<u>Answer</u>: Large collection of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The name <em>galaxy</em> has been derived from the word <em>galaxies</em> which is a Greek word meaning milky.
  • In simple words a galaxy is a collection of a large number of stars, however, to be more precise <em>a galaxy is a gravity-bound collection of stars, dust, gas, dark matter and stellar remnants. </em>
  • There are different types of galaxies found in various shapes and size, some of the most common shapes being elliptical, irregular and spiral.
  • An example is the milky way galaxy that contains our solar system.

What is the typical F2 ratio in the case of dominant epistasis?
inysia [295]

Answer:

12:3:1

Explanation:

<em>The typical F2 ratio in cases of dominant epistasis is 12:3:1.</em>

<u>The epistasis is a form of gene interaction in which an allele in one locus interacts with and modifies the effects of alleles in another locus</u>. There are different types of epistasis depending on the type of alleles that are interacting. These include:

  • Dominant/simple epistasis: Here, a dominant allele on one locus suppresses the expression of both alleles on another locus irrespective of whether they are dominant or recessive. Instead of the Mendelian dihybrid F2 ratio of 9:3:3:1, what is obtained is 12:3:1. Examples of this type of gene interaction are found in seed coat color in barley, skin color in mice, etc.
  • Other types of epistasis include <em>recessive epistasis (9:3:4), dominant inhibitory epistasis (13:3), duplicate recessive epistasis (9:7), duplicate dominant epistasis (15:1), and polymeric gene interaction (9:6:1).</em>
