A certain species of grasshopper can have red stripes, yellow stripes, or red and yellow stripes. An RR grasshopper has red stri
pes, an YY grasshopper has yellow stripes, and an RY grasshopper has red and yellow stripes. A grasshopper with red stripes mates with a grasshopper with yellow stripes. What ratio would you expect to see in the phenotypes of their offspring?
All of the offspring will have RY (Red and yellow stripes). If you set up a punnet square and solve, you will see that all four offspring have RY genotype, therefore their phenotype is red and yellow stripes
<span>Proteins are made of Amino Acids, and the sequence of these determine how the protein will fold up and take shape which ultimately determines its function.
The amino acids are held together with peptide bonds, which is a special type of chemical bond.</span>
