2. DNA is important to carry genes or genetic materials of the parents
Answer: O made of polÿsaccharides and chitin
Explanation:
Explanation:
The phenotypes and genotypes of the progeny can be determined by a dihybrid cross of the parents.
The heterozygous male will have the genotype 'SSww' and the heterozygous female will have the genotype 'ssWW'.
When crossed, the F1 offsprings will have a hybrid genotype of 'SsWw'. These offsprings are heterozygous with spotted skin and wooly hair.
On self-crossing of the F1 hybrids, we find four different combinations of the alleles- SW, Sw, SW and sw. The probability of getting each of these combinations is 1/4.
Hence, the probability of any dihybrid type is 1 out of the 16 possible genotypes. Using Punnet square, we find
9 SSWW: 3 SSww: 3 ssWW : 1 ssww
This is the phenotypic ratio of the offsprings.
The ratio of the possible genotypes will be 1:2:1:2:4:2:1:2:1.
Answer:
Explanation:
When a substance has the capacity to disrupts the genetic compositions (DNA) of the organisms, to the extent that it makes the particular organism genetic materials prone to genetic mutation,( random changes in the genetic composition) such group of substances are called Mutagens.
ionizing radiation,radioactive decay are some examples of of physical mutagens, while biological mutagens examples include viruses and bacterial. Chemical mutagens are Benzene compounds,bromine,aromatic amines,sodium Azide.
They exerts their negative effects
by disrupting gene expression sequence of transcription, translation, or changed the nucleotides sequence of the DNA leading to deletion, addition, subtraction of genetic bases.Some may make chromosomes to be unstable, disrupting the structure
Although some mutagens can cause cancer, that is they are mutagens. not all mutagens carcinogenic.This is because the Mutagenic effects depends on the metabolites present in the cells of the organisms.
