Three parasitic flagella and their Vectors:

1. Giardasis is a parasite that causes diarrhea or Giardia Lamblia infection in humans and animals It infects the small intestines of Human beings and animals once they ingest Giardia cysts from contaminated food and water or fecal-oral route. Plasmid or prokaryotic DNA is the vector for this parasite

2. Trypanosoma cruzi is a parasite that causes Chagas disease. These parasites occur in the bloodstreams of man but do not multiply there. Vector for this parasite is hemipterous or kissing bugs.

3. Trichomonas vaginalis is a parasite that can be found in the vagina of women and urethra of men.This parasite does not survive more than 24 hours outside the body of the host. Vector for this parasite is the human male.

In certain mice, long tails (T) are dominant over short tails (t). If 2 hybrid mice mate, what will the outcome be?

yuradex [85]

Answer:

3 long tails : 1 short tail

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for tail length in mice. The allele for long tail (T) is dominant over the allele for short tail (t). This means that an heterozygous mice will possess the long tail length.

According to this question, in a cross between two hybrid or heterozygote mice i.e. Tt × Tt, the following gametes will be produced by each parent:

Tt - T and t

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following will be produced: TT, Tt, Tt and tt.

Offsprings with genotype TT, Tt and Tt will have a LONG TAIL while genotype tt will have a SHORT TAIL. Hence, the phenotypic ratio will be 3 long tails : 1 short tail.
