Answer:

Explanation:

Mendel's law of independent assortment state that two different genes assort independently in gamete formation.

To reach this conclusion, one has to do a dihybrid cross. This means that two genes responsible for different traits need to be analyzed at the same time.

1) Starting with a <u>parental generation of a cross between two pure lines</u> (homozygous for both genes) <u>with different traits</u>, a plant with yellow and round seeds (YYRR) and another with green and wrinkled seeds (yyrr). <u>The F1 will be phenotypically homogeneous (</u>yellow and round)<u>, and genotypically heterozygous (</u><u>YyRr</u><u>)</u>.

2) If the individuals from the F1 are crossed with one another,  we have to do a Punnett Square to determine the phenotypic ratio of the F2.

  • If the genes assort independently, the F1 individuals will produce their different gametes with the same probability. Each possible gamete will appear in a 1/4 proportion: YR, Yr, yR, yr.
  • The 9:3:3:1 ratio is a result of analyzing the possible phenotypes that result from the dihybrid cross.

See the attached image for an illustration of the crosses in each generation and the Punnett Square.

The function of a plasma membrane is to help the cell regenerate.<br> True False
Svetlanka [38]
<span>False. The plasma membrane is the outer layer of the membrane and its primary purpose is to protect the cell from its surroundings. It is selectively permeable to allow ions and other organic molecules to pass through and regulates which molecules are allowed in and out of the cell. It is a phospholipid bilayer that are placed back-to-back.</span>

una pareja cuya madre es heterocigota para el grupo sanguineo a y su espoco es homocigoto B. Determina ¿que tipo de sangre tendr
pochemuha

Answer:

1/2 IAIB, 1/2 IBIB (es decir, 50% IAIB  y 50% IBIB)

Explanation:

El grupo sanguíneo está determinado por un gen que posee tres diferentes variantes o formas alélicas:

alelo A: IA

alelo B: IB

alelo O: IO

Los alelos IA y IB son codominantes entre sí, es decir, un portador de ambos alelos será de grupo sanguíneo IAIB. Por otra parte, tanto el alelo IA como el alelo IB son dominantes del alelo IO recesivo. En este caso, el cruzamiento entre un individuo heterocigota IAIB con un individuo homocigota IBIB dará como resultado una descendencia 1:1 de heterocigotas IAIB y homocigotas IBIB (es decir, 50% IAIB  y 50% IBIB), ya que la madre producirá ambos tipos de gametos en proporciones equivalentes (1/2 IA  y 1/2 IB), mientras que el padre sólo producirá gametos IB.
