n cattle, an autosomal mutation called Dexter produces calves with short stature and short limbs. Embryos that are homozygous fo

r the Dexter mutation have severely stunted development and either spontaneously abort or are stillborn. In addition roan cattle are the heterozygous hybrids of a cross between a white individual and a red individual. What progeny phenotypes do you expect from the cross of a roan Dexter cow to a roan Dexter bull

Answer:

1 DDRR - Red, non-dexter

2 DDRr - Roan, non-dexter

2 DdRR - Red, dexter

4 DdRr - Roan, dexter

1 DDrr - white, non-dexter

2 Ddrr - white, dexter

Explanation:

Dexter is deleterious in homozygous condition, hence, phenotypes are heterozygous.

Roan are also heterozygous.

If dexter allele is represented by D, non dexter individuals will be DD dexter individuals will have the genotype Dd.

If colour in cattle is represented by R, red individuals will be RR, white will be rr, then roan colour will be Rr.

Hence, roan dexter cow and roan dexter bull will both have DdRr genotypes.

Crossing the two:    DdRr   x   DdRr

Progeny:

1 DDRR - Red, non-dexter

2 DDRr - Roan, non-dexter

2 DdRR - Red, dexter

4 DdRr - Roan, dexter

1 DDrr - white, non-dexter

2 Ddrr - white, dexter

<em>Others that are either aborted or stillbirths include:</em>

<em>1 ddRR </em>

<em>2 ddRr </em>

<em>1 ddrr</em>

2. Explain why people with poorly controlled diabetes are at risk for amputation
mestny [16]
People with poorly controlled diabetes are at risk of amputation due to damage of nerves in the extremities of the body. This damage to nerves is caused by chronically  high blood sugar. The condition, when it is caused by uncontrolled blood sugar is called diabetic neuropathy.<span>Diabetic neuropathy mostly affects the feet and they lose feeling, such that an affected person cannot  sense pain. When they develop an ulcer or small injury to the feet, it may often go unnoticed and with time become infected.  High blood sugar impairs  the normal healing process and the injury or ulcer may not heal quickly thus compounding the problem. The outcome of this is that the infected part e.g. a toe, may fester and even become gangrenous putting the whole bod at risk and thus the only away to save the rest of the body is removal by amputation.</span>

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Destruction of tundra vegetation will likely result in melting of the permafrost. The tundra ecosystem is extremely sensitive to disturbance with little ability to restore itself. The melting of the permafrost will <span>cause the collapse of ground and loss of soil. </span>
