Answer:

D.Mendel's law of independent assortment is being violated.

Explanation:

According to Mendel in his law of independent assortment, the allele of one gene gets sorted into gametes independently of the allele of another gene. He discovered this when he performed a cross involving two characters i.e. dihybrid cross, which he obtained a F2 phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. This ratio is only possible if each allele of each gene is represented in each gamete i.e. a dominant allele of the first gene is equally likely possible to be contained with a dominant or recessive allele in the second gene.

If this occurs according to the Mendel's law of independent assortment, a total of four possible combinations of gametes should be produced by each parent organism. When this 4 gametes are crossed in a punnet square, a total of 16 offsprings will be possible.

However, in this case, a total of 12 offsprings were produced, depicting that the alleles did not separate independently of one another to produce four possible gametes.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Binding of   <u>ACh (acetylcholine)  </u>  to receptors (ligand-gated) on the sarcolemma at the neuromuscular junction is vital for depolarization of the muscle fiber.

Explanation:

It allows acetylcholine to be released into this synapse when an action potential hits a neuromuscular junction. Acetylcholine attaches to the nicotinic receptors localized on the post-synaptic membrane of the muscle fibre's motor end plate, a specialized region.

Hence , the answer is  <u>ACh (acetylcholine) .</u>

Incomplete dominance shows phenotypes of both dominat and reccessive trait !!

so supppose red is AA
the white is aa
and pink is Aa (heterozygous thus pink)

on crossing Aa to Aa (two pink)

we have ; AA , Aa, Aa, aa

thus 1 red, 2 pink, 1 white
Ratio - 1:2:1
