Biology
1 answer:
Maurinko [17]2 years ago
3 0

The correct is option (C) includes bacterial genes that produce a toxin that reduces damage from insect pests.

Due to advancements in plant biology, some plant species can now incorporate unique traits that are typically not found in their species. New and improved plant strains can be created using plant biotechnology. This technology is heavily utilized to advance agriculture.

A particular crystalline insecticidal protein is created by combining a specific gene sequence from the bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis with plants. Bt plant is a common name for these transgenic plants. One such transgenic plant that protects transgenic maize from damaging insects and pests is bt maize.

In cats, the gene for Calico (multicolored) cats is an x-linked trait that is
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Considering the <u>whole progeny</u> (100%), there will be

  • 25% Black male kittens, XBY
  • 0% Calico Male kittens
  • 25% Calico female kittens, XBXR

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • The gene for Calico (multicolored) cats is an x-linked trait and codominant
  • Calico Females receive a "B" and an "R" gene, and have black and orange splotches on white coats. Their genotype is XBXR.
  • Males can only be black or orange, but never calico. Their genotype is XBY and XRY

Cross: a female calico cat with a black male

Parentals)   XBXR    x    XBY

Gametes)  XB  XR       XB   Y

Punnett square)    XB        XR

                   XB   XBXB   XBXR

                    Y      XBY      XRY  

F1) Among the whole progeny:

  •     2/4 = 50%  will be black (female XBXB and male XBY)
  •     1/4  = 25% will be Calico (female XBXR)
  •     1/4  = 25% will be Orange (male XRY)  

   Among females:

  •    1/2 = 50% of females will be black, XBXB
  •    1/2 = 50% of females will be Calico, XBXR

   Among males:

  •    1/2 = 50% of males will be black, XBY
  •    1/2 = 50% of males will be orange, XRY
