is homozygous gamma?

The genotypic frequencies, F, after one generation are p² (Homozygous dominant), 2pq (Heterozygous), q² (Homozygous recessive).

F(gamma)= p²= 0.4²=0.16 =16%

F(delta)= q²= 0.6²=0.36 = 36%

F (gamma-delta) = 2xp2q= 2 x 0.4 x 0.6 = 0.48 = 48%

3.  20% of the population is homozygous gama (gamma gamma), 65% heterozygous (gamma delta) and 10% homozygous delta (delta delta) and 5% of the population is a previously undescribed genotype - zeta zeta (homozygous zeta). What can you conclude about evolution in the population and why? If evolution is occurring, which mechanism(s) would be responsible?      

20% gamma-gamma

10% delta-delta    

65% gamma-delta  

5% zeta-zeta  

This population has different genotypic frequencies with respect to the population in southern GA:

The gamma genotypic frequency is a little bit higher in the isolated population (16% vs 20%)

The delta genotypic frequency is considerably lower in the isolated population (36% vs 10%)

The heterozygotic genotypic frequency is also higher in the isolated population (18% vs 64%)

It appeared a new phenotype in the isolated population, probably due to a mutation in one of the genes. We can assume that this is a new mutation because its frequency is still low (5%).

Maybe, the mutation occurred in an individual of the isolated population, and with time, this mutation increased its frequency, up to a point of being phenotypically visible. This could be a case of a bottleneck example.

The founder effect is a special case of genetic drift, where a few organisms of one population settles down in a new area carrying the genes of the original population.  

Genetic drift is the random change in the allelic frequency in a population, from one generation to the other. The magnitude of this change is inversely related to the size of the original population. These changes produced by genetic drift accumulate in time, and eventually, some alleles get lost, while some other might get set.      

Founder effect refers to the consequences that occur from the origin of a new population that derives from a small number of founder individuals that come from an ancestral bigger population. This small group shows poor genetic variation and a high possibility of expressing a peculiar allelic composition. Some mutation might occur and it can accumulate in time.

Why are fats considered as high energy compounds?
What is the function of mRNA?
What is the general formula for amino acids?​

Answers

Answer:

1. Fats contain mostly C-H bonds, it has less oxygen therefore making it a high energy compound

2. mRNA plays a vital role in protein synthesis. It's a single stranded RNA molecule that contains genetic information that can be taken outside the nucleus (unlike DNA which cannot leave the nucleus). Its created during transcrption, and is used during translation to create proteins

3. (Look at image)

1. The organic molecules that contain esters of fatty acids and a mixture of compounds are called fats. They provide energy to the body for functioning. They provide slow energy but the most efficient energy.

The amount of calories supplied by fats is twice as compared to carbohydrates and proteins. The excess of fats is stored in the body for future purposes.

2. mRNA is a type of RNA and plays a vital role in the process of translation. It is a single-stranded molecule that contains genetic information transcripted from DNA and is transported out from the nucleus into the cytoplasm.

The main function of mRNA is in protein synthesis. It helps in the formation of amino acid sequence that undergoes modification to form proteins.

3. The general formula of amino acid is [tex]\rm R-CH(NH_{2})-COOH[/tex].

Pigment of chicken feathers is regulated by two genes, the gene for feather pigment C, and a gene that inhibits pigment production, I. A mother chicken, who is heterozygous for gene C, and heterozygous for gene I, is crossed with a father chicken, who is homozygous recessive for the pigment gene, and heterozygous for gene.
1) What are the potential haplotypes of the gametes produced by the mother for these two genes?
2) What are the potential haplotypes of the gametes produced by the father for these two gametes?
3) What is the probability of one of the offspring of these two chickens having pigmented feathers?
4) In a population of 100 chickens, produced from the same parents, how many chickens would you expect to have white feathers?

Answers

Answer:

(1) CI Ci cI ci

(2) CI Ci

(3) 25

(4) 75

Explanation:

Mother is in this case is heterozygous for C & I, genotype of mother would be : CcIi

Father is on other hand is homozygous for C (dominant) and heterozygous for I, genotype : CCIi

1. Gametes produced by the mother will be:

 CI Ci cI ci  by the combinantion of C, I, c, and i alelles present in mothers genotype.

2. Gametes produced by the father :

CI Ci  by the combinantion of alleles present i genotype of father CCIi

3. probability of one of the offspring of these two chickens having pigmented feathers:

 2/8 × 100 = 25% ( punnet is attached)

4. chicken with white feather in population of 100 chickens:

 probability of being white ×  100

probability of being white : 1 - 2/8

thus, (1-2/8) × 100 = 6/8 × 100

The BclI enzyme generates sticky ends, it means that the enzyme recognises and cuts nucleotide sequences without complementary bases, which also have weak hydrogen bonds. The sticky ends are then generated when an enzyme produces unpaired nucleotide ends. Nonetheless, restriction enzymes generally produce blunt ends, i.e., both strands cut at the same site.
