Answer:

243

Explanation:

Let us assume the genotype of individual with five genes is AaBbCcDdEe

If we look at the simple mono-hybrid cross between two gene pairs let us say Aa and Aa, the following genotypes will be produced

Aa * Aa

AA, Aa, Aa, aa

So total three different type of genotypes will be produced i.e AA, Aa, and aa

Like wise cross between Bb and Bb will produce BB, Bb, bb

Product of Cc and Cc will produce CC, Cc and cc

Product of Dd and Dd will produce DD, Dd, dd

Product of Ee and Ee will produce EE, Ee, ee

So in total there will be 5 such groups which will assort independently/

Thus, the probability will be

3 * 3* 3*3 *3\\= 3^5\\= 243

A woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a hemophiliac man. What will be their children’s possible phenotypes?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder in which a person's blood do not clots and he can bleed to death even after minor injuries because blood will keep running due to a small cut.

It is a recessive trait which means that even if one normal gene is present along with Hemophiliac gene, the person will not have the disease and he will be the carrier.

Question: What will be their children’s possible phenotypes?

If a woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a hemophiliac man, their genotypes can be denotes as :

Here H, indicate normal gene and small h indicate defected (hemophilia) gene.

Parents:                      XHXh                   X           XhY

Offspring:                   XHXh : XHY:  XhXh:  XhY

Phenotype of offspring:

XHXh:  The child will be daughter and normal (25 % chances)

XHY:     The child will be son and normal (25 % chances)

XhXh:   The child will be girl and Hemophiliac (25 % chances)

XhY:      The child will be son and Hemophiliac (25 % chances)

Hope it helps!

which of the following levels of protein organization shows the complete 3D arrangement of the polypeptide chain
kherson [118]

Proteins are the macromolecules made of hundreds of amino acids. Proteins are most varied class of biological molecules and show the greatest variety of structures. Many have detailed three-dimensional folding patterns that result in a compact form, but others do not fold up at all and they are in random conformations. The function of proteins depends on their structure.

The secondary structure of protein fold together to form the 3D arrangement of a polypeptide chain that results into Tertiary structure which is a functional protein.
