The genes R, E and D are independently assorting and control production of red pigment as follows (recessive alleles are not fun

ctional) precursor -- (R) --> white -- (E) --> yellow -- (D) --> red RREEDD and rreedd individuals are crossed, and their offspring are testcrossed. What proportion of the F2 progeny is expected to be red?

Answer:

1/8

Explanation:

An individual must have all three dominant alleles to be red, in homozygosis or heterozygosis (R_E_D_).

<u>The parental cross was:</u>

RREEDD x rreedd

F1: RrEeDd

<u>The test cross</u> is between the RrEeDd indiviudals and homozygous recessive rreedd.

The genes assort independently, so we can use Mendel's law of segregation to predict separately for each gene the proportion of the offspring that will have the dominant alleles.

<h3><u>Rr x rr</u></h3>

1/2 Rr

1/2 rr

<h3><u>Ee x ee</u></h3>

1/2 Ee

1/2 ee

<h3><u>Dd x dd</u></h3>

1/2 Dd

1/2 dd

Genes are independent, so the probability of having a R_E_D_ offpsring is calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities of having a dominant allele for each gene:

1/2 (Rr) × 1/2 (Ee) × 1/2 (Dd)= 1/8

How are mitosis and meiosis similar and different?
Gnom [1K]
The fundamental sequence of events in mitosis is the same as in meiosis (in meiosis it happens twice). Both processes include the breakdown of the nuclear membrane, the separation of genetic material into two groups, followed by cell division and the reformation of the nuclear membrane in each cells.

List five factors or behaviors that affect cholesterol levels in the body, how these factors affect cholesterol levels, and whet
anyanavicka [17]
Hey there,
Q1 & Q2) 
1) Heredity- Genes carry genetic information for cholesterol. So, it can be passed down from your parents.
2) Diet- Cholesterol depends on the food you eat. If you eat food with too much saturated fat, you get a high level of cholesterol. 
3) Weight- If you are obese, you are more prone to get cholesterol. Thus, you need to lose weight
4) Exercise- Exercise regularly to maintain a perfect cholesterol level
5) Stress- If you are a student, take breaks in between study timings to keep you less stress or if you are an adult, go for walks and do something that you like the most to calm your brain down.

Q3) Cholesterol causes plague to grow in your hearts. This thick, hard plague will block the arteries and will cause heart attacks and strokes. 

Q4) Pros- <span>Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels, lowers risks of heart attacks and strokes
       Cons- C</span><span>ould create too many HDL leaving not enough cholesterol for the body to be healthy.

Hope this helps :))
