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.

Why were slaves important to the colonial economy? Hint: discuss economic interdependence found in the lesson Answer:
bekas [8.4K]

There are many reasons to why slaves were essential in the colonial economy:

Slaves were generally used more in the south, because large plantations were found there, which meant that the need for large amounts of workers.

Slaves provided cheap labors, and as they were not "citizens" of the US, they were not allowed their rights.

Slaves were also relatively easy to buy and replace, however, their survival rates were not that good after they traveled long distance.

etc.

hope this helps

A particular antigen is known to have 6 different antigenic determination sites (epitopes).
charle [14.2K]

Six distinct antibody subtypes can be produced in response to the antigen.

It is assumed that a certain antigen has six distinct antigenic determination sites.

To find out how many various types of antibodies this antigen can trigger production of, read on.

A molecule, chemical structure, foreign particle, pollen grain, or any other substance that can attach to a particular antibody or T-cell receptor is referred to as an antigen.

An epitope is an antigenic determinant, which is the component of an antigen that the immune system recognizes.

An antibody is a large, Y-shaped protein that the immune system employs to recognize and destroy foreign substances like dangerous germs and viruses.
