Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If two

heterozygous individuals with polka-dot tails mate, what's the probability of the phenotype and genotype combinations of the offspring? A. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail (75 percent Pp; 25 percent pp) B. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail C. 25 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 75 percent chance of a solid colored tail D. 50 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 50 percent chance of a solid colored tail

The correct answer is B. This question relates to using a punnet square to determine the genotypes of the offspring. Two heterozygous parents expressing a polka-dot tale must have genotype Pp each. 

Using a punnet square, this will produce 4 possible genotypes in equal probability:
PP - polka dot
Pp - polka dot
Pp - polka dot
pp - solid tale

Therefore there is a 75% change of getting polka dots in the offspring, and a 25% chance of solid tale.

A. is an incorrect answer because only 50% of offspring will be type Pp, another 25% will be expressing double dominant alleles for P as PP, which will still express polka dots.

Which is a malignant disorder of mature antibody-secreting B lymphocytes or plasma cells? Multiple myeloma Hairy cell leukemia A
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The correct answer is Multiple myeloma.

Explanation:

Multiple myeloma is a type of bone marrow cancer caused by a malignant degeneration of plasma cells. Normal plasma cells are part of the immune or immune system, responsible for dealing with infections and diseases of external origin. Plasma cells are normally found in the bone marrow, mixed with other cells of the immune system and with the cell-producing cells of the blood. When there is an infection, the B lymphocytes respond, become plasma cells or plasma cells and produce antibodies (also called immunoglobulins) that help the body fight infection. T lymphocytes respond with various transformations that allow them to directly attack infectious agents or help other types of cells defend the body.
