Answer:
The correct answer is- 4:0
Explanation:
Marfan syndrome is a genetic problem which affects the connective tissue in the body. The trait for this disease is autosomal dominant which means even one abnormal copy of this gene in the offspring or individual is sufficient to cause this syndrome.
Let S is the allele that is dominant for this syndrome and s is recessive. So if a cross between homozygous dominant(SS) and heterozygous individual (Ss) occurs than all the offspring would have this syndrome.
S s
S SS Ss
S SS Ss
Therefore all 4 offspring would have at least one dominant allele which is sufficient to cause this syndrome. So the phenotype ratio would be 4:0.
Answer:
The correct answer is a gene
Explanation:
The DNA segment that carries information for coding one protein or polypeptide is called a gene. According to one gene-one polypeptide hypothesis, each gene is responsible for making a single chain of the polypeptide.
Originally it was said that one gene codes for one enzyme but later it was found that some gene also codes for non-enzyme proteins and single polypeptide chains. So after this research, the theory was modified and one gene-one polypeptide theory came. Therefore the right answer is gene.
