A horticulturalist wants to produce geraniums with specific characteristics. She knows that the trait of red flowers is governed

by the allele R (RR and Rr) and the trait of white flowers is governed by the allele r (rr). The horticulturalist plans to cross a geranium that is homozygous for red flowers with a geranium that is homozygous for white flowers. Which Punnett square best describes that cross?

Answer:

Given,

RR and Rr = Red flower

rr = white flower

Homozygous condition means that both the alleles for the gene are either recessive or dominant alleles. Heterozygous condition means that one allele is recessive and other allele is dominant.

If a homozygous red flower geranium (RR) is crossed with a homozygous white flower geranium (rr), the Punnett square would be :

       R         R

r      Rr        Rr

r      Rr        Rr

Which microscope is used to observe a specimen that emits light when illuminated with an ultraviolet light?
jonny [76]

Answer: Fluorescence microscope

Explanation:

The basic function of a fluorescence microscope is to irradiate the specimen with a desired and specific band of wavelengths. A fluorescence microscope uses a mercury or xenon lamp to produce ultraviolet light. The light comes into the microscope and hits a dichroic mirror. The dichroic mirror reflects the ultraviolet light up to the specimen. The ultraviolet light excites fluorescence within molecules in the specimen. The objective lens collects the fluorescent-wavelength light produced. This fluorescent light passes through the dichroic mirror and a barrier filter, making it to the eyepiece to form the image.

A man with normal vision marries a color-blind woman. Red-green color blindness is an X- linked recessive disorder. They have a
jeyben [28]

Answer: The probability is 100%.

Explanation: The chromosome X is related to gender. A man carries two different chromosomes (XY) and a woman carries two similar chromosomes (XX). The offspring of a couple will inherited:

  • If it is a boy, he inherites the chromosome Y from his father and X from his mother;
  • If it a girl, she inherites X from her father and X from her mother;

In the question, the woman is color-blind, which means she carries the recessive alleles: X^{d}X^{d}

The man, on the other hand, is normal, so his X-linked genotype will be: X^{D}Y.

Now, since they have a daughter, she inherited her double X from each of her parents, which means she inherited one X^{d} from her mother and one X^{D} from her father.

So, the daughter's genotype can only be heterozygotic  X^{D}X^{d} in other words, the probability is 100%.
