Duroc Jersey pigs are typically red, but a sandy variation is also seen. When two different varieties of true-breeding sandy pig

s were crossed to each other, they produced F1 offspring that were red. When these F1 offspring were crossed to each other, they produced red, sandy, and white pigs in a 9:6:1 ratio. Explain this pattern of inheritance in terms of number of genes, and any allele or gene interactions.

Answer:

The sandy variation could be as a result of a homozygous recessive allele at one of two varying genes in these two different types of sandy pigs. Let's refer to them as genes A and B.

A kind of sandy pig may be aaBB and the variety AAbb. The F1 generation in this cross produces heterozygotes for both genes to give all red. This indicates that the A and B alleles are dominant. In the F2 generation, 6 out of 16 give us homozygous for either the aa or bb alleles and produces sandy.

Out of 16 will we have one that would be doubly homozygous and be white. The other 9 will possess at least one dominant allele for both genes.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The correct option is C. It changes the three-dimensional structure of the active site so that ALAD is no longer compatible with its substrate.

Explanation:

Co-factors are molecules that are required by an enzyme to perform its function of catalysis. If a wrong co-factor binds to the enzyme then it will change the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme and the substrate will no longer fit into the enzyme. Hence, Option C is the best choice that explains the inhibition of ALAD.

Other options are false because :

Option A: The wrong co factor will not affect the substrate nor will it make it compatible for ALAD's active site.

Option B:  The wrong factor doesn't change the amino acid sequence of the protein or enzyme, rather it changes the three dimensional structure of the enzyme.

Option D : The wrong co factor won't allow the reaction to proceed at a faster rate, rather it will inhibit the reaction.

Reactions that require CO₂ take place in ________.
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is: A) the Calvin Cycle alone.

Explanation:

These reactions happen in cells capable of photosynthesis.

The only out of these reactions that require CO2 to take place is the Calvin Cycle. The Calvin Cycle is a series of biochemical processes that occur in the chloroplasts during photosynthesis. <u>The Calvin Cycle uses carbon dioxide (CO2) and water to produce glucose</u>, which will give energy to the cells.

The light reactions occur during photosynthesis in the presence of light and involving photophosphorylation. The light reaction does not make use of CO2, as it takes solar energy and converts it into NADPH and ATP.
