Creeper in chickens is a condition where chickens are born with very short legs. The creeper allele (C) is dominant over the nor

mal allele (c). Embryos which are homozygous dominant fail to develop in to viable chickens and die before they hatch. What phenotypic ratio would you expect in the live offspring of a cross between two creeper chickens?

Answer:2 creeper, I normal

Explanation: According to mendelian law when 2 creeper are crossed we should have 3 creeper and 1 normal but because homozgous allele is lethal(lethal means allele that are deleterious and it causes the death of the individual carrying it) it leads it death and we have 2 creeper and 2 normal. The creeper are heterozyous having two different allele.

For everywhere that homozygous individual that are dominant for creeper occur it will always leads to there death because the allele are lethal

<h2>Gene interaction</h2>

Explanation:

If the homozygous dominant creepers fail to survive then it is obvious that the two creeper chickens who were crossed are heterozygous.

Genotypes of creeper parents: Cc

Types of gametes produced by them:

  • Gametes with C allele.
  • Gametes with c allele.

When the cross between these chickens will be done then offsprings with three types of genotype will be produced- CC, Cc and cc

Genotypic ratio: CC:Cc:cc = 1:2:1.

Phenotype for CC= creeper but dead

                         Cc= creeper

                         cc= normal

Therefore, the phenotypic ratio=  creeper : normal

                                                    = 2:1

Which description properly describes the plant structures involved in photosynthesis?<br><br>​
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

C Phloem transports glucose to the plant, and stomata release oxygen

Explanation:

A Stomata take in water,sunlight, and carbon dioxide and release oxygen  - this is false, the stomata are for gas exchange (taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen). They do not take in water and sunlight

B Phloem transports water, stomata take in carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll absorbs sunlight - this is false, while it is true that stomata take in carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll absorbs sunlight. phloem does not transport water, that is the xylem.

C Phloem transports glucose to the plant, and stomata release oxygen - this is true. Stomata takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, and phloem transport the products of photosynthesis throughout the plant

D Xylem takes in water, sunlight and carbon dioxide and releases oxygen - this is false. Xylem does take in water, but not sunlight, carbon dioxide or oxygen

Imagine that scientists have discovered an industrial pollutant that modifies the structure of a cell cycle checkpoint protein s
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Carcinogenic

Explanation:

A carcinogenic substance is able to modify or damage the genome in a way which promotes the formation of cancerous cells. Cell cycle checkpoint proteins are very crucial for the progression of normal cell cycle. They check for any anomaly in their designated step and halt the process if it is detected. Repair mechanism is activated and cell cycle does not progress till the damage has been repaired.

Here, the pollutant alters the structure of these proteins such that they lose their function. They are not be able to stop cell cycle from progressing even if there is some damage in the genome. The cell divides and gives rise to more damaged cells. Eventually these cells lose their normal function and just keep dividing due to which their division rate becomes double of the normal rate. It can ultimately give rise to cancer which is why the chemical is carcinogenic.
