A geneticist discovers an obese mouse in his ca laboratory colony. he breeds this obese mouse with a normal mouse. all the f1 mi

ce from this cross are normal in size. when he interbreeds two f1 mice, eight of the f2 mice are normal in size and two are obese. the geneticist then intercrosses two of his obese mice, and he finds that all of the progeny from this cross are obese. these results lead the geneticist to conclude that obesity in mice results from a recessive allele. a second geneticist at a laboratory in ny also discovers an obese mouse in her laboratory colony. she carries out the same crosses as those done by the first geneticist and obtains the same results. she also concludes that obesity in mice results from a recessive allele. the geneticists meet and share their mice with each other. they both find that when they cross an obese ca mouse with an obese ny mouse, all the offspring are normal. explain their results.

The first geneticist has identified an obese allele that he or she believes to be recessive. We will define his or her allele as o1 and the normal allele as O1. The obese allele appears to be recessive based on the series of crosses he or she performed.

Cross 1 with possible genotype:  

 Obese (o1o1) × Normal (O1O1)  F1 All normal (O1o1)

Cross 2 with possible genotypes:

 F1 normal (Oo1) × F1 normal (O1o1)  F2 8 normal (O1O1 and O1o1)

       2 obese (o1o1)  

Cross 3 with possible genotypes:

 Obese (o1o1) × Obese (o1o1)  All Obese (o1o1)

 A second geneticist also finds an obese mouse in her colony and performs the same types of crosses, which indicate to her that the obese allele is recessive. We will define her obese allele as o2 and the normal allele as O2.

 The cross of obese mice between the two different laboratories produced only normal mice. These different alleles are both recessive. However, they are located at different gene loci. Essentially, the obese mice from the different labs have separate obesity genes that are independent of one another.

 The likely genotypes of the obese mice are as follows:

Obese mouse 1 (o1o1O2O2) × Obese mouse 2 (O1O1o2o2)  

 F1 All normal (O1o1O2o2)

Which of the following is not a sign of possible pest infestation?
Brrunno [24]

The right answer is smelly garbage.

Infestation is the penetration into the body of a parasite whose nature is not microbial.

smelly garbage is not synonymous of infestation, because the olfactory system only detected smelly metabolites of these microorganisms. This does not necessarily mean that the microorganism has managed to penetrate the body.

By cons other proposals are signs and tools for infestation (torn packaging with food leaking out, dead insect bodysuits, feathers, and fur).

Select all that apply. The Chordata phylum consists of _____.
faltersainse [42]
The answer is tunicates. Tunicates are commonly known as sea squirts and are in the Chordata phylum, even though they don't have a back bone. Which is really weird. But they just got put into the same category as humans. This is because they have a notocord and a back bone when they are larvae. But they lose all these when they become adults.

In the citric acid cycle, the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes a reversible reaction using FAD/FADH2 as an oxidizing/red
Aliun [14]

The statement which best explains how the redox component of this reaction contributes to the reaction's ability to be reversible under cellular conditions is; <em>Choice D: The change in the biochemical standard reduction potential is small.</em>

Discussion:

A reversible process is one in which the system and environment can be restored to exactly the same initial states that they were in prior to when the process occurred, if we go backward along the path of the process.

  • However, the necessary condition for a reversible process is therefore the quasi-static requirement.

  • The quasi-static requirement in this case is that the change in the biochemical standard reduction potential is small.
