Define the components of blood and briefly describe their role.

Grace [21]

Tha main components in blood are the plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and blood platelets.

Plasma is like the main component that makes up most of the blood. It has a light yellow color and it carries many substances including nutrients, waste, hormones and more.

Red blood cells are the reason why blood is red in color. They have a hemoglobin inside them which can help carry oxygen for the tissues and organs. In order to maximize the oxygen carrying capacity, they don't have a nucleus.

White blood cells can be divided into phagocytes and lymphocytes. Their main function is to protect us from diseases. Phahocytes and engulf and digest bacteria, while lymphocytes can produce antibodies.

Blood platelets can cause blood clotting which can stop us from bleeding forever. They're not cells, but just fragments of cells. They also don't have nucleus since they're not complete cells.

[Chapter 3-4] A cross was carried out between the following two pureline parental strains:Parent 1: A/A; b/b; D/D; e/e; F/FParen

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Following the selfing of the F1 from the cross between the two parental strains, what proportion of the F2 individuals will phenotypically resemble either one of the two parental lines?

= 7.03% of F2 progeny will resemble parent 1

= 2.34% of F2 progeny will resemble parent 2.

Explanation:

Parent 1: AA; b/b; D/D; e/e; F/F

Parent 2: a/a; B/B; d/d; E/E; f/f

F1 Progeny: A/a; B/b; D/d; E/e; F/f

knowing that the F1 progeny is selfed, the possible gamete outcomes are:

ABDeF , ABDEf, ABdeF, ABdEf

AbDeF , AbDEf , AbdeF , AbdEf

aBDeF , aBDEf , aBdeF , aBdEf

abDeF , abDEf , abdeF , abdEf

All gametes are either eF or Ef (the two parental genotypes) and never EF or ef.

At the A, B and D loci, the F1 are heterozygotes. Therefore, in the F2 progeny, for each locus, 3/4 of the progeny will have the dominant trait while 1/4 will have the recessive phenotype. Further, 1/2 of all F2 progeny will have the haplotype eF and the other half will be Ef.

Proportion of progeny resembling Parent 1:

Parent 1 has the Phenoytpe AbDeF. As previously discussed, 3/4th of all F2 progeny has the phenotype A, 1/4th of F2 progeny has the phenotype b, 3/4th of F2 progeny has the phenotype D and 1/2 of F progeny has the phenotype eF.

Thus, the proportion of progeny resembling Parent 1

= 3/4 x 1/4 x 3/4 x 1/2 = 0.0703125

= 7.03% of F2 progeny will resemble parent 1.

Proportion of progeny resembling Parent 2:

Parent 2 has the Phenoytpe aBdEf. As previously discussed, 1/4th of all F2 progeny has the phenotype a, 3/4th of F2 progeny has the phenotype B, 1/4th of F2 progeny has the phenotype d and 1/2 of F progeny has the phenotype Ef.

Thus, Proportion of progeny resembling parent 2

= 1/4 x 3/4 x 1/4 x 1/2 = 0.0234375

= 2.34% of F2 progeny will resemble parent 2.
