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

Which is the most efficient way to avoid DNA mutations from UV radiation?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

The most effective way to prevent DNA mutation from UV radiation is: (C.) Avoid UV radiation by wearing sunscreen.

Mutation is the change in the normal sequence of DNA. The agents that induce these mutations are called mutagens. The mutations can be harmful as they can hamper the normal functioning of the living body. Some mutations however do not cause any significant changes and they are therefore called silent mutations.

Sunscreen is a a cream or liquid applied to the skin that prevents the harmful radiations of the sun to enter the body. They protect from the sun's UV-A and UV-B radiations.
