Imagine a dihybrid cross. if there are 80 progeny (we are talking about snails here), approximately how many snails would you ex

pect to be homozygous recessive for both traits
Biology

galben [10]3 years ago

Dihybrid cross refers to a cross between the two distinct groups, which vary in two observed traits. For the genes on different chromosomes, each of the allelic pair demonstrated independent segregation.

If the initial filial generation generates four similar offspring, the latter filial generation, which takes place by crossing the members of the initial filial generation, demonstrates phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1.

Therefore, dividing the 80 progeny on the basis of the ratio 9:3:3:1, one can anticipate five snails to be homozygous recessive for both the traits. The calculation is to be done on the basis of the ratios and proportions, that is, the sum of ratio numbers 9+3+3+1 = 16.

80*1/16 = 5

What ratio of plants in the offspring would you predict from a Yy x Yy cross?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

The genotype of offspring - 1:2:1 (YY:Yy:yy)

The phenotype of offspring - 3:1 (dominant trait: recessive trait)

Explanation:

In this question, it is stated that there is a cross between Yy and Yy. By the genotype of the parents, we can say that Y is dominant for a particular trait and y is recessive and the parents are in the heterozygous condition in this cross. The gametes these parents will produce are - Y and y and Y and y

then the cross of Yy and Yy would be -

      Y      y

Y    YY    Yy

y     Yy    yy

Offspring from this cross are YY, Yy, Yy, and yy which means the genotypic ratio is - 1:2:1 and the phenotypic ratio is - 3:1 as three out of four are dominant.

What determines the primary structure of a protein?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

A protein's primary structure is defined solely by its amino acid sequence, and is constructred by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acid residues. Secondary structure results from hydrogen bonding along the polypeptide backbone, resulting in alpha-helices and beta-pleated sheets.

Both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria can cause infections in people, generally in environments that enable the bacteria to thrive
Alex787 [66]
Aerobic bacteria cause an infection on the surface of the skin, and anaerobic bacteria cause an infection in a heart muscle.
An aerobic bacteria can survive and grow in a oxygenated environment. A perfect environment is the skin because it's in contact with a lot of oxygen.On the other hand, an anaerobic bacteria cannot grow in the presence of oxygen. So for them to cause an infection, they need to be in a place without this gas, just like the heart which a deep tissue.

Which reason best explains why carbon is able to form marcromolecules
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer: The atom of carbon is able to form macromolecules because it has only four electrons in its outer shell. This is the reason why it can bond with four other carbon atoms. The bonds that it forms with other carbon molecules are very stable.

Explanation: I did my research and i also took Science class. :)

Hope this Helps :).
