16. What could be some weaknesses with using a test cross to determine Fred's genotype?

Biology
1 answer:
Sati [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Weaknesses of a test cross

  • requires the observation of physical, phenotypic traits
  • requires a sizeable number of offspring to give reliable results
  • requires sometimes rarer, fully recessive individuals
  • the maturation time in order to observe the phenotypes expressed may be lengthy.

Explanation:

In a test cross, the homozygous recessive genes for a trait are crossed with those the individual with an unknown genotype. The homozygous alleles are the same. The unknown individual is thus, dominant, and may be either heterozygous (different alleles) or homozygous.

In sexual reproduction, gametes are formed from the independent assortment of genes. The parental genes are packaged together in new combinations. Thus, to determine an unknown, the test crosses determine which is the parent genotype through its ratios:

  • a homozygous dominant parent produces all heterozygous offspring
  • a heterozygous dominant parent produces homozygous and heterozygous offspring

However, the phenotypes must be observed to give results of this cross.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: The body systems that are involved are:

--> Nervous System and

--> muscular system.

Explanation:

The body is made up of different organ systems which usually works together to bring about proper functioning of the living organism. Examples of the body systems includes:

--> The nervous system: This system enables the animal to detect and respond to stimuli rapidly.

--> The muscular system: This system enables the organism to move from one location to another.

Both the nervous system and the muscular system work together to bring about coordination of activities. When you step on a tack and jeck away, sensory receptors detects stimuli from the external environment and pass the information received as an electrical impulses to the brain through the nerve fibres. The information is processed in the central processing region which is the brain.

The effectors such as the muscles goes into action upon receiving nerve impulses from the brain. Such actions includes muscular contractions which helps you to pick up the tack and put it on your desk.
