Answer:
Genotype of parents: Ss x ss
Genotype of offsprings: Ss ss
Expected ratio of short to long: 2 : 2 = 1 : 1
The actual ratio in this problem is Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair: 8 : 3
Explanation:
In cats the allele for short hair is dominant over the allele for long hair. (SS or Ss for short hair; ss for long hair).
A short haired male and long haired female have kittens. Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair.
For the parents to have been able to produce long haired offsprings, it means both parents possess one copy each of the recessive traits. Thus we have
Phenotype of parent: A short haired male and long haired female
Genotype of parents: Ss x ss
Genotype of offsprings: Ss ss
Expected ratio of short to long: 2 : 2 = 1 : 1
The actual ratio in this problem is Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair: 8 : 3
Complete question:
Question: When crossing two individuals, the offspring display only one of the two traits found in parents. Which principle of Mendelian genetics is supported by this observation?
a) segregation
b) independent assortment
c) dominance and recessiveness
d) allele frequency
Answer:
c) dominance and recessiveness
Explanation:
According to Mendel's principle of dominance and recessiveness, the alleles of one gene may be dominant or recessive in nature. When present together, only the dominant allele is able to express itself. Therefore, a hybrid individual for a gene would express only the dominant phenotype. In the given cross, the progeny express only one of the two traits found in the parents. This means that the progeny is heterozygous for the trait and is expressing the dominant trait. The recessive trait is not expressed due to the presence of the allele for the dominant trait.
Answer:
The correct answer is option a, that is, 3000 cases.
Explanation:
The measurement of all the individuals getting influenced by the disease at a specific time is known as the prevalence. On the other hand, the measurement of the number of novel individuals that came into contact with a disease during a specific time duration is known as the incidence.
Based on the given question, the number of prevailing cases carried from 2018 to 2019 is 2000, and the new diseases recorded in the year 2019 is 1000 (incidence). Therefore, the prevalence of the disease in 2020 will be 3000 cases.
