In watermelons, bitter fruit (B) is dominant to sweet fruit (b), and yellow spots (S) are dominant to no spots (s). The genes fo

r these two characteristics assort independently. A homozygous plant that has bitter fruit and yellow spots is crossed with a homozygous plant that has sweet fruit and no spots. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the sweet, unspotted parent, what phenotypic proportion is expected in the offspring

If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the sweet, unspotted parent, the phenotypic proportion that is expected in the offspring will be in the ratio of 1:1:1:1.

<h3>What is Backcross?</h3>

Backcross may be defined as a type of cross where the F1 hybrid is crossed with either the recessive or dominant traits.

This question typically represents a dihybrid cross implicating two genes, one coding for fruit taste and the other for spot color. The allele for bitter taste (B) and yellow spot (S) is dominant over the allele for sweet taste (b) and no spot (s) respectively.

So, a heterozygous F1 resulting from a cross between a purebred dominant (bitter fruit, yellow spot) and purebred recessive (sweet fruit, no spot) will have a BbSs genotype.

When the F1 hybrid BbSs is backcrossed with the sweet, unspotted parent (bbss), the phenotypes with their proportions are given below:

  • Bitter fruit, yellow spot (BbSs, 1)
  • Bitter fruit, no spot (Bbss, 1)
  • Sweet fruit, yellow spot (bbSs, 1)
  • Sweet fruit, no spot (bbss, 1).

The Punnett square of this cross is described below:

Therefore, if an F1 plant is backcrossed with the sweet, unspotted parent, the phenotypic proportion that is expected in the offspring will be in the ratio of 1:1:1:1.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: Sample 1 then, has more variety of proteins but less quantity of each one, while sample 2 has less variety but more quantity of the two proteins present.

Explanation:

Proteins are molecules found in the cells of all living organisms. A protein is composed of monomers called amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. To analyze proteins, a technique called SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) is used. <u>This technique is used to separate proteins according to their electrophoretic mobility, depending on polypeptide chain length, molecular mass, post-translational modifications and other factors</u>. SDS (sodium dodecylsulfate) is an anionic surfactant compound that breaks non-covalent bonds in proteins, denatures them causing these protein molecules to lose their native conformation and provides the polypeptide with a negative charge that is proportional to the chain length (the number of amino acids) and, therefore, to the molecular mass of the protein. The electrostatic repulsion created by the binding of SDS to the protein is one of the causes of the protein losing its native conformation, thus eliminating the differences in conformation of the different proteins to be separated in the gel.

An electric current is applied to the gel where the proteins are seeded, causing the negatively charged proteins to migrate through the gel in the direction of the anode (positively charged region). Short proteins will move more easily and faster through the pores of the gel, while larger proteins will find it more difficult to do so. After a certain time, the proteins will have migrated according to their size (measured in kDa or kiloDaltons). After electrophoresis, the gel should be stained with Coomassie blue or silver stain, allowing visualization of the separated proteins. After staining, the different proteins will appear as distinct bands on the gel. In addition, the higher the amount of a protein, the more intense the color of its band will be.

Extract No. 1 shows three bands: 25, 30 and 35 kDa. <u>This means that it has three different proteins</u>, each with a different molecular weight. Extract number 2 shows two bands: 25 and 35 kDa. <u>It means that this sample has only 2 proteins. And being bands of higher intensity, we can say that there is more of each protein.</u>

Sample 1 then, has more variety of proteins but less quantity of each one, while sample 2 has less variety but more quantity of the two proteins present.

lubasha [3.4K]
The process of the development of reproductive cells in males is called Spermatogenesis. Spermatogenesis develops immature germ cells into mature sperm cells. Oogenesis is the process of the development of reproductive cells in females. Fertilization happens when the sperm and egg cells unite.
