In foxes, silver coat (r) is recessive to red coat (R). Two foxes are mated. One of the parent foxes has a red coat and one has

a silver coat. The litter that results contains four red-coat and three silver-coat kits.
(a) What is the genotype of the red-coat parent?
(b) What is the genotype of the silver-coat parent?
(c) What are the genotypes of the offspring?
(d) Did segregation of alleles occur?
(e) Did independent assortment of alleles occur?

Answer:

<h2>Genotypes of parents are Rr and rr.</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

A homozygous fox would have either two dominant alleles (RR) or two recessive alleles (rr).  

A heterozygous fox would have a mix of both one dominant allele and one recessive allele (Rr).

However, a heterozygous fox can only be red, as the (Rr) combination will make it so that the dominant red coat trait will rule over the recessive allele.

(a).  as given that f 1 generation are 4 red and 3 white , so RED coat can not be homozygous dominant , So red coat will be Rr (heterozygous dominant).

(b). silver coat is recessive homozygous , rr

(c).  genotypes of offspring  Rr, Rr, rr, rr.

(d) yes

(e) yes

What is happening to the DNA molecule in the figure? (Explain the first step in DNA replication)
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

As this is DNA replication, this is the unwounding process

Explanation:

In DNA replication, the parent DNA to be replicated is unwound to enable access of the replication machinery (replisome) to this genetic material. The origin of replication will be identified first, which in the prokaryotes is only one, and in the eukaryotes, we have many. This sites are recognized by specific sequences on the genome. after this, melting of the DNA occurs at this origin creating a replication bubble and two replication forks. This  allows for the unwinding of the DNA by the enzyme Helicases in the direction of the replication fork. Another enzyme present in this step is also the single strand binding proteins (SSB). These proteins function in the prevention of re-anealing of the unwound DNA strand by attaching themselves to each strands. Another enzyme called the topoisomerases also function here by reducing the torque (twisting) produced upstream of the replication fork as result of DNA unwounding. An example is the gyrase

What are the only organelles found in prokaryotic cells.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

The word "prokaryote" is derived from Greek words that mean "before nucleus." Prokaryotic cells contain fewer organelles or functional components than do eukaryotic cells. Their four main structures are the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes and genetic material (DNA and RNA).
