A geneticist discovers an obese mouse in his laboratory colony. He breeds this obese mouse with a normal mouse. All the F1 mice

from this cross are normal in size. When he interbreeds two F1 mice, eight of the F2 mice are normal in size and two are obese. The geneticist then intercrosses two of his obese mice, and he finds that all of the progeny from this cross are obese. These results lead the geneticist to conclude that obesity in mice results from a recessive allele. Call this allele O1.
A second geneticist at a different university also discovers an obese mouse in her laboratory colony. She carries out the same crosses as the first geneticist did and obtains the same results. She also concludes that obesity in mice results from a recessive allele. Call this allele O2.

One day the two geneticists meet at a genetics conference, learn of each other's experiments, and decide to exchange mice. They both find that, when they cross two obese mice from the different laboratories, all the offspring are normal; however, when they cross two obese mice from the same laboratory, all the offspring are obese. Select the answer that gives the best explanation for these results.

a. The O1 allele is recessive, but the O2 allele is dominant.
b. The O2 allele is recessive, but the O2 allele is dominant.
c. Both alleles are recessive, but they must be located at different gene loci.
d. Both alleles are dominant, but they must be located at different gene loci

Answer:

<h2>c. Both alleles are recessive, but they must be located at different gene loci.</h2>

Explanation:

Given:

If  he inbred normal mice and obese mice ,  all the F1 mice  are normal.

F1 and F1 interbred : 8 are normal and 2 are obese.

obese and obese = all are obese.

hence O1 proved as recessive allele.

in second experiment :

O2 is proved as recessive allele.

But when both obese mice of different laboratories are inter-crossed, all the offspring are normal, hence it is proved that Both alleles are recessive, but they must be located at different gene loci.

Oxana [17]

Answer: Bacteria will use the oxidised form of sulphur. Among all the forms of sulphur molecule such as sulphate which is the more oxidised form and also the other forms like thiosulphate,elemental sulphur, sulphite, hyposulphite can be used as  an electron acceptor. As the coupling of these organic compounds occur, these sulfur bacterias obtain energy from the subsequent oxidation and then reduction of sulfur forms from sulphate to sulphide which is then released in the environment.

Aleonysh [2.5K]
The temperature is the independent variable. The independent variable is the variable that the researcher can control. And the dependent variable will change because of the change of independent variable. In this question, the student controls the temperature(independent variable) to see wether the gender(dependent variable) will change due to the temperature.
