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 is the the process of making a copy of a gene.
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The process of making a copy of gene is called DNA replication.

Explanation:

This is a four step process. In first step, the DNA molecule which is double helical structure is unzip. This is carried out by enzyme called helicase which is also called biological scissors. Then after that DNA form Y like structure having complementary base pairs. Two strands are formed ; leading strand and lagging strands. They complementary base pairs allow the formation of new strands with help of primer. So new strand is then a copy of gene or called replicated strand.
