IF THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION WITH MULTIPLE CHOICE.
Two genes interact to produce various phenotypic ratios among F2 progeny of a dihybrid cross. Design a different pathway explaining each of the F2 ratios below, using hypothetical genes R and T and assuming that the dominant allele at each locus catalyzes a different reaction or performs an action leading to pigment production. The recessive allele at each locus is null (loss-of-function). Begin each pathway with a colorless precursor that produces a white or albino phenotype if it is unmodified. The ratios are for F2 progeny produced by crossing wild-type F1 organisms with the genotype RrTt.
9/16 Dark Blue 6/16 light blue 1/16 white
A) At least one copy of each dominant allele results in dark blue, at least one copy of either dominant allele produces light blue, and the absence of both dominant allele produces white.
B) If both dominant alleles are present, the result is dark blue. At least one copy of one specific dominant allele is required for light blue. If that dominant allele is not present, the result is white, regardless of whether the other dominant allele is present.
C) At least one copy of both dominant alleles results in dark blue; at least one copy of one of the dominant alleles also results in dark blue, but at least one copy of the other dominant allele produces light blue; and the absence of either dominant allele produces white.
MY ANSWER IS:
A) At least one copy of each dominant allele results in dark blue, at least one copy of either dominant allele produces light blue, and the absence of both dominant allele produces white.
Answer:
The correct answer to the question is: b) Amphipathic molecules.
Explanation:
- The membrane structures are composed of molecules having both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions. These are called Amphipathic molecules.
- The hydrophobic region is formed of water insoluble lipid (fatty acid) molecules which tend to avoid contact with water and so remain in the interior of the membrane.
- The hydrophilic region is formed by water soluble phosphate groups which forms hydrogen bonds with the water molecules and so remain on the surface of the membrane.
- Therefore, a membrane is formed from by a phospholipid bilayer, that is, two layers of phospholipid polymer where the lipid part is directed towards the centre away from water and the phosphate part towards the surface in association with water molecules.
- A single phopholipid moiety is composed of a glycerol molecule which forms two ester bonds with a phosphate group and a fatty acid molecule.
=frequency of dominant allele
=0.0004
will be 0.02;frequency of recessive allele will be 0.02
