Answer:
Genotypic ratio of offsprings will be: 1 (Hh) : 1 (hh)
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for the possession or not of Hitchhiker's thumb in humans. The allele that codes for Hitchhiker's thumb (H) is dominant over the allele for no hitchhiker's thumb (h).
Based on this question, if woman who does not have hitchhiker's thumb (hh) marries a man who is heterozygous for hitchhiker's thumb (Hh) i.e. hh × Hh, the following gametes will be produced by each parent:
hh - h and h
Hh - H and h
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the offsprings with the following genotypic ratio will be likely produced:
1 (Hh) : 1 (hh)
N.B:
- Two (2) of them were Hh i.e. with Hitchhiker's thumb
- The other two were hh i.e. no hitchhiker's thumb.
Answer:
Abstract. Reverse transcriptase (RT), also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase, is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into DNA. This enzyme is able to synthesize a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed in a first step into a single-strand DNA.
In a double stranded RNA form, retroviruses infect a host cell with their genome, and then are reverse transcribed into double stranded DNA, with the DNA then integrated into the home cell genome.
The enzymes are encoded and used by viruses that use reverse transcription as a step in the process of replication. Reverse-transcribing RNA viruses, such as retroviruses, use the enzyme to reverse-transcribe their RNA genomes into DNA, which is then integrated into the host genome and replicated along with it.
Genes, which are carried on (a) chromosomes, are instructions for making the RNA and protein molecules that are necessary for all of processes of life. The (b) interleukin-2 protein and (c) alpha-2u-globulin protein are just two examples of human proteins that are encoded by genes.
