Consider this mating between genotypes AaBBccDd and AabbCCDd, where A, B, C and D are loci that assort independently and the upp

ercase and lower case letter indicate the dominant allele and recessive allele respectively. Show all of your work.
a. What is the probability that any given offspring of this pair will be heterozygous at all loci?
b. What is the probability that an offspring will be homozygous at all four loci?
c. What is the probability that an offspring will be phenotypically dominant?

Answer:

a. 1/4

b. 0

c. 9/16

Explanation:

Genotype of the parents: AaBBccDd and AabbCCDd.

Aa x Aa= 1/4 AA: 1/2 Aa: 1/4 aa

BB x bb= All Bb

cc X CC= All Cc

Dd x Dd= 1/4 DD: 1/2 Dd: 1/4 dd

a) The probability of the progeny heterozygous at all loci= 1/2 Aa x 1 Bb x 1 Cc x 1/2 Dd = 1/4.

b) The probability of an offspring that is homozygous at all four loci= 0

Since the progeny will be heterozygous for B and C. None of the progeny can be homozygous at these two loci.  

c.  

Aa x Aa= 3/4 dominant: 1/4 recessive

BB x bb= All dominant

cc X CC= All dominant

Dd x Dd=  3/4 dominant: 1/4 recessive

The probability of dominant offspring= 3/4 x 3/4 = 9/16

Identify the type of neuronal cell that detects bright light and provides high-resolution color vision.
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is b. cones.

Explanation:

Cones and rods are specialized cells, called photoreceptor cells, that are found in the retina and are responsible for our vision.

Cones, allow to the human eye to have a visual acuity (ability of the eye to resolve, transmit sharp images and perceive small details in an object) and provide sensitivity to the color, are more concentrated in the central yellow spot known as the macula.

There are three different types of cones in color reception: "L cones" (sensitive to long wavelength, which is red), "M cones" (sensitive to medium wavelength, which is green) and "S cones" (sensitive to short wavelength, which is blue). Since color perception depends on the activation of these three types of nerve cells, it follows that the visible color can be determined based on three numbers called triestimulus values.

The rods are necessary for the perception of light and darkness and to adapt to night vision, because they are very sensitive to low intensity light. On the contrary, they become completely blind to bright light and, therefore, lack importance with regard to daytime vision or visual acuity.
