1. Flower position, stem length, and seed shape are three characters that Mendel studied. Each is controlled by an independently

maria [59]

Answer:

a. 1/64 AATTDD

b. 1/64 aattdd

c. 8/64=1/8 AaTtDd

d. 2/64 = 1/32 AATTDd or aattDd or AAttDd or aaTTDd

Explanation:

Available data:

Flower position: Axial (A) is dominant to Terminal (a)

Stem length: Tall (T) is dominant to dwarf (t)

Seed shape: Round (R) is dominant to wrinkled (r)

Cross:

Parental) AaTtDd x AaTtDd

Knowing that these four genes assort independently, then we can infer that the F1 will have the next genotypic proportions for each gene:

AA= 1/4

Aa =2/4

aa = 1/4

TT = 1/4

Tt = 2/4

tt = 1/4

DD = 1/4

Dd = 2/4

dd = 1/4

This is the same as developing a Punnett square for each gene separately.

Knowing this, to get each of the mentioned genotypes for each trait, we must multiply their respective genotypic proportions, like this:

a. homozygous for the three dominant traits, AATTDD

AA1/4 x TT 1/4 x DD 1/4 = AATTDD 1/64

b. homozygous for the three recessive traits, aattdd

aa 1/4 x tt 1/4 x dd 1/4 = aattdd 1/64

c. heterozygous for all three characters, AaTtDd

Aa 2/4 x Tt 2/4 x Dd 2/4 = AaTtDd 8/16=1/8

d. homozygous for axial and tall, heterozygous for seed shape. There are four possibilities, all of them with the same result:

AATTDd --> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

aattDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

AAttDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

aaTTDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

What is the definition of epistasis?

ollegr [7]

The definition of Epistasis in gene biology is Choice D: when the allele of one gene masks the phenotype of another gene

Definition:

When the phenotypic effect of alleles at one gene are masked by alleles of another gene.

In essence, a gene is said to be epistatic when its presence suppresses the effect of a gene at another locus.

It is important to know that Epistatic genes are often called inhibiting genes because of their effect on other genes which are described as hypostatic.

Additionally, there are six common types of epistasis gene interactions:

Dominant

Dominant inhibitory,

Duplicate dominant,

Duplicate recessive,

Polymeric gene interaction,

Recessive.

During cellular respiration, the first CO2 is generated during _____ and the remaining carbons are given off as CO2 during _____

Julli [10]

Answer:

Glycolysis and Krebs cycle.

Explanation:

During cellular respiration, the first carbondioxide gas is generated during glycolysis while the remaining carbons are given off as carbondioxide during Krebs cycle. During the process of glycolysis in cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized forming carbondioxide and water whereas during the Krebs cycle, the two carbon atoms of acetyl-CoA are released and each turns into a carbondioxide molecule.

Which type of process occurred in the ecosystem that was affected by the 1988 fires in Yellowstone Park, which destroyed most of

Liono4ka [1.6K]

The correct answer is B. Secondary succession

Explanation:

In ecosystems, secondary succession occurs as certain events such as fires cause vegetation to temporarily disappear from one area. However, as soil is not affected negatively, vegetation grows again after some time, which means there is a secondary growth of vegetation and changes in the structure of an ecological community.

This term applies to the situation in the 1988 fires in Yellowstone Park because the fire destroyed the vegetation in the zone temporarily, but as the soil was intact after years or decades the vegetation will grow again, although this might implied changes in the ecosystem.
