Barred feather pattern is a Z-linked dominant trait in chickens. What offspring would you expect from (a) the cross of a barred

hen to a non-barred rooster? (b) the cross of an Fl rooster from part (a) to one of his sisters?

Answer:

Let the "barred" allele be caller B and the "non-white" allele b. Since chickens use chromosomes Z  and W to determine sex, hens would have chromosomes ZW, and roosters would have chromosomes ZZ. A Z-linked gene is represented as a superscript on the Z chromosome, Z^{B} for the dominant allele and Z^{b} for the ressesive allele.

A barred hen would have a copy of B on its Z chromosome, a non-barred rooster would have both copies of b on both Z chromosomes. Using Punnet squares to represent the crosses we get the following cases:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ |c|c|c|c| }\ & Z^{B} & W \\ \ Z^{b} & Z^{B}Z^{b} & Z^{b}W \\ \ Z^{b} & Z^{B}Z^{b} & Z^{b}W \\ \end{tabular}\end{center}

That is a ratio of two barred heterozygote roosters to two non-barred hens. Crossing them we get:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ |c|c|c|c| }\ & Z^{b} & W \\ \ Z^{B} & Z^{B}Z^{b} & Z^{B}W \\ \ Z^{b} & Z^{b}Z^{b} & Z^{b}W \\ \end{tabular}\end{center}

That is a ratio of one barred heterozygote rooster to one barred hen to one non-barred rooster to one non barred hen.

Which of the following protist groups correctly completes the sentence below?
Schach [20]

Amoeba are the consumers that surround, engulf, and ingest their food.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Amoeba is a unicellular organism that belongs to the kingdom Protista. This organism are having eukaryotic cells without any cell walls. These organisms have each and every cellular organelle that are needed to perform metabolism.

Amoeba are consumer in mode of nutrition. Whenever they senses some food, they push a part of their cytoplasm packed in cell membrane towards the food to cover it. This process is called pseupodia.

This pseupodia engulfs the food and performs phagocytosis or pinocytosis. This food is covered in a cell membrane inside the cytoplasm which is called the food vacoule or endosome. This then fuses with a lysosome to digest and then the excretory product is let off by the secondary vacoule.

Like all enzymes, restriction endonucleases (REs) need to be handled very carefully to ensure that they do not denature. Which o
andriy [413]

Answer:

The correct answer is:  d. REs activity is best preserved by freezing the RE and thawing it out for brief periods of time as needed.

Explanation:

  • Restriction enzymes can be defined as endonucleases that can recognize specific nucleotide sequence in a DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) sequence and cause breakage of phosphodiester bond in the DNA at the target site. Hence, it has the capacity of cleaving a DNA sequence.
  • These are made up of proteins which are required to be present in the accurately folded conformation in order to function.
  • Any form of alteration in the three-dimensional structure of the protein induced due to physical, chemical, mechanical or physiological factors can cause denaturation of the protein which in turn can render the protein non-functional.
  • Freezing of restriction enzymes (REs) directly without the use of glycerol will cause the movement of water molecules within the proteins as well layering of water molecules on the protein surface.
  • At low temperature these water molecules change to ice crystals which can alter the conformation of the protein or can cause breakage of peptide bonds in the proteins by physical force.
  • This can cause the protein to get denatured and hence non-functional.
  • Hence, it is never advisable to preserve REs by freezing directly without glycerol.
  • Glycerol forms a layer around the protein molecules and prevents the protein molecules from coming into direct contact with the water molecules and hence prevents protein denaturation.
