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

Why was the cow insulin an effective substitute for the human insulin?
Ray Of Light [21]
Pork and beef insulins are similar to human insulin, differing only in one or a few amino acids. However, even a slight difference is enough to elicit an allergic response in some people. To overcome this problem, researchers looked for ways to make insulin that would more closely resemble human insulin.

If cloves are separated from the bulb and later planted in a garden, a new garlic bulb will grow from each. In this way, a home
xenn [34]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) need to be aware that if any of his garlic plants became diseased, it could very likely infect the entire crop</em>

Explanation:

If cloves from a bulb are taken and grown, then the plants formed will be identical to each other. As a result, there will be no genetic varieties in the garlic plants being produced. Hence, when a diseases eradicates, it will affect the entire plants of the garden as they would be genetically identically, Variations would have allowed some of the plants to be resistant for the disease and hence some of the plant species could be saved by genetic variations.
