In cattle, coats may be solid white, solid black, or black-and-white spotted. When true-breeding solid whites are mated with tru

e-breeding solid blacks, the F1 generation consists of all solid white individuals. After many F1×F1 matings, the following ratio was observed in the F2 generation: 12/16 solid white 3/16 black-and-white spotted 1/16 solid black Part A How many gene pairs are involved in the inheritance of cattle coat color?

Answer:

Two locus

Explanation:

Let assume  the gene for white (1st locus) be W i.e. ww = recessive

here, Let the alleles for the 2nd locus be B and b.

White: W_B_, W_bb

Black&White: wwB_

Black: wwbb

This is dominant epistasis. In dominant epistasis, where the dominant allele of the 1st locus (W) masks or hide the expression of the 2nd locus. When the two alleles in the 1st locus are recessive (ww), the alleles in the 2nd locus can be expressed(B and b).

Answer:

e. Red segregated from brown in meiosis I, and straight segregated from curled in meiosis I.

Explanation:

A cross between two flies heterozygous for both genes produced an offspring with the phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. This ratio is expected according to Mendel's law of independent assortment, which states that alleles of the same gene assort independently during gamete formation.

Before meiosis starts in flies, a single diploid cell duplicates its DNA, so each chromosome has 2 sister chromatids that contain the same information.

  • During meiosis I, <u>the homologous chromosomes separate</u> into two daughter cells. The chromosome number is reduced by half, but each chromosome has two sister chromatids.
  • During meiosis II, <u>the sister chromatids separate</u> and each daughter cell from meiosis I divides into two new daughter cells (to get the total of 4 haploid cells).

In a heterozygous fly, each homologous chromosome contains a different allele, and the sister chromatids are copies that carry the same allele. For that reason, both traits were segregated during meiosis I.

Answer:

Detergents are knows as a class of molecules whose having unique properties to enable formation of hydrophobic-hydrophilic interaction among molecules in membrane. This unique property of detergents are used to dissolve membrane protein in water solution or in any solution.

Detergents are used to lyse cells, solubilize membrane lipids, and proteins, prevent protein crystalization, and nonspecific binding.

Kobotan [32]
The answer is tissue fluid. Tissue fluid holds far smaller quantity of protein molecules because they are too large to escape easily over the tiny holes in the capillary endothelium. Tissue fluid doesn't contain red blood cells because they are too large, but does comprise some white blood cells.
