It’s important to know the possible genotypic and phenotypic ratios of different genetic crosses because the the phenotype shows what the offspring will physically look like what the genotype is what genes the offspring carries. phenotype doesn’t always show what alleles the offspring carries because if the offspring is heterozygous for the gene only the dominant allele shows and the recessive allele won’t be visible. the genotype can see what alleles the offspring carries, both dominant and recessive. knowing the genotype helps to know what alleles are passed on. if one of the parents have a genetic mutation that is passed on, the phenotype helps see what ration of offsprings will have the mutation visible and the genotype will help see what ratio of offsprings will pass on the allele for the mutation

yuradex [85]

Answer:

For the 1st part, the correct answer is option C.

In a polymerase chain reaction, the amplification of DNA template takes place not RNA. So, prior to going into the process, there is a need to initially convert RNA into DNA with the help of an enzyme reverse transcriptase.

For the 2nd part, the correct answer is option D.

The suitable temperature for human DNA polymerase is 37 degrees Celsius, and it gets denatured at greater temperatures. As PCR runs at exceedingly high temperature like 95 degrees Celsius, only Taq DNA polymerase can withstand the temperature. Thus, normal DNA polymerase cannot be utilized in the PCR reactions.
