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.

PLZZZ HELPPP<br> Explain how rocks can be analyzed to determine the history of an area.
larisa [96]

Answer:

Well let's take Sedimentary rock for example, The Law of Superposition which measures the average age of Sedimentary rocks using rocks around it. So you would use that rocks below it are older and that Extrusions and Intrusions are younger than the rocks which are stable.

More solar energy reaches the equatorial regions than the polar regions because the equatorial regions
crimeas [40]


The answer is that the equatorial regions receive sun rays closest to the vertical (direct rays) because of their position relative to the equator where the tilting of the earth only mildly affects the climate. The climate along the equator  changes very little through out the year and has summer like conditions for  most of the year.

However the other regions may receive direct sun rays but for far more limited periods.  In the months of July and August (summer months), the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and receives the most  direct  rays. The opposite occurs in December and January when it is tilted away from the sun and thus winter sets in, whereas the southern hemisphere is at this time tilted toward the sun and receives the most direct sun rays.

katovenus [111]

Answer and Explanation: The figure below shows the doses of BPA administered to the female mice over time.

An experiment is used to determine cause and effect among variables. When the research is for the impact of a treatment, researchers randomly separate individuals in two groups:

  • <em><u>Control</u></em> <em><u>Group</u></em> doesn't receive any treament or a placebo or a treatment whose outcome is already known;
  • <em><u>Treatment</u></em> <em><u>Group</u></em> receives the treatment;

For the female mice on the image below, in the First Group is not injected any dosage of BPA, so they are the control group, while the <u>others</u> are <u>treatment group</u>.

The variables in a experiment are classified as independents or dependents:

  • <em><u>Independent</u></em> <em><u>Variable</u></em> is the cause;
  • <em><u>Dependent</u></em> <em><u>Variable</u></em> is the effect;

For the BPA research, since it is the effect of BPA over time on the mice's cells it is being investigated, <u>dosage</u> of BPA is the <u>independent</u> variable and <em>time</em> is the <em>dependent</em> variable.
