1) How is DNA condensed to form a chromosome?

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Hello! Here are the answers:

Chromosomes are a highly condensed form of a combination of DNA and protein called chromatin. DNA strands (negatively charged) are tightly wound around these proteins called histones (positively charged) to form chromosomes.
Mechanism genes code for for proteins that govern life processes. These genes or portions of DNA are called exons. DNA segments between these exons are called introns that strictly code for regulatory proteins and also contain genetic regulatory elements (DNA sequences that control gene expression).
Gene expression is the process of translation of DNA sequences into proteins. The genetic code is the nucleotide sequence in the DNA itself that codes for different amino acids that combine together to form a functional protein.

Explanation:

* 2. The intronic regions are misleadingly referred to as "junk DNA" but introns code for crucial regulatory elements that control gene expression.

* 3. The genetic code determines the sequence of amino acids in various proteins.

In chickens, comb shape is determined by genes at two loci (R, r and P, p). A walnut comb is produced when at least one dominant

Ivenika [448]

Answer and Explanation:

Available data:

Comb shape is determined by genes at two loci (R, r and P, p).

The walnut comb genotype is R_P_.

The rose comb genotype is R_pp.

The pea comb genotype is rrP_.

The single genotype is rrpp.

a. Walnut crossed with single produces 1 walnut, 1 rose, 1 pea, and 1 single offspring:

Parental) RrPp x rrpp

Gametes) RP Rp rP rp rp rp rp rp

Punnet Square) RP Rp rP rp

rp RrPp Rrpp rrPp rrpp

rp RrPp Rrpp rrPp rrpp

F1 phenotype: 25% walnut, 25% rose, 25% pea, and 25% single.

F1 genotype: 4/16 RrPp, 1/16 Rrpp, 4/16 rrPp, 4/16 rrpp.

b. Rose crossed with pea produces 20 walnut offspring.

Parental) RRpp x rrPP

Gametes) Rp Rp Rp Rp rP rP rP rP

Punnet Square) Rp Rp Rp Rp

rP RrPp RrPp RrPp RrPp

F1 phenotype: 100% walnut.

F1 genotype: 16/16 RrPp.

c. Pea crossed with single produces 1 single offspring.

This is not possible, because the pea genotype involves at least one dominant allele P. There are two possible crosses: rrPp x rrpp, which must produce half of the progeny pea and the other half single, or rrPP x rrpp which produce a whole pea progeny with no single offspring.

Parental) rrPp x rrpp

Gametes) rP rp rP rp rp rp rp rp

Punnet Square) rP rp rP rp

rp rrPp rrpp rrPp rrpp

rp rrPp rrpp rrPp rrpp

F1 phenotype: 50% pea, and 50% single.

F1 genotype: 8/16 rrPp, 8/16 rrpp.

d. Rose crossed with pea produces 2 walnut, 1 single, and 1 pea offspring.

This is not possible, because having one of the parents with a rose phenotype involves at least one R allele, which means that there must be rose phenotype in the progeny.

Parental) Rrpp x rrPp

Gametes) Rp Rp rp rp rP rP rp rp

Punnet Square) Rp Rp rp rp

rP RrPp RrPp rrPp rrPp

rP RrPp RrPp rrPp rrPp

rp Rrpp Rrpp rrpp rrpp

rp Rrpp Rrpp rrpp rrpp

F1 phenotype: 25% walnut, 25% rose, 25% pea, and 25% single.

F1 genotype: 4/16 RrPp, 1/16 Rrpp, 4/16 rrPp, 4/16 rrpp.

e. Rose crossed with single produces 31 rose offspring.

Parental) RRpp x rrpp

Gametes) Rp Rp Rp Rp rp rp rp rp

Punnet Square) Rp Rp Rp Rp

F1 phenotype: 100% rose (31 individuals equal 100% of the progeny).

F1 genotype: 16/16 Rrpp.

f. Rose crossed with single produces 10 rose and 11 single offspring.

Parental) Rrpp x rrpp

Gametes) Rp Rp rp rp rP rP rp rp

Punnet Square) Rp Rp rp rp

F1 phenotype: 50% rose, 50% single.

F1 genotype: 8/16 Rrpp, 8/16 rrpp.

What is speciation?

Damm [24]

Speciation is b. the process by which new species are formed. They are often caused by the isolation of certain organisms in terms of environment or geographical area. This is part of the evolutionary changes that various species undergo to brought about by natural selection.
