In the datura plant, purple flower color is controlled by a dominant allele P. White flowers are found in plants homozygous for

the recessive allele p. Suppose that a purple-flowered datura plant with an unknown genotype is self-fertilized and that its progeny are 28 purple-flowered plants and 10 white-flowered plants.
Part A

Use the results of the self-fertilization to determine the genotype of the original purple-flowered plant.

a. Pp
b. PP
c. pp

Part B

If one of the purple-flowered progeny plants is selected at random and self-fertilized, what is the probability it will breed true?

a. 1/3
b. 1/4
c. 3/4
d. 2/3

Answer:

Part A: Pp

Part B: 1/3

Explanation:

A: The purple flower color is regulated by dominant allele "P". Since self-fertilization of the purple-flowered plant with unknown genotype gives both purple and white-flowered progeny in almost 3:1 ratio, the parent plant was heterozygous dominant for the trait. Its genotype is "Pp".

Segregation of recessive and dominant alleles during gamete formation leads to the production of two types of gametes with either "P" or "p" alleles. The random fusion of these gametes produces progeny in following phenotype ratio= 3 purple: 1 white.

B. Out of the 3 purple-flowered progeny, 1 is homozygous dominant (PP). Therefore, the probability of the purple-flowered progeny to breed true is 1/3.

Humans and mice have similar genomes. In fact, researchers have found thousands of genes that exist in both mice
Svetach [21]

Answer:

mice and humans share virtually the same set of genes

Explanation:

Almost every gene found in one species so far has been found in a closely related form in the other. Of the approximately 4,000 genes that have been studied, less than 10 are found in one species but not in the other.

The Meselson-Stahl experiment demonstrated which of the following about DNA replication? View Available Hint(s) The Meselson-Sta
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

This experiment proved that DNA replicated semiconservatively; half the original polynucleotide is conserved in each of the two copies

Explanation:

Semi-conservative mode of replication means that the two strands of DNA unwind from each other, and each of themacts as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand. As a result, two formed DNA moleculesc ontain one original strand and one new strand.

Meselson and Stahl experiment showed this model by labeling the DNA of bacteria across generations using isotopes of nitrogen ( patterns of DNA labeling showed the mode of replication).

The lymphatic system: Group of answer choices has a pumping mechanism to move fluid. is the site of B and T cell clonal deletion
Luden [163]

The lymphatic system includes areas of high concentrations of APCs, T and B cells.

<h3>What is the lymphatic system?</h3>

The lymphatic system is a branch of the circulatory system which consists of a system of organs , tissues, cells and vessels known as lymphatic vessels, which help transport the fluid, lymph around the body.

The lymphatic system contains high concentration of immune cells.

Therefore, the lymphatic system includes areas of high concentrations of APCs, T and B cells.
