You study eye formation using Mexican cave-dwelling blind fish. You know that blindness is a trait controlled by multiple genes

and inherited in a recessive manner. A blind fish from a true-breeding line in one cave was crossed to a blind fish from a true-breeding line in anothercave. If the mutation that causes blindness is in two different genes in the two fish, you should see:

Answer:

The whole progeny will be <u>not-blinded</u>. All the individuals in the F1 will be able to see.          

Explanation:  

Multiple genes can affect the same trait. Two blind fishes can produce not-blinded offspring because parents have mutations in two different genes. This is a case of <u>complementation</u>. When parents have a mutation in the same gene, this process is known as non-complementation, and in these cases, their progeny will exhibit the mutated trait.

We know that blindness is a trait controlled by multiple genes and inherited in a recessive manner. So we need at least two genes to have not-blinded eyes, and in the exposed example the mutation that causes blindness is in fact in two different genes.

So let´s say that genes B and E are two genes involved in eye formation and that their respective recessive alleles will express blindness. Then:

Cross: A blind fish from a true-breeding line in B gene crossed to a blind fish from a true-breeding line in E gene.

Parental) BB ee   x   bb EE

Gametes) Be   Be   Be   Be

                 bE   bE   bE  bE

Punnet square)    Be      Be      Be      Be

                   bE   BbEe  BbEe  BbEe  BbEe

                   bE   BbEe  BbEe  BbEe  BbEe

                   bE   BbEe  BbEe  BbEe  BbEe

                   bE   BbEe  BbEe  BbEe  BbEe

F1) 100 %  BbEe, heterozygote for both genes. None of the F1 individuals are blind.

A learning process that can occur only during a limited period of the individual's development is called _____.
likoan [24]
This process is called as imprinting. It occurs at a particular stage of life and is, therefore, a phase-sensitive learning process. It can be of many types, including filial imprinting, where an offspring gains some of its behavioral characteristics from the parent, or sexual imprinting, through which desirable characteristics of a mate are recognized by a young animal.

What types of antigen do T cells NOT recognize? What types of antigen do T cells NOT recognize? self-antigens bacterial antigens
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Self-antigens are not recognized and attacked by the T cells.

Explanation:

In immunology, the antigens are those substances which are bound by the antibodies. The antigens can be originated from within the bodies, known as self antigens or from outside the body, known as non-self antigens. The immune system identifies and attacks non-self invaders or the foreign harmful objects present in the body. It does not attack the self-antigens under the normal conditions. This is due to the negative selection of T cells of the thymus.
