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.

There is an enzyme that catalyzes the production of the pigment responsible for dark fur color in siamese cats and himalayan rab
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Light brown colour will be appear.

Explanation:

If the rabbit raised at 20 c then the rabbit gain brown colour because the pigment which is responsible for the dark colour does not work due to increase in temperature. Enzymes are those substances which speedup the chemical reaction so when the temperature becomes higher, the enzyme did not function properly and the colour pigment gives light brown colour to the rabbit.

Why is soil considered a non-<br> renewable resource?<br> Plz help ASAP
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

because you don't get soil like you get the Sun rays everyday. It takes millions of years for formation of soil and you can't get it within the lifespan of one human. Hence it is considered as Non-Renewable resource.

I believe the answer for this would be B. Just using the process of elimination knocks out D and A, and plants make carbs not protein during photosynthesis :)

What season is the northern hemisphere experiencing
Stells [14]
In the Northern Hemisphere, winter generally begins on December 21 or 22. This is the winter solstice, the day of the year with the shortest period of daylight. Summer begins on June 20 or 21, the summer solstice, which has the most daylight of any day in the year. Spring and fall, or autumn, begin on equinoxes, days that have equal amounts of daylight and darkness. The vernal, or spring, equinox falls on March 20 or 21, and the autumnal equinox is on September 22 or 23.
