Imagine that a couple is planning to have children. The male is heterozygous for tongue rolling and homozygous dominant for unat

tached earlobes. The female is homozygous recessive for tongue rolling and heterozygous for unattached earlobes. The couple is curious about the possibility and probability of their offspring inheriting these traits. The ability to roll ones tongue is dominant (R) over the “non-rolling” condition (r.) Unattached earlobes (U) are dominant over attached earlobes (u) Complete a Punnett square for this cross and record the probabilities for genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring as ratios.

Answer:

 

F1 generation:         RrUu, rrUU, rrUu, RrUU

                               25% : 25%: 25%: 25%

Ratios

  • genotype:              1: 1: 1: 1   ...(from punnet square)
  • phenotype:               1 : 1

Explanation:

Punnett squares are a diagrammatic way of deciding the characteristics of hybrid offspring created by crosses in genetic breeding. Parental genotypes and phenotypes are widely recognized, and all usually obey normal Mendelian ratios and inheritance.

Mendelian genetics focuses on the origin or heritability of characteristics. Such traits are packed into one's own gamete, acquired by themselves, and sometimes display superiority, where one's impact can mask those of another trait.

These are called the Law of Segregation, Independent assortment and Dominance respectively.

For this cross...  Assuming:

Unattached lobes= dominant

  • Rolling tongue= dominant
  • Parent generation or P generation:

Gametes:

R → rolling dominant (R), non-rolling recessive (r)

U → unattached dominant (U), attached recessive (u)

P generation:                          RUrU× rUru

                       rolling, unattached  × non-rolling, unattached

F1 generation:         RrUu, rrUU, rrUu, RrUU

                               25% : 25%: 25%: 25%

Ratios

  • genotype:              1: 1: 1: 1   ...(from punnet square)
  • phenotype:               1 : 1

<em><u>Half the offspring have unattached lobes and can roll their tongues while the other half have unattached lobes and cannot roll their tongues...</u></em>

Each punnet cross is attached below

What did darwin believe was the primary cause of evolution?
lesya692 [45]

→ Darwin believed that the need to adapt, in similar words, the changes occruing in the environment caused evolution.

The main cause of evolution, according to Darwin, was natural selection. Natural selection is a process in which a group of organisms with certain characteristics survive and thrive, in comparison to other organisms with different characteristics. This idea basically means that having some characteristics makes you suited for an environment.


And how would that ↑ explain Evolution?

Well, evolution is the change in species that occurs during time. But for you to change, there must be a cause for that change, which is none other than the need to survive, reproduce, etc.


→ As mentioned before, not all characteristics are enough to surive, and hopefully the image pasted below will help you.



Hope it helped,

So, what is actually produced during the light reaction? Do you know the chemical<br> equation?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The light-dependent reactions convert light energy into chemical energy, producing ATP and NADPH. 5. The light-dependent reactions can be summarized as follows: 12 H2O + 12 NADP+ + 18 ADP + 18 Pi + light and chlorophyll yields 6 O2 + 12 NADPH + 18 ATP.
