In healthcare amenities like in nursing homes and hospitals, MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infection is one of the most common concern. These infections generally involve the skin, and the individuals who are healthy can also get infected with the condition.  

In order to prevent MRSA infection, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers need to follow certain steps. These are as follows:  

1. Carefully clean the hospital rooms and medical apparatuses.  

2. Clean their hands with soap and water, or with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer prior and post caring for a patient.

3. Test some patients to observe if they exhibit MRSA on their skin. This is done by swabbing a cotton tip in the nostril or on the skin of the patient.  

4. Use contact precautions, while caring for the patients with MRSA.

A true-breeding plant with inflated pods and yellow pods is crossed with a plant that has constricted and yellow pods. Draw a
xenn [34]

Answer:    Sysy ×  Sysy  i.e. <em>all are genotypically heterozygous, inflated, and yellow</em>

Explanation:

Punnett squares are a diagrammatic means of determining traits of hybrid offspring produced via crosses in genetic breeding. The parental genotypes and phenotypes are usually known, and these typically follow standard Mendelian ratios and inheritance.

Mendelian genetics focus on trait inheritance, or heritability. These traits are packaged out into its own gamete, inherited by themselves and often show dominance, where one's effect may mask those of another trait.

These are called the Law of Segregation, Independent assortment and Dominance respectively.

For this cross...

Parent generation or P generation:

gametes: Y → pod color green dominant (Y), yellow recessive (y)

                S→ pod size; inflated dominant (S), constricted recessive (c)

Assumptions...

  • True breeding plants are homozygous, with identical sets of alleles
  • The other parent is heterozygous, as it was not said to breed true

P generation:                          SySy  × sysy

<em>                             yellow,  inflated    </em>× <em> yellow,  constricted</em>

<em></em>

F1 generation:                           Sysy ×  Sysy              ...(from punnet square)

<em>phenotype</em><em>:        yellow,  inflated    </em>× <em> yellow,  inflated </em>

<em></em>

<em>∴ all are genotypically heterozygous, inflated, and yellow</em>
