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.

Compare and contrast the contributions of Neel, Pauling, and Ingram to our understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of s
taurus [48]

He demonstrated that SCD and sickle cell trait were due to the presence of abnormal 8-globin polypeptides in red blood cells. He demonstrated that the electrophhoretic mobility of B-globin from patients with SCD was different from that of healthy individuals. He demonstrated that both parents of multiple patients with SCD had low levels of sickled red blood cells. He hypothesized that SCD was a recessive trait and that the parents of patients with SCD would be heterozygous carriers. He demonstrated that the difference between B-globin polypeptides in individuals who were healthy and those with SCD is an amino acid substitution. He performed a peptide fingerprint analysis on B-globin from individuals with 84 84 and 89 88, which identified the segment of B-globin that was changed by the BS mutation.

Is dog breeding an art???
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:Just because two dogs complement each other in physical appearance does not mean they will complement each other when comparing pedigrees. As spoken so well by my mentor, breeding is an art. When doing a breeding, stick to the breed standard, and strive for perfection
