Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

A) 1 out of 16

B) 3 out of 16

C) 6 out of 16

D) 9 out of 16

The answer is 1 out of 16

Explanation:

This is a DIHYBRID cross because it involves two different genes coding for distinct traits. One of the traits will be dominant while the other recessive. Hence, parents that are purebred for opposite forms of the trait means that one parent is homozygous dominant while the other is homozygous recessive. When these two parents cross, they produce F1 offsprings that all possess the dominant trait but heterozygous/hybrids.

When these hybrids are self-crossed, they produce four different combinations of gametes which when crossed using a punnet square will result in F2 offsprings with a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio according to Mendel's observation.

9 represents offsprings that are dominant for both traits

The two 3's represents offsprings that are recessive for one trait and dominant for the other respectively.

1 represents offsprings that are homozygous recessive for both traits.

Hence, 1 out of 16 offsprings will be homozygous recessive for both traits.

Forward primer: 5'-AGTCTACTCGTAACCGGTTACC-3' Reverse primer: 5'-TAAGGCATCATGGTAACCGGTT-3' The two primers above have the melting
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Short answer is primers are partially complementary.

Explanation:

Forward primer: 5'-AGTCTACTCGTAACCGGTTACC-3'

Reverse primer: 5'-TAAGGCATCATGGTAACCGGTT-3'

When we write reverse primer 5' to 3' we can easily see that

3'-TTGGCCAATGG---5' is complementary to the forward primers'

5'---AACCGGTTACC-3' sequence. So instead of binding to the template DNA these primers might bind each other resulting with reduction of efficiency of DNA amplification.
