2. How will the alleles for these traits assort into the gametes that each parent might produce? (Hint: For a reminder on how al
Luden [163]

Hello!

We all are very well familiar with Mendel's laws of inheritance. Just recalling Mendel's  law of independent assortment that states, "alleles of different genes are inherited independently of one another".

Here we have two traits, and we want to know how the alleles of these traits will assort independently during the formation of gametes from two parents.

The two traits are:

  1. Flower color ( Can be purple or white)
  2. Seed shape   (Can be round or wrinkled)

Here the alleles of the traits are represented by alphabets as:

  1. purple flowers: P
  2. white flowers: p
  3. round seeds: R
  4. wrinkled seeds: r

We have parent one as PpRr  

The gamete formation of one trait (Pp) will be independent of the other trait (Rr) in Parent 1.

  • Gamete 1: PR  
  • Gamete 2: Pr  
  • Gamete 3: pR  
  • Gamete 4: pr  

We have parent two as PpRr  :

The gamete formation of one trait (Pp) will be independent of the other trait (Rr) in Parent 2 as well.

  • Gamete 1: PR  
  • Gamete 2: Pr  
  • Gamete 3: pR  
  • Gamete 4: pr

This shows that there is not restriction that the allele for wrinkled seed r will go with allele of white flower p because its recessive or allele of round seeds R will go with allele of purple flowers P because  its dominant. There is no restriction when alleles are assorting into gametes and they can go randomly as per nature's choice with any one.


Hope it helps! :)

Transcription is the synthesis of ______
crimeas [40]

Answer:

RNA

Explanation:

Transcription is the second stage of central dogma of life (1. replication, 2. <u>transcription</u>, 3. translation).

During transcription, DNA (which is already replicated) is transcribed to RNA. This is because, the genetic information is present within nucleus and thus it is required to be transported outside the nucleus in order to  perform key enzymatic functions. Therefore, transcription takes place and the genetic information travels outside in the form of RNA, where  ribosomes decode this message to form proteins. The ribosomes make proteins (translation) required for enzymatic functions.
