Flower position, stem length, and seed shape are three characters that Mendel studied. Each is controlled by an independently as

sorted gene and has a simple dominant recessive relationship as follows: axial A / terminal a round R / wrinkled r tall T / dwarf t If a plant that is heterozygous for all three characters is allowed to self-fertilize, what is the probability that the offspring would be homozygous dominant for all three traits? Hint: Use the rules of probability rather than making a huge punnet square.

Answer:

1/64

Explanation:

<em>The probability of the offspring being homozygous dominant for the three alleles is 1/64.</em>

Since the three characters assort independently, the probability of the offspring being homozygous dominant for all the three traits is an independent event.

For independent events, the probability of all the events happening together is the multiplication of individual event's probability.

For a cross involving two heterozygotes, taking tall/dwarf for example:

Tt   x   Tt = TT, 2Tt, tt

The probability of obtaining a homozygous dominant genotype is 1/4.

Hence, the probability of the offspring being homozygous dominant for the three alleles will be:

1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/64

What enzyme deficiency in RBC leads to hemolytic anemia due to oxidative stress? ​
natka813 [3]

In some cases, massive destruction of red blood cells caused death. This drug-induced hemolytic anemia was shown 30 years later to be caused by a deficiency of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, the enzyme catalyzing the first step in the oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway.

in short terms, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase

What would happen if the pouter pigeon and the fantail pigeon and the fantail pigeon were selectively bred?
lozanna [386]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The offspring population will contains the desirable characteristics of both fantail pigeon and the fantail pigeon.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The selective breeding is the planned breeding between two organism of the population with desirable properties to result in the new traits from both parents in the single next generation offspring.
  • In this case, the offspring of the pouter pigeon and the fantail pigeon will contain the traits of pouter and it also has fantail.
  • The new generation will be selective breed an it is from the breeding of intra specie organism. If breeding is inter specie than the offspring is most probably infertile.

Scientists cannot define life, but they can list characteristics that are true of all life
pychu [463]
What are you asking for here? we need a solid question not a statement.

i'd say that the statement is true. we cant define life because we do not know what life, in essence, is. we can define, however, the characteristice of all living things:
Movement
Respiration
Sensitivity

Nutrition
Excretion
Reproduction
Growth
