You have to first make some observations and then ask a question. Then you make a hypothesis (or guess) what the answer is - do the experiment to see if you're right!
Answer:
The correct option is Number 1. AaBb x AaBb
Explanation:
Genes can be described as basic hereditary units. The genes are made up of DNA.
A gene carries two alleles for a particular trait. These alleles are present at the same loci in the homologous chromosomes. If the two alleles are similar then they are termed as homozygous e.g AA, BB. If the alleles for a trait are different then they are termed as heterozygous e.g Aa and Bb.
Answer:
E
Explanation:
Hardy-Weinberg principle states that frequency of alelle and genotype will remain constant in the absence of genetic disturbances such as mutation, no change in the DNA sequence, the population must be large and others
the principle is defined by the equation
p² + 2pq + q² = 1
where the frequency of the dominant allele is p, and the frequency of the recessive allele is q. Going by the what is given which is for the carriers is 0.04 = 2pq
substitute the value into the expression
p² + 0.04 + q² = 1; The information is not enough to calculate either p or q going by the equation generated.
Having the haploid number of chromosomes allows the zygote to have the correct number. If gametes weren't haploid, every generation of organisms would have twice as many chromosomes as their parents. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
