Consider a cross to investigate the pea pod texture trait, involving constricted or inflated pods. Mendel found that the traits

behave according to a dominant/ recessive pattern in which inflated pods were dominant. If you performed this cross and obtained 650 inflated-pod plants in the F2 generation, approximately how many constricted-pod plants would you expect to have?
A. 600
B.165
C. 217
D. 468

Answer:

C. 217

Explanation:

Mendel obtained the phenotypic ratio of 3 dominant: 1 recessive in the F2 generation of a monohybrid cross. According to the given information, inflated pods are dominant over the constricted one.

Let's assume that the allele C is responsible for inflated pods while the recessive allele "c" gives constricted pods. A cross between two pure breeding plants with inflated (CC) and constricted pods (cc) would give all the plants with inflated pods (Cc) in the F1 generation. A cross between two F1 plants would obtain F2 generation in following ratio=3 Inflated: 1 constricted.

Therefore, if 650 plants with inflated pods were obtained in the F2 generation, 217 plants must have constricted pods since 650:217 is almost equal to 3:1.

Introns in pre-mRNA: a. protect pre-mRNA from enzyme degradation. b. move within the mRNA, giving rise to new exon combinations.
suter [353]

Answer: c. are spliced out of the message.

Explanation: Intron are non-coding portion of the DNA sequence. They do not code for any specific amino acid and are spliced or removed before splicing.

Exons are DNA sequence that code for specific amino acid they are usually left after introns are removed and are joined together before translation into amino acid sequence. Intron splicing can lead to splicing some exons which can lead to formation of an entirely new amino acid or protein.

Spliceosome are enzymes for splicing introns.
