Suppose that in unicorns, two autosomal loci interact to determine the type of tail. One locus controls whether a tail is presen

t at all. The allele for a tail, T, is dominant over the allele for no tail, t. If a unicorn has a tail, then alleles with an unknown dominance relationship at a second locus determine whether the tail is curly or straight. Define the alleles for tail texture as US for a straight tail and UC for a curly tail.

Nina [5.8K]3 years ago

Explanation:

As you can see in the picture below, this is a dihybrid cross with a twist.

We can accomplish that mutually parentages are heterozygotes for both characters because the genotypes are  

9 unicorns with curly tails (shown in green)

3 with straight tails (shown in red)

3  curly tales trait carriers with no tail (shown in dark blue)

1  straight tail trait carriers with no tail ( shown in light blue)

If this was an ordinary case of the dihybrid cross, we would get a 9:3:3:1 phenotype ratio.

However, since the first trait, the presence of the tail, is affecting the other trait, the trait texture, the ratio is altered.

\frac{1}{4} of the offspring (genotypes tt C_   and tt SS) has no tail, therefore we cannot observe the texture of the tail (some of the tailless individuals have Curly alleles -blue squares marked with green, some of them have Straight alleles -blue square marked with red ).

Therefore, the altered ratio is  \frac{1}{2} curly tails,\frac{1}{4} straight tales, \frac{1}{4} tailless

The symptoms of tetanus are caused by the neurotoxin ________.
seropon [69]

Answer:

The correct answer is the neurotoxin known as tetanospasmin toxin.

Explanation:

Tetanus is a disease caused by a bacteria known as clostridium. The bacteria are found in soil, manure, dust, and saliva. It can enter the host body by a cut or rusted or dusty nail or burn. It causes muscle spasm or jaw locking or bone locking.

It releases the neurotoxin that is tetanospasmin toxin that inhibits the secretion of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and results in a variety of symptoms associated with tetanus.

Thus, the correct answer is the neurotoxin known as tetanospasmin toxin.
