In guinea pigs coat color is determined by a single gene with two alleles. A guinea pig from a true-breeding black strain is mat

ed with a guinea pig from a true-breeding white strain. The F1 progeny are all black. Two of the F1 progeny are mated with each other. What proportion of the black F2 progeny is expected to be homozygous?

Answer:

1/3 of black F2 progeny will be homozygous.

Explanation:

Here, BB = black coat color = true breeding dominant black strain

bb = white coat color =  true breeding recessive white strain

When true breeding black and white guinea pigs are mated to give F1 progeny:

BB X bb = Bb ( all black guinea pigs )

When two of the F1 guinea pigs are mated to give F2 progeny:

Bb X Bb = BB, Bb, Bb, bb

F2 progeny has 3/4 progeny as black (BB and Bb) . Out of them 1/3 are homozygous and 2/3 are heterozygous.

Hence, 1/3 of black F2 progeny will be homozygous.

Answer:

The first attached figure below shows the design of an agarose gel with four sequencing reactions. The second figure presents a photo of an agarose gel, so that you can better understand how the bands are represented in this gel.

Explanation:

To view the bands of four sequencing reactions on an agarose gel, you will need to use a melted agarose gel, plastic combs suitable for that reaction and a container suitable for that type of gel. You will place the plastic combs in the container and pour all the gel into the vat and wait for the melted gel to solidify. The plastic combs will form holes in the hardened gel where the DNA samples will be placed.

Once the gel is hardened, you will remove the plastic combs and begin to apply the sequenced DNA.

The sequenced DNA samples will be mixed with a dye, usually bromophenol blue, which will allow you to visualize the bands formed on the gel. You will also apply the dye to a sample without DNA containing only the dye, which serves as a comparison for the size of the bands.

Each sample of DNA will be plated in the column of holes formed by the plastic combs. Then, this container, with the gel, will be placed in a larger container that contains a loading buffer. The larger container will be closed and an electric field will be applied that will force the DNA samples to be moved from one pole to another inside the container, in this case, the samples leave the negative pole for the positive pole.

After a few minutes, it is possible to visualize the DNA displacement and at the end of the procedure it will be possible to visualize the formation of bands as shown in the drawing and in the figure below. The size of these bands can be compared and analyzed.

D. The factors for heredity called alleles

DNA is an acid in the chromosomes in the center of the cells of living things. DNA determines the particular structure and functions of every cell and is responsible for characteristics being passed on from parents to their children.

An allele is a viable DNA coding that occupies a given location on a chromosome.
