In chickens, comb shape is determined by genes at two loci (R, r and P, p). A walnut comb is produced when at least one dominant

gene R is present at one locus and at least one dominant gene P is present at a second locus (genotype R_ P_). A rose comb is produced when at least one dominant gene is present at the first locus and two recessive genes are present at the second locus (genotype R_ pp). A pea comb is produced when two recessive genes are present at the first locus and at least one dominant gene is present at the second (genotype rr P_). If two recessive genes are present at the first and the second locus (rr pp), a single comb is produced. Give genotypes for comb shape of the parents in the following cross: Rose crossed with pea produces 20 walnut offspring.
a. RR PP × rr pp
b. RR Pp × rr pp
c. Rr PP × rr pp
d. Rr Pp × rr pp
e. Rr pp × rr pp

Answer:

in the obtained options, there is no dominant gene for the crossed pairs, therefore, no answer would be correct, however, when assigning a dominant character to the P gene, the correct answer would be:

E. Rr pp *rrPp

Explanation:

According to the information obtained we deduce:

Comb shape is produced by R and P

Comb of walnuts with an R or a P

Pink comb: 1 dominant P and R at the first locus and 2 recessive at the next locus

Pea comb: 2 recessive at the start and one dominant in the next position

1 single comb: 2 recessive at both loci

Rr pp × rr Pp will produce from the interbreeding: 2 walnuts, 1 single and 1 pea offspring.

We deduce that for the pink comb the genotype is: Rrpp

and for the pea comb it is rrPp

Rr pp × rr Pp generates crosslinks containing RrPp, rrPp, rrpp as children in a 2: 1: 1 ratio.

A woman produces an egg with 24 chromosomes, including 2 copies of chromosome 21. If the egg is fertilized by a normal sperm, th
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

47

Explanation:

We all know that gametes like egg cell and sperm have haploid set of chromosomes but here as per this question she has produced 2 copies of chromosome 21. For the sake of maintaining haploidy, she was supposed to have only a single copy of chromosome 21 as a result of which her egg cell was supposed to have 23 chromosomes not 24.

But, this is a case of non dis-junction. Also, in a normal sperm there are no such copies of any chromosome i.e. there is a haploid set of chromosomes. It means that sperm must be having only 23 chromosomes. So we can easily infer that when the egg cell and sperm will fuse, the zygote will have 47 chromosomes (24 from egg cell and 23 from sperm).
