Kayla and Layla are twins who were separated at birth. A researcher interested in studying heredity tracks them down and speaks

to their different families about the benefits that can be achieved by studying the two young girls. The girls and their different sets of parents agree to participate, and studies begin assessing various areas of the girls’ lives. In order for this type of twin study to be most effective, what kind of twins should Kayla and Layla be? Group of answer choices
a. dizygotic
b. amorphous
c. monozygotic
d. conjoined

Answer:

c. monozygotic

Explanation:

Monozygotic twins, though arising primarily from a single zygote and considered genetically identical, will not ever be absolutely the same. Post-fertilization events such as chromosomal mosaicism, skewed X-inactivation and imprinting mechanisms, as well as other epigenetic mechanisms are responsible for the putative differences between monozygotic twins.

What is the phenotype of the sons in generation III? How do you know?
Nata [24]

Answer:

The phenotype of children in the third generation depends on the dominant or recessive characteristics present in the alleles of grandparents and parents. To know the phenotypes you must understand Mendel's laws.Knowing the alleles of parents (generation II) and grandparents (generation I) through crosses, you can know what characteristics the children will have in the third generation.

Which foods would be most helpful for someone who is suffering from weak teeth and bones
hjlf

Your body needs two key nutrients: calcium and vitamin D. Calcium is the mineral that strengthens bones and teeth, and vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium while improving bone growth. So stuff like <em>yogurt, milk, salmon, tuna, and spinach.</em>

9/16 dark blue: 6/16 light blue: 1/16 white
Daniel [21]
IF THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION WITH MULTIPLE CHOICE.

Two genes interact to produce various phenotypic ratios among F2 progeny of a dihybrid cross. Design a different pathway explaining each of the F2 ratios below, using hypothetical genes R and T and assuming that the dominant allele at each locus catalyzes a different reaction or performs an action leading to pigment production. The recessive allele at each locus is null (loss-of-function). Begin each pathway with a colorless precursor that produces a white or albino phenotype if it is unmodified. The ratios are for F2 progeny produced by crossing wild-type F1 organisms with the genotype RrTt.

9/16 Dark Blue 6/16 light blue 1/16 white

A) At least one copy of each dominant allele results in dark blue, at least one copy of either dominant allele produces light blue, and the absence of both dominant allele produces white.

B) If both dominant alleles are present, the result is dark blue. At least one copy of one specific dominant allele is required for light blue. If that dominant allele is not present, the result is white, regardless of whether the other dominant allele is present.

C) At least one copy of both dominant alleles results in dark blue; at least one copy of one of the dominant alleles also results in dark blue, but at least one copy of the other dominant allele produces light blue; and the absence of either dominant allele produces white.

MY ANSWER IS:
A) At least one copy of each dominant allele results in dark blue, at least one copy of either dominant allele produces light blue, and the absence of both dominant allele produces white.
