In genetics, the dash symbol (–) is a "wild card" that stands for either the dominant allele or the recessive allele; for exampl

e, A– means the individual has either the genotype AA or Aa. Two genes that undergo independent assortment affect fruit color in summer squash. Each gene has two alleles, one of which is dominant for fruit color. Genotypes of the form A– B– and A– bb have white fruit, genotypes of the form aa B– have yellow fruit, and genotype aa bb has green fruit. What ratio of white : yellow : green is expected from the cross Aa Bb × Aa Bb?

Answer:

 12     :    3      :    1

white : yellow : green

Explanation:

Given that genes A and B control the fruit colour in following ways:

A_B_ or A_bb = white

aaB_ = yellow

aabb =  green

The genes undergo independent assortment so:

AaBb X AaBb =

A_B_ : A_bb : aaB_ : aabb

  9     :    3     :   3      :   1

white : white : yellow: green

        12          :    3     :   1

Hence, ratio of white : yellow : green is 12: 3: 1

What is the difference between metaphase in mitosis and metaphase I in meiosis? How are they the same?
Vikki [24]
The difference between is metaphase in mitosis has ‘pairs of chromosomes’, while metaphase in meiosis have ‘spindle fibers’. They are the same because metaphase 2 is found in meiosis 2. The metaphase 2 in mitosis, chromosomes are arranged on the metaphase plate and are attached to the completed spindle.

I hope this helps

A color-blind (X-linked recessive) human with Klinefelter syndrome has parents both of whom have normal color vision. 4a. From w
sineoko [7]

The extra X chromosome is received from mother.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Klinefelter's syndrome is the condition of chromosomal aberration where the person has an extra X chromosome. This means the genotype of the person is 44+XXY and the total chromosome number is 47. This condition is achieved due to inappropriate meiotic division and one of the sperm or ovum has the an extra X chromosome.

Here both the parents are normal in terms of colour vision. So the father cannot have the gene of colour blindness because if it was present, then father would have been colour blind because he has only one X chromosome per cell. So its present in mother who is heterozygous in terms of colour blind gene. So the extra X chromosome also came from her which made the presence of two defective X chromosomes in the offspring and made it colour blind.

Harlamova29_29 [7]
A mitotic inhibitor chemotherapy drug would  cause the DNA to break during the early stages of cell division. Mitotic inhibitors are drugs derived from natural plant sources, and work by inhibiting cell division or mitosis, where a single cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells. They may bind to tubulin and inhibit its polemerization into microtubules.

Olenka [21]

This membrane mimics the plasma membrane that is around animal cells. In order to explore how water moves in and out of a cell, one cell was weighed and then submerged in hypertonic solution. The other egg was weighted and submerged in hypotonic solution. It was predicted that the egg submerged in hypertonic solution  would decrease in mass. It was predicted that the egg submerged in hypotonic solution would increase in mass.

Explanation:

The outermost covering of an animal cell is the plasma membrane. It is a selectively permeable membrane that allows only selective molecules to pass through it.

A solution having higher concentration of solute than the cell cytoplasm is called a hypertonic solution.

A solution having lower concentration of solute than the cell cytoplasm is called the  hypotonic solution.

The movement of water molecules from the region of its higher concentration to the region of its lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.

A cell placed in hypertonic solution will undergo exosmosis so it will lose water and its mass will decrease.

A cell placed in hypotonic solution  will undergo endosmosis of water  so it will gain water and its mass will increase.
