Where are sister chromatids connected at

The ways in which an element—or compound such as water—moves between its various living and nonliving forms and locations in the biosphere is called a biogeochemical cycle. Biogeochemical cycles important to living organisms include the water, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur cycles.

Suppose two independently assorting genes are involved in the pathway that determines fruit color in squash. These genes interac

Answer:

100% yellow fruit color, Yyww.

Explanation:

Available data:

two independently assorting genes

the W allele codes for a dominant white phenotype

w allele codes for a colored squash

The allele Y codes for a dominant yellow phenotype

the allele y codes for a recessive green phenotype

The phenotypes from the first locus will always mask the phenotype produced by the second locus if the dominant allele (W) is present at the first locus. This masking pattern is known as dominant epistasis

Epistasis means "interruption" and refers to interactions between genes located in different loci in the same chromosome. An “epistatic gene” can alter, influence, or suppress the expression of a "hypostatic gene". When the epistatic gene is dominant, the interaction is known as "dominant epistasis".

W suppresses the expression of Y and y, this means that whenever W is present, the fruit is white. If W is not present, the fruit color can be expressed.

So, the proposed cross in the present problem occurs between a green fruited individual and yellow fruited individual, which suggests that W is absent.

Genotype for Green fruit: yyww

Genotype for purebred Yellow fruit: YYww

Cross:

Parental) YYww x yyww

Gametes) Yw Yw Yw Yw yw yw yw yw

Punnet square) Yw Yw Yw Yw

yw Yyww Yyww Yyww Yyww

F1) 100% Yellow fruited plants, Yyww

As these two genes assort independently, we can also represent the cross for each gene by separate, like this:

For w gene:

Parental) ww x ww

Gametes) w w w w

Punnet square) w w

w ww ww

F1) 4/4 or 100% colored-fruits

For Y gene:

Parental) YY x yy

Gametes) Y Y y y

Punnet square) Y Y

y Yy Yy

F1) 4/4 or 100% yellow fruits, Yy.
