does color blindness work as a sex linked trait??

Color blindness is a sex-linked trait that is carried on the X chromosome. For a female to express the color blindness trait, she must have the color blindness gene on both X chromosomes. If she only has it on one, she will not be color blind, but will be considered a carrier. Since males only have one X chromosome, a male with the color blindness gene on his X chromosome will be color blind.

Answer:

The answer is A, homozygous donimant - although i have a feeling that the question you posed was not right, were both the parents meant to be homozygous? or should one be heterozygous? (it's just that would be a better question!)

Most of your cooking equipment is copper and your utensils are silver, so which sanitizer would you NOT want to use

AURORKA [14]

If most of my cooking equipment is copper and my utensils are silver, I will not want to use a sanitizer that contain CHLORINE. This is because, chlorine in the sanitizer will react with the silver of the utensils to form a black layer of silver chloride on the utensils. Also, chlorine will react with the copper of the cooking equipment to form a cloud of copper ll chloride which will dissolve when it comes in contact with water forming a blue green solution.<span />

Discuss the three theoretical models which describes structure of the DNA and describe the semi conservative replication of the

sattari [20]

Answer:

Three theoretical models for the replication of DNA had been proposed in the past. Out of these, the method of semi-conservative replication is most widely accepted.

Conservative replication: In this method, no DNA unwinding takes place. The parent DNA gives rise to daughter DNA.

Dispersive Method: In this method, the chains in the DNA molecule break and recombination occurs randomly. The daughter and parent strands will have segments of recombinant DNA.

Semi- conservative: In this method, the two strands of the double helix unwind. Each strand acts as a template for the synthesis of a new strand.

DNA replication is more complex in eukaryotes as compared to prokaryotes. Prokaryotes have a single point of origin from where the replication begins. Eukaryotes have multiple points of origin. Eukaryotic cells have a unidirectional method of replication whereas prokaryotes do not. Prokaryotes just have two polymerases whereas eukaryotes have more than four. The replication rate is faster in prokaryotes.

Create a Punnett square to model asexual reproduction of bacteria with the dominant trait T, recessive trait t.

Natalka [10]

In an asexual mode of reproduction both the parents have same traits on their allels and also their offspring have the same genetic information and are similar with least diversion in their genetic information

For example

TT X tt cross will give

Tt, Tt, Tt, Tt
