In chickens, black and white feathers are codominant. Cross a black-feathered chicken with a checkered (black and white) feather
ed chicken. Identify the possible alleles. Bb BbGg Identify the genotypes of the parents. Create a Punnett square on your own paper for this cross. What is the ratio of the possible phenotypes of the F1 generation
1 answer:
Answer:
The parental cross is BB x BW.
The F1 generation will have the ratio 1 BB : 1 BW
Explanation:
Black (B) and white (W) feathers are codominant. This means that if an individual has both B and W alleles (BW genotye) its feathers will show both colors at the same time (checkered).
A cross occurrs between a black feathered (BB) and a checkered chicken (BW).
The BB chicken can only produce B gametes.
The BW chicken can produce B or W gametes.
The Punnett Square (which I attach) is done by combining the gametes to obtain the possible F1 offspring. It shows that the F1 generation will have the following genotypes and phenotypes:
- 1/2 BB (Black feathers)
- 1/2 BW (Checkered feathers)

Explanation:
Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate (through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).
overall: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP
Further Explanation:
In all eukaryotic cells, mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced.
Oxidative phosphorylation follows; this is a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.
This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...
- Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm. 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. (2 ATP are utilized for a net ATP of 2)
- The Citric acid or Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
- The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.
