A rooster with gray feathers is mated with a hen of the same phenotype. Among their offspring, 15 chicks are gray, 6 are black,

and 8 are white. What is the simplest explanation for the inheritance of these colors in chickens? What offspring would you predict from the mating of a gray rooster and a black hen?

Answer:

Alleles for feather colour exhibit incomplete dominance or co-dominance.

50% gray offspring + 50% black offspring

Explanation:

<em>It means that the alleles for feather colour in the hen exhibit incomplete dominance or co-dominance over one another.</em>

Assuming the allele for white colour is B, white colour will be b while the heterozygote Bb gives the gray phenotype.

Gray rooster + gray hen = 15 gray chicks, 6 black chicks and 8 white chicks.

15:6:8 is roughly 2:1:1 which is phenotypic ratio obtainable from crossing two heterozygous individuals as pointed out by Mendel.

Bb   x   Bb = 1BB, 2Bb, and 1bb

Crossing the gray rooster (Bb) with a black hen (bb):

Bb   x   bb = Bb, Bb, bb, and bb

          = 2Bb (gray):2bb (black)

50% of the offspring will be gray while the remaining 50% will be black.

Describe stages of cell signaling: a. List and describe the three stages of cell signaling. b. List the three types of receptors
liraira [26]

Answer:

a.There are three signaling pathway

1- Reception in which molecule binds to receptor

2- Signal transduction in which activation of intracellular pathway and enzyme occur.

3- Cellular response in which specific response of cell occur according to receptor and ligand.

b. Three types of receptors are

1- autocrine

2- paracrine

3- endocrine.

Explanation:

autocrine receptors are signaling pathway in which cell releases its molecule and bind to its own cell receptor example cancer cells while paracrine in which ligand binds to other nearby cell receptor and it is used during development  and in endocrine cell target distinct cell and travel through blood stream like hormones functioning.

If adenine didn’t always pair with thymine and guanine didn’t always pair with cytosine, the new DNA ladders wouldn’t always be
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

they wouldnt be identical because for example Guanine could be paired with thymine in the original DNA strand but could decide to pair with adenine in the replication DNA. that would make a different type of DNA.

Explanation:

DNA replication is a beautiful process. In DNA replication adenine only pairs with thymine and guanine only pairs with cytosine. this ensures that a replication of the DNA will be the same type of DNA.

Replication works like this. Helicase splits open the DNA and each side is copied by DNA polymerase. If let's say the nucleotide bases for side 1 are ATGCGA then the DNA polymerase will pair these with the matching bases TACGCT which will make the same DNA but if each base could pair with any base they want that could create a few different variations of the original DNA. ATGCGA could very well be paired with TCGACA or CGACTA which would created two different types of DNA.
