In a particular species of mammal, black hair (B) is dominant to green hair (b), and red eyes (R) are dominant to white eyes (r)

. When a BbRr individual is mated with a bbrr individual, offspring are produced in a ratio of 5 black hair and red eyes:5 green hair and white eyes:1 black hair and white eyes:1 green hair and red eyes. Which of these explanations accounts for this ratio? 1. Green-haired individuals have a higher prenatal mortality than black-haired individuals.
2. The genes for hair color and the genes for eye color are carried on different chromosomes.
3. The expected results did not take genetic recombination into account.
4. The genes for both of these traits are carried on the autosomes.
5. The genes for hair color and eye color are linked.

<h2>The correct option is (5)</h2>

Explanation:

  • The genes for hair color and eye color are linked.
  • The linked genes are physically close to one another on the same chromosomes so they are most likely to be inherited together.
  • Linked genes cannot be found on a different chromosomes.
  • If genes are located closely,then their chances of recombination is more in comaprison to the genes which are located far on the same chromosomes.

What molecule is the source of information for transcription.
Grace [21]

DNA is the molecule, which is the source of information for transcription.

• During the process of transcription, RNA polymerase is an enzyme, which is accountable for copying a sequence of DNA into a sequence of RNA.

• The RNA polymerase monitors the phenomenon of transcription.

• At the time of transcription, the information is stored within a molecule of DNA, which is further copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA.

Thus, the correct answer is DNA.

3. (b) How does crossing over increase the variation in the gametes (and hence the offspring)?
sasho [114]

Answer:

During crossing over, part of one chromosome is exchanged with another. The result is a hybrid chromosome with a unique pattern of genetic material. Gametes gain the ability to be genetically different from their neighboring gametes after crossing over occurs.
