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

Description:
Therapeutic Progesterone is a synthetic form of the endogenous hormone progesterone. Progesterone binds to the progesterone receptor, resulting in dissociation of heat shock proteins, receptor phosphorylation, and transcription activation through direct or indirect interaction with transcription factors. This agent exerts inhibitory effects on estrogens by decreasing the number of estrogen receptors and increasing its metabolism to inactive metabolites. Progesterone induces secretory changes in the endometrium, decreases uterine contractility during pregnancy, and maintains pregnancy. (NCI04)
from NCIt
Progesterone is a Progesterone. The chemical classification of progesterone is Progesterone.
from FDA Pharm Classes
Progesterone is a C21-steroid hormone in which a pregnane skeleton carries oxo substituents at positions 3 and 20 and is unsaturated at C(4)-C(5). As a hormone, it is involved in the female menstrual cycle, pregnancy and embryogenesis of humans and other species. It has a role as a contraceptive drug, a progestin, a progesterone receptor agonist, a human metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a 20-oxo steroid, a 3-oxo-Delta(4) steroid and a C21-steroid hormone. It derives from a hydride of a pregnane.
