In corn, the allele A allows the deposition of anthocyanin (blue) pigment in the kernels (seeds), while aa plants have yellow ke

rnels. At a second gene, W– produces smooth kernels, while ww kernels are wrinkled. A plant with blue smooth kernels was crossed to a plant with yellow wrinkled kernels. The progeny consisted of 1447 blue smooth, 169 blue wrinkled, 186 yellow smooth, and 1510 yellow wrinkled.
a. Are the a and w loci linked? If so, how far apart are they?
b. What was the genotype of the blue smooth parent? Include the chromosome arrangement of alleles
c. If a plant grown from a blue wrinkled progeny seed is crossed to a plant grown from a yellow smooth F, seed, what kinds of kernels would be expected, and in what proportions?

Answer:

<h2>A) Yes, 12 mu</h2><h2>B) AaWw</h2><h2>C) 0.25%</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

As given,

Allele A for  blue anthocynin.

aa for yellow kernel;

at  second locus;

W produce smooth kernel,

ww for wrinkled kernel;

Parents as given are:  AaWw and aaww

Progeny are:

blue smooth ( AaWw)= 1447;

blue wrinkle (Aaww)= 169;

yellow smooth (aaWw)= 186;

yellow wirnked (aaww)= 1510

a)

Recombinant progeny are  169+ 186= 355

non- recombinant progeny are = 1447+ 1510= 2957

so recombination frequency (RF)= 346/2957×100= 12.0054%

So a and w are linked genes.

They are 12 mu far away from each other.

b) Blue smooth parent= AaWw.

c) Aaww crossed with  aaWw

progeny are= AaWw, Aaww, aaWw, aaww,

They all are produced in same proportion =0.25% or 1/4.

if a man with type ab blood marries a woman heterozygous for type A what is the probability that their child would be type B???
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

1/4.

Explanation:

Via a punett square, the only possible combinations are AA, AB, AO and BO. Since BO is the only way the child has type B, the chances are 1 in 4.

Scientists studied reproduction in the New Zealand mud snail. They wanted to determine whether reproducing sexually or asexually
lubasha [3.4K]

A hypothesis is a claim that expresses a relationship between variables. D) Asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it decreases the snails’ need for social interaction.

<h3>What is a hypothesis?</h3>

A hypothesis is a scientific conjecture, not verified, that requires corroboration. It is a possibility, but not a fact. It is a claim of how it works a relationship between two or more variables.

The researcher hypothesizes in order to predict what is going on or what is expected to occur.

A hypothesis must express what is expected to occur in a perfectly comprehensive manner. There must be a logical relationship between the involved variables. It must be objective. Usually, it is written in the present time.

There are different kinds of hypotheses: descriptive, correlative, differentiative, or causative.  

In the exposed example, researchers wanted to determine whether reproducing sexually or asexually was more beneficial for the snails.

Options,

A) <em>Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation. </em>

The benefit of reproducing sexually is that the risk of mutation is lower.

B) <em>Asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it allows the snails to produce more offspring.</em>

<em />

The benefit of reproducing asexually is that a higher number of descendants are produced, which increases reproductive success.

C) Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it allows for snails to have increased genetic variation.

The benefit of reproducing sexually is that it increases genetic variation.

D) Asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it decreases the snails’ need for social interaction.

The benefit of reproducing asexually is that there is no need for social interaction.

Social interaction does not really benefit snails as a species. This is not a variable that might influence in a significant way snails.

However, variables like the mutation rate, variability, and the number of descendants are useful to test how they benefit or not the snails.  

The hypotheses that would least likely aid the scientists to answer the question is <u>option D</u>.
