Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for feather color in chickens. The black allele (B) is incompletely dominant over the white allele (W). This means that the allele B will not mask the phenotypic expression of allele W, hence, a third intermediate blue phenotype (BW) will be produced.

According to the question, if two blue chickens are crossed i.e. BW × BW, the gametes B and W will be produced by each parent. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following offsprings will be produced:

BB, BW and WW in the ratio 1:2:1

BB is black, BW is blue, WW is white. Hence, the probability of producing a blue chicken from this cross is 1/2.

Answer:

The genetic information of living organisms is sequenced in DNA, which allows inheritable factors to be transmitted with each replication process. Proteins play a very important role by intervening in their metabolism during the translation and transcription of information. .

eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms have different evolutionary sequelae that are reflected in the mechanisms they use for DNA translation, such as in the initial stages, lengthening and termination of sequencing, these differences are imparted by the order of the genes, the ribosome and its structural form and the promoter sequences.

In this way we can conclude that although the eukaryotic genes enter into a bacterium, the type of information that they take may arrive incomplete and this may generate subsequent defects for their operation, but there may be processes that guarantee a better transfer of information with the use of genetic engineering and enzyme management to introduce different bacterial genetic expressions with eukaryotic genes.
