Corn plants may be tall (TT or Tt) or short (tt). The breeding of two parent corn plants results in offspring that are all tall.

What is the probability that both of the parents in this example are homozygous recessive?

Answer:

0%

Explanation:

  • The probability that both of the parents are homozygous recessive is zero.
  • In our case, The gene for tallness is dominant over the gene for dwarfism
  • Therefore; TT is homozygous dominant while tt is homozygous recessive and Tt is heterozygous.
  • Heterozygous genotype (Tt) will exhibit a tall phenotype.
  • When two parents are crossed and all the offsprings are tall then the possible genotype of the parents is either;
  1. Homozygous dominant for both parents or  

       TT x TT

    2. One parent is homozygous dominant and the other is homozygous recessive.

        TT x Tt

  • Therefore, the probability of having both parents as homozygous recessive when all the offspring are tall is Zero.

The aldol reaction is catalyzed by acid as well as base. What is the reactive nucleophile in the acid-catalyzed aldol reaction
svp [43]

Answer:

The reactive nucleophile is Ketone.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, The process of acid - catalyzed aldol condensation starts from when ketone (or any aldehyde) is converted to an -enol, after which it attacks another ketone/aldehyde that has already been activated by parbonyl oxygen protonation.

The process of this is that first of all the ketone undergoes tautomerization to form -enol. Thereafter, the other carbonyl will undergo protonation which makes the carbon activated towards attack. Now, the nucleophilic enol will be added to the carbonyl in a [1,2]-addition reaction and we will now use deprotonation to obtain the neutral Aldol product.

Now, since only the ketone can produce an -enol, thus it is the nucleophile as aldehydes are better electrophiles
