Two genes, A and B, are located 30 map units apart. A mating between an individual homozygous dominant for both traits and one h

omozygous recessive for both traits is conducted. The F1 progeny is then test-crossed to a homozygous recessive individual. What proportion of their offspring is expected to be dominant for both traits?

Answer:

35%

Explanation:

If two genes are 30 map units apart, 30% of the produced gametes will be recombinant.

A mating between an individual homozygous dominant for both traits (AB/AB) and one homozygous recessive for both traits (ab/ab) is conducted.

The F1 will be heterozygous for both genes: AB/ab.

The F1 progeny is then test-crossed to a homozygous recessive individual:

<h3>AB/ab X ab/ab</h3>

<u>The possible offspring will be:</u>

  • Parental (70%): AB/ab and ab/ab
  • Recombinant (30%): Ab/ab and aB/ab

Since 30% of all the gametes produced by the F1 individual will be recombinant, 70% will be parental. As there are two types of parental gametes, each of them will have a frequency of 35%.

<u>The offspring that will have a dominant phenotype for both traits has the genotype AB/ab with a proportion of 35%.</u>

The overfishing of (blank) which marine creature led nations to realize the need for marine conservation?
DedPeter [7]

Answer: Overfishing is a dangerous global issue that is often overlooked people who do not directly rely on marine wildlife for protein. However, as billions of people live near coastal areas and rely heavily on marine wildlife to sustain their lifestyles, overfishing can produce an additional burden on populations that live inland. Therefore, it is up to us, as individuals, to help prevent overfishing. By staying informed, understanding what you eat, and helping to spread the word, we can inform others to act responsibly.

Which of the following is NOT a function of hormones?
sammy [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

I believe the correct answer is D. React to stimuli from outside the body.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hormones are types of proteins that produce responses hand in hand with neurons but they are much slower and longer lasting. They can act on the same cells and in that instance they will be called autocrine hormones. Those that act on neighbouring cells are called paracrine hormones while those that act on far away cells are called endocrine hormones.

<h2>Further Explanation:</h2><h3>a. Initiate behavior and reproduction:</h3>

This is a function of hormone(s). Hormones such as testosterone can initiate both behavior of an organism and also stimulate reproduction. Testosterone causes maturation of sex features and sperms in males to initiate reproduction. Other hormones with such functions include: Estrogen and adrenaline.

<h3>b. Coordinate the production and use of energy:</h3>

Some hormones conduct this function by regulation metabolism in the body. These include: Insulin in intake of glucose for energy and glucagon in maintaining blood glucose levels. Corticosterone also responds in stress to maintain energy.

<h3>c. Maintain nutrition and metabolism:</h3>

Nutrition can be maintained by hormones such as ghrelin that stimulates appetite, insulin in intake of glucose, leptin and glucagon.

<h3>d. React to stimuli from outside the body</h3>

This is not a function of a hormone but rather the function of a neuron. Neurons have specific structures called denrites that recieve signals/stimuli from outside the body then convert them to nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain which produces another impulse to be taken to a specific site to produce a desired response.
