Feather color in budgies is determined by two different genes that affect the pigmentation of the outer feather and its core. Y_

B_ is green; yyB_ is blue; Y_bb is yellow; and yybb is white. A green budgie is crossed to a blue budgie. Which of the following results is not possible?
all green offspring
all blue offspring
all white offspring
all yellow offspring
All of these are possible, but with different probabilities.

Answer:

C (All white offsprings)

Explanation:

Feather colour in budgies is coded for by two genes (Y and B). The allele Y is dominant over the allele y in the first gene while the allele B is dominant over the allele b.

In a combined state of the two genes;

1. When either of both genes contains a dominant allele, the phenotypic characteristics (feather colour) will be green i.e. YYBB, YyBB, YYBb, YyBb genotypes

2. When both alleles of gene Y are recessive (yy), and one or two of the alleles of gene B are dominant (Bb, BB), the phenotypic characteristics will be blue i.e. yyBB, yyBb genotypes

3. When both alleles of gene B are recessive (bb) and one or two of the alleles of gene Y are dominant (Yy, YY), the phenotypic characteristics will be yellow i.e. Yybb, YYbb genotypes

4. When both alleles of gene Y and B are both recessive (y and b), the phenotypic characteristics will be white i.e. yybb genotype

In this case where a green budgie is crossed with a blue budgie, meaning that, a budgie with either of the genotypes YYBB, YyBB, YYBb, YyBb is crossed with a budgie with either genotypes yyBB, yyBb

Both parents contains genotype that have at least one dominant allele for both genes, therefore, their offsprings cannot have all their alleles recessive.

Since white feather colour will only be phenotypically expressed if both alleles in the two genes are homozygous recessive, then all offsprings cannot have all white feathers (yybb).

Answer:

Explanation:

Research published on January 7 in the journal Nature Genetics shows that identical twins differ by an average of 5.2 genetic mutations. The authors argue that these small differences between twins' genetic code could change how scientists study human development.

Answer:

A. Miosis

B. DNA molecule

C. Body cells

D. phenotype

E. Recessive traits

F. genotype

G. Punnet square

H. nondisjunction

I. mitosis

J. sex cells

Explanation:

In meiosis cell division, a parent cell divides into four daughter cells whereas in mitosis, one cell divides into two daughter cells. If change occur in DNA molecules, mutation occurs. Phenotype refers to physical characteristics of an organism whereas genotype indicates genetic characteristics. Recessive traits only appears when the organisms have same traits or allele. Somatic cells is known as body cells whereas gametes is known as sex cells.

Why is it important for the cell membrane to allow materials to enter and leave the cell
umka21 [38]
<span>Cell membrane needs to allow and exit the materials that enter the cell because the cell needs nutrients and these nutrients are converted into molecules that aid in many cellular activities like repair, divide and form structures and biomolecules.
Also to excrete wastes and other harmful materials for the cell.
This continues because the cell wants to attain homeostasis.

Homeostasis is the state where the internal and external part of the body maintains and establishes balance and equilibrium. This is achieved through cellular processes in the body, the integumentary system regulates the body temperature, the hypothalamus –hunger and thirst of the individual and other interrelated organ systems that make the body healthy and in the state of equilibrium. Now, when diseases or disorders appear they disrupt the organ systems in the body thus, causing imbalance state –high fever, inability to focus and etc.<span>
