A sugarcane plant with yellow pollen and wavy leaves is crossed with a plant with yellow pollen and smooth leaves. Seed are coll

ected and germinated. The following results are obtained in the progeny:
153 yellow pollen, wavy leaves
145 yellow pollen, smooth leaves
48 white pollen, wavy leaves
51 white pollen, smooth leaves

a. For each locus (trait): Assign appropriate symbols for the alleles of the genes, indicate the dominance interaction between the two alleles, and give all possible genotypes and their associated phenotypes
b. Give the genotypes of the parents of this cross.
c. Give the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the progeny of this cross.

Answer:

a.

i) Y and y represent Yellow and white alleles for the pollen color gene; where Y (yellow) is dominant over y (white).

ii) W and w represent wavy and smooth alleles respectively for the leaf texture gene. W (wavy) is dominant over w (smooth).

YYWW, YyWW, YyWw, YYWw- yellow, wavy phenotype

YYww, Yyww- yellow, smooth phenotype

yyWW, yyWw- white, wavy phenotype

yyww- white, smooth phenotype

b) yellow pollen and wavy leaves (YyWw) × yellow pollen and smooth leaves (Yyww)

c) Expected genotypic and phenotypic ratio of progeny: 3:3:1:1

Explanation:

This question involves two distinct genes; one coding for pollen color and the other for leaf texture. Let Y and y represent Yellow and white alleles respectively for the pollen color gene; where Y (yellow) is dominant over y (white) while W and w represent wavy and smooth alleles respectively for the leaf texture gene; W allele (wavy) is dominant over w allele (smooth).

Next, we convert the progeny number to phenotypic ratio by dividing each number by the smallest number (48)

yellow pollen, wavy leaves= 153/48 =3.18

yellow pollen, smooth leaves= 145/48= 3.02

white pollen, wavy leaves= 48/48= 1

white pollen, smooth leaves= 51/48= 1.06

Approximately, the phenotypic ratio of the progeny is 3:3:1:1

According to the question, a parent with with yellow pollen and wavy leaves will have genotype YyWw because white pollen (w) and smooth leaf (s) was produced in the progeny. Also, the other parent with yellow pollen and smooth leaves will have genotype: Yyww. In a cross between these two parents i.e. YyWw × Yyww, the following gametes will be produced:

YyWw- YW, Yw, yW, yw

Yyww- Yw, Yw, yw, yw

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attachment), the following 16 offsprings will be produced in a ratio 3:3:1:1

yellow pollen, wavy leaves (Y_W_) 6

yellow pollen, smooth leaves (Y_ww) 6

white pollen, wavy leaves (yyW_) 2

white pollen, smooth leaves (yyww) 2

Complete the following vocabulary exercise related to the process of translation of mRNA to protein by the ribosome.
Deffense [45]

When mRNA exits the nucleus, it travels to a ribosome, which is made up of proteins and rRNA. The ribosome reads the mRNA's codon sequence. The correct sequence of amino acids is delivered to the ribosome by tRNA molecules. A ribosome is responsible for translating the codons in mRNA into a chain of amino acids.

Initiation, elongation, and termination are the three main stages of translation. The small subunit and the big subunit are two distinct subunits that make up the ribosome. The tiny subunit binds to the mRNA's 5' end during initiation.

Then it shifts in a 5' x 3' direction. The TR when RNA that has an amino acid linked to it binds to the mRNA. They participate in translation because they are molecules that are involved in protein synthesis, which is translation. And those molecules that link the minor assets Holden's RNA from M. with. The mRNA is now bound to the tRNA by antipodean.

Newborn human babies with lesser body weight are prone to infections. Heavier babies are difficult to deliver through the narrow
Kipish [7]
The answer is (A) stabilizing selection. Stabilizing selection favors the average in a population. In this case, babies that are born at a normal body weight, or an average between the two extremes of underweight and large, tend to have more favorable outcomes.
