About 70% of Americans perceive a bitter taste from the chemical phenylthiocarbamide (PTC). The ability to taste this chemical r

esults from a dominantallele (T) and not being able to taste PTC is the result of having two recessive alleles (t). Albinism is also a single locus trait with normal pigment being dominant(A) and the lack of pigment being recessive (a). A normally pigmented woman who cannot taste PTC has a father who is an albino taster. She marries a homozygous, normally pigmented man who is a taster but who has a mother that does not taste PTC. What are the genotypes of the possible children (choose all that apply)

The genotype for the possible children is 'AATt, AAtt, Aatt, AaTt'.  Woman has normal pigment which means she must have at-least one' 'A. her father is albino and albino allele is recessive , so his genotype is 'aa'. Then 'Aa' genotype is present in skin.

Woman cannot taste PTC because the ability ti taste PTC is dominant .So 'tt' genotype is present for tasting trait. Putting both the trait the woman's genotype is 'Aatt'.

(PTC) Phenylthiocarbamide tasting is  a trait governed by pair of alleles ,  'T' is for tasting dominant and recessive 't' is for non- tasting.The genotype of parents perform a punnett square to determine the F1 offspring. And the genotype of possible children can be determine.

Explanation:

Honey bees are flying insects that helps in the pollination of plants as they collect nectar and pollen from plants for food. As the name implies, they are known for the production of honey.

The honey bee dance helps in social organization of the honey-bees which is established by the living of all individuals within the colony and they show the mutual cooperation among the members of the colony, and exhibit the overlapping genera­tions.

WAGGLE DANCE is the dance that provides honey bees information about both the direction and distance of food for the colony. It consists of two phases:

- the WAGGLE phase and

- return phase which occurs in a regular alteration pattern by foragers. It involves running through a small figure-eight pattern.
