A new human species was found on a distant planet, whose genetic inheritance and process of reproduction is identical to that of

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

E/e ; T/t ⇒ Square eyes and long tail (Option D)
3/16 will have round eyes and long tails (Option C)
1/4 of the progeny will be heterozygous for both traits (Option A)

Explanation:

Available data:

Two diallelic unlinked genes
Gene E controls eye shape: Dominant allele E expresses square eyes, and recessive allele e expresses round eyes.
Gene T controls the tail size. Dominant allele T expresses long trail, and recessive allele t expresses short tail.

Genotypes Phenotypes

EETT, EeTT, EETt, EeTt Square eyes and Long tail

eeTT, eeTt Round eyes and Long tail

EEtt, Eett Square eyes and Short tail

eett Rounf eyes and short tail.

1. An individual of this new species is heterozygous for gene E and heterozygous for gene T. What is their genotype and phenotype?

The heterozygous individual is E/e ; T/t, expressing square eyes and a long tail.

2. Two individuals, who are both heterozygous for eye shape and tail size, mate. Which of the following is a correct statement about the phenotype ratios expected for their offspring?

Cross: between two heterozygous individuals

Parentals) EeTt x EeTt

Gametes) ET, Et, eT, et

1/16 EEtt
2/16 EeTT
4/16 EeTt ⇒ 1/4 EeTt
2/16 Eett
1/16 eeTT
2/16 eeTt
1/16 eett

Phenotype

9/16 E-T-, Square eyes and Long tails
3/16 E-tt, Square eyes and short tails
3/16 eeT-, Round eyes and Long tails
1/16 eett, round eyes and short tail

Phenotypic ratio 9:3:3:1

3. From the mating described in question ABOVE, what proportion of ALL of the offspring in will be heterozygous for both traits?

4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny are expected to be heterozygous for both traits, EeTt.

Why does the actions of the thymus demonstrate a close functional connection between the lymphatic system and the endocrine syst

OleMash [197]

Answer:

The Thymus is a unique gland which protects the body against autoimmunity when the immune system act against itself.Hence the Thymus plays a significant role the dual systems i.e.,the lymphatic system (body’s defensive mechanism) and the endocrine system

Explanation:

The Thymus is special gland located anteriorly to the chest directly behind the sternum and in between the lungs. Active until puberty and gradually shrinks to become fat after puberty.

Function: Prior to birth and during childhood thymus engage in producing and maturation of T-lymphocytes or T-cells a particular type of white blood cells which defence the body against infectious disease germs.Though the organ does not function throughout the life span but it plays a significant role protecting the body against autoimmunity refers to an immune system works against itself .Therefore the thymus plays a key role in lymphatic system and an endocrine system.

Secretion:Thymus secretes Thymosin a hormone it instigates the development of T-Cells ( disease resisting cells) Thymosin stimulates the development of T-Cells until a human attains its puberty. At the age of 75 thymus becomes a fatty tissue.
