When true-breeding mice with brown fur and short tails (BBtt) were crossed to truebreeding mice with white fur and long tails (b

bTT), all F1 offspring had brown fur and long tails. The F1 offspring were crossed to mice with white fur and short tails. What are the possible phenotypes of the F2 offspring?

Answer:

Brown fur, long tail (1)

Brown fur, short tail (1)

White fur, long tail (1)

White fur, short tail (1)

Explanation:

This is a cross involving two genes, one coding for fur colour and the other for tail length in mice. B and b are alleles for brown and white fur respectively while T and t are alleles for long and short tails respectively. According to the first cross in the question where a brown short-tailed mice (BBtt) was crossed with a white long-tailed mouse (bbTT) to produce a brown long offspring (BbTt), it shows that the brown fur allele (B) and Long tail allele are dominant over the white fur allele and short tail allele respectively. Since, their expression is masked.

Hence the F1 offsprings genotype is BbTt. When BbTt are crossed with a white fur and short-tailed mouse (bbtt), each parent produces the following gamete:

BbTt: BT, Bt, bT and bt

bbtt: bt, bt, bt, bt

Combining these gametes in a punnet square will produce 16 possible offsprings with only four different genotypes in the ratio 1:1:1:1.

The four genotypes with their Phenotypes are:

BbTt: brown fur, long tail (4)

Bbtt: brown fur, short tail (4)

bbTt: white fur, long tail (4)

bbtt: white fur, short tail (4)

What are polygenic traits controlled by
STALIN [3.7K]

Polygenic traits are those traits that are controlled by more than one gene. Such traits may even be controlled by genes located on entirely different chromosomes. Human height, eye and hair color are examples of polygenic traits. Skin color is another polygenic trait for humans and a variety of other animals

Define the term cell differentiation and describe its importance to an organism
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Cellular differentiation describes how different cells perform different processes and have unique functions. There are at least 250 cells in the human body and each one plays a different role, and <em>all</em> of them are crucial to the body's ability to maintain homeostasis. For example, liver cells produce proteins that are important in blood clotting. If these cells are damaged, blood will not clot properly. If blood does not clot, a body cannot maintain homeostasis and the person will fall ill.

TL;DR: every cell plays its part and keeps the organism alive.

Which muscles are also known as the smooth muscles
adoni [48]

Answer:

involuntary muscle

Explanation:

Involuntary muscles are those that cannot be controlled by will or consciousness and are frequently associated with organs that contract and relax slowly and regularly. Because there are no striations when viewed under a microscope, involuntary muscles are also known as smooth muscles or non-striated muscles.

Which of the following best defines a gene pool?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be a. the sum of all genetic traits in a population’s individuals at a given time.

A gene pool is defined as a sum total of all the genes present in an inter-breeding population at a specific time.

It includes all the alleles of all the loci within the genes of a interbreeding population or species.

The composition of the gene pool of a population can change with course of a time due to evolution.

A large and diverse gene pool enhances the ability of a population to adapt, survive and evolve in a nature.
