The physical expression of genes
spin [16.1K]

The physical expression of genes are phenotype. Phenotype is the expression of the gene by the appearnace of the organism. It is the characteristics of that trait.

Examples : When pigment is made in our eyes, height ( tall and short) , weight, blond hair is the phenotype for the blond hair genotype and skin colour( black, white ) is the phenotype trait.

The following F2 results occur from a dihybrid cross (AaBb x AaBb): purple: A_B_ 9/16 white: aaB_ 3/16 white: A_bb 3/16 white: a
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

b. 3 (whilte) : 1(purple)

Explanation:

The first dihybrid crossing is between AaBb x AaBb

Now, if the double heterozygous traits self crossed, we have the following gametes shown below for the F₂ crossing.

AaBb = (AB, Ab, aB, ab)

                    AB                     Ab                     aB                     ab

AB                AABB                AABb                AaBB                AaBb

Ab                AABb                AAbb                AaBb                Aabb

aB                AaBB                 AaBb                aaBB                aaBb

ab                AaBb                 Aabb                 aaBb                aabb

We were being told that the results are;

purple: A_B_ 9/16

white: aaB_ 3/16

white: A_bb 3/16

white: aabb 1/16

From above, we can see that the same is true;

For Purple color; we Have (AABB and AaBb) since A is dominant to a and B is dominant to b.

∴ From the above punnet square; we have 9 purple colors which are:

(AABB, AABb, AaBB, AaBb, AABb, AaBb, AaBB, AaBb, AaBb) = 9/16

white: aaB_ ( since B is dominant to b, it can be either BB or Bb)

= (aaBB, aaBb, aaBb) = 3/16

white: A_bb ( since A is dominant to a, it can be either AA or Aa)

= (AAbb, Aabb, Aabb) = 3/16

white: aabb i.e homozygous recessive = (aabb) = 1/16

Furthermore, the question goes further by saying:

If a double heterozygote (AaBb) is crossed with a fully recessive organism (aabb), what phenotypic ratio is expected in the offspring?

If AaBb self crossed, we have:  (AB, Ab, aB, ab)

If aabb self crossed, we have: (ab, ab, ab, ab)

                    AB                     Ab                     aB                     ab

ab                AaBb                Aabb                aaBb                 aabb

ab                AaBb                Aabb                aaBb                 aabb

ab                AaBb                 Aabb               aaBb                 aabb

ab                AaBb                 Aabb                aaBb                aabb

AaBb ( purple)

= 4/16

= 1/4

= 0.25

= 25%

Aabb (white)

= 4/16

= 1/4

= 0.25

= 25%

aaBb (white)

= 4/16

= 1/4

= 0.25

= 25%

aabb (white)

= 4/16

= 1/4

= 0.25

= 25%

Now the proportion of white to purple =  (25%+25%+25%): 25%

=  75%:25%

= 3(white):1(purple)

We can therefore conclude that the expected phenotypic ratio in the cross between a double heterozygote (AaBb) with a fully recessive organism (aabb) yeids;

3 (whilte) : 1(purple)

The solutions in the two arms of this U-tube are separated by a membrane that is permeable to water and glucose but not to sucro
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is: the level of liquid in Side A will rise.

Explanation:

  • Sucrose is formed of two molecules of glucose but the membrane is impermeable to it.
  • The given membrane is said to be permeable to water and glucose.
  • Through a semi-permeable membrane, molecules tend to move from a region where its concentration is high to another region where its concentration is low by the process of diffusion until its concentration in the two regions becomes equal. This phenomenon is known as Osmosis.
  • Concentration gradient of a molecule can be defined as the difference in the concentration of the molecule in two different regions separated by a semi-permeable membrane.
  • Considering glucose, the concentration of glucose is low in side A (1M) and high in side B (2M), so it will tend to move from side B to side A down its concentration gradient.
  • Considering sucrose, although its concentration is high in side A (2M) but low in side B (1M), it is unable to move as the membrane is impermeable to it.
  • Water tend to move from a region where the concentration of solute is low (or water concentration is high) to a region where the concentration of solute is high (or water concentration is low).
  • Due to the movement of glucose from side B to side A, the concentration of total solute concentration becomes high in side A as compared to side B. Therefore, water would move from side B to side A.
  • Hence the level of liquid in Side A will rise after sometime.

How are resources allocated?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Resource allocation includes managing tangible assets such as hardware to make the best use of softer assets such as human capital. Resource allocation involves balancing competing needs and priorities and determining the most effective course of action in order to maximize the effective use of limited resources and gain the best return on investment.
