A MYSTERIOUS ailment has been devastating the much studied lions of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, and scientists said yesterday that it had been identified as canine distemper, a viral disease that causes severe neurological symptoms and death.
The phenotype of antenna in crawfish depends on the protein amount in the antenna length. The offspring have different phenotype than their parent because of the amount of protein translated from each parent gene is determining in this.
The gene determines the amount of protein to be present in the antenna to determine its length.
Explanation:
Data given:
Two crawfish parent = medium length antennae, genotyoe Ll
One offspring = short antenna, genotype ll
one offspring = long antennae, genotype LL
The traits in offspring is shown as:
L l
L LL Ll
l Ll ll
The proportion of allele present in the gene determined the length of the antenna in crawfish.
The difference in length of the antenna in crawfish is due to the amount of protein for the phenotype present in the individual. The amount of protein to be expressed in the crawfish is given by both the parents. The tendency of protein expresed define the phenotype of antenna length.
Just last year it was 409.8
Answer:
Chromosomal non‐non disjunction resulting in extra sets of genes
